My girlf wants me and her to do some volunteering at a homeless shelter/soup kitchen type place

I want to, but I’m a bit scared. I don’t know why. Maybe I’m worried people will be a bit crazy or smell bad. I know I shouldn’t feel this way but I do. 😬

@Strongtea when i was a kid my family attended a church that had a homeless program and would feed the homeless every week .. i decided as a kid that it was super germy and i hated germs.. one time my dad got upset at me because i took my blanket from my friend away from my lil sister because she didn't take a bath after going to the germ place .. i guess i was kinda a mean kid 😬 idk if my sister remembers that but i do cause my dad told me off 😬

Awww, I would have been the same, I was a super clean kid!@YoMomma

@Strongtea she told me latter she would scrub her arms extra good cause i would check them to see if they were clean when she got out of the shower.. poor kid.. i must have traumatized her with all my anti germ prejudice 😳😬 i don't remember that at all but i guess she did 😬

Oh dear, the things we used to do! It’s ok, you turned out nice! 👍@YoMomma

@Strongtea oh man.. i would hope so but i'm not there yet 😬 sometimes things happen to people that make them become homeless or sometimes they were from bad homes and ended up in the street .. it's good to have compassion and help others when possible.. i wish more was done to help them.. look at the billions governments spend on other stupid stuff.. they should take care of their own destitute and homeless first 😐 nobody should be living in the street ever 😐
