I don't let money come in the way of my friendships. If I give money to a friend, unless there is terrible need for it to be repaid, then it is a gift. If it comes back to me, then it is also a gift.

Friendship is a gift and should not be treated as a loan, nor as currency.

@ThatDamnCat aye once a long time ago i was told "never lend what you can't afford to lose"

since then if someone wants to repay me i let them. sometimes thats important. otherwise it's like you say. just a gift.

Agreed.

I respect my friends and they respect me because we earn that respect by everything we do. This leads to my friends often being closer than blood family.
