Yes. That’s the point. It feels worse for you, but better for them. If you want to be kind, deal with the discomfort. Otherwise just admit it’s not about the money and you’re just looking after yourself :)
Comment on Is it normal that I feel pretty bad for ignoring homeless people begging for money?
Asudox@lemmy.world 9 months agoThat feels somewhat worse. Interacting with homeless people and not helping them kind of feels worse than just ignoring.

Now that you say it, it does indeed seem like that.

What a genuinely and entirely selfish statement. 🤢

With statements like these it feels like you're not trying to change the situation. It feels like all you're trying to do is tear down this person, who is pretty obvious having moral issues over this thing.
If your goal is to help homeless people you're doing a shit job.
If you're trying to induce apathy, no notes. You're doing a bang up job.

Yeah, I think there’s something there.
It feels worse to acknowledge a suffering sector of humanity than to ignore it.
But, it feels worse to be ignored when suffering than it does to feel seen when suffering.
