Do you help your friends when they need help?

yes i will help my friend when they need help, i always extend my help financially because most of my friends are poor. in school i help them on many projects we had. i do not know why many of them abuse my kindness. because they are my friend it's okay for me.

I try and help my friends in need whenever I can. And especially those who have helped me out at some time or the other. Of course we wish that our friends always returned favours but it is not always possible. Sometimes there are occasions when I have needed help and no friend has come forward.

To be tru not always I can but when I can I always come to help and my friend know that.WHen I need something I not always ask but when I ask they come to help.

Talking help friends i think i have done too much and many times. However the opposite is not so good when i need help they seems reluctant to help in many ways. Sometimes there is certain sense of regrets pop up to my mind why i help them before. Still i have the feelings to help them whenever they are in trouble. I don't know why i have that kind of feelings too much sympathy towards others. I am trying to learn how to balance my sympathy so that i don't regret again someday whenever my friend not helping me. Throwing my bad habits of being to good to people which can be bad for myself. I have wasted my money, my efforts, my time to do everything i can to help others. But in return i get to little to count.

I always help my friends whenever I can. I am so glad that my friends are as helpful as me. Whenever I can't help I tell them and they would tell me too. I told them that being honest with each other will strengthen our friendship. If my friend feels lazy of coming over to help, I would just say okay then all of a sudden I would hear them knocking. I don't complain to them that is the problem they hate about me. I just let them be who they wanna be. I told them I won't ask help if I can do it myself. So it always end up that they help me too.

It's good to help people regardless of if they're your friend or not... I do my best to help people... Also, it's not that I'm a saint, but for my own sanity issues, I don't expect anything from anybody... My thing is, less I expect from people, less the "let down"... I don't go helping people expecting someday they'll return the favor by helping me, I helped you now you help me kindda thing... In a way, it's a bit selfish reason but I found that more expectation I have of people, more disappointed I get... It's always to do good thing out of our heart instead of out of obligation... I've been lucky enough that when I needed help, I ran into some people with similar attitude towards helping people... Don't get me wrong, when I get a chance to show my gratitude for their help, I suddenly do... But when I try, their responds always have been, "No, it's ok... It's good to know that our help meant something & it would be good enough that when someone else needs help, you'll do the same... Lend a helping hand without looking for something in return..." Believe me, I do understand your frustration though... It would be nice to know that you can count on your friends... But also understand that there are people out there that "Thank you" is reason enough for them to go out of heir way to help you... I guess now the question is, where do you find them... Take a look around you, you may have more "friends" than you realize...

Hi Tricia. Yes, it is always good to be helping each other when help is needed. I try my best to provide the help needed. I value the community spirit and the interdependency amongst all fellow-human beings. Forunately, I have very good friends who are always ready to help me when I ask them to. Best wishes to you.

Yes, I often help out my friends when they need it. I know that they will do the same for me when I need it. :O)

Yes we do. My hubby has given money to a sibling. We have let people borrow one of our cars. We have babysat for others as well. Most of the time it turns out well. There are a few exceptions. Mostly we scatch backs and have gotten scratched.

I agree with you. There are really people who you call friends who don't help you when you need them but when they ask for your help you're there for them right away. And just like you, I will still continue helping others even if they won't help me because that makes me a better person than them.

I try to help when I can. I never see the bad side of people and so many times they show it. Fortunately I don't hold a grudge. Yea I help who I am able to.

i like to help people too, in fact i love helping friends and family do whatever it is that needs to be done. and where i feel a little hurt when they don't recipricate the gesture, i realize that sometimes they really cant. they may have finatial problems or there may be some other problem that comes up that makes it so they cant help you at the specific time I need it. so it really depends on the situation. if they need help and its in my power to provide that help then i freely offer it or give it when its asked. but to avoid getting hurt feelings when i need help i dont expect that they will be able to help me in return. i just do it because i like to help...but i also realize that life sucks and gets in the way a lot of the time and its really a luck out for it to not.

Of course, I will help my friends when they need help.

Along time ago when i was younger i would say yes but in this particular moment i just say no!!!!, because when i need the help of my friends i was just alone in the dark, and for that i dont help anyone when you just get worried with other person problem you dont see yours, so i just decided not get involved in other person life, its easier.

I always help out with my friends, in whatever way I can. For a long time, I was always on the giving end. A year ago, I got into extreme difficulties, and I was surprised at the support my friends gave me. They went out of their way to provide me with what I need. When I try to refuse, their answer is this, "We know that if the situation is reversed, you will do the same for us." I was extremely touched by that statement. I'm sorry to hear that your friends do not help you out when you need them. Maybe you should be on the lookout for new and better friends..(jokingly..)

Sure I do! As long as I am able to do it, every time friends ask me for help, I would help. In fact, I keep waiting for people to ask me for help! Honest!! But one thing is, if they are just lazy and can do what they are asking themselves, I would get put off instead.

I always help my friends. I thought that it is good to give a helping hand. But I notice that whenever I need help none of them is around so I stop help friends. Strangers are always willing to help me so now I am only helping strangers.

I'm sorry your friends are so undepedable, Tricia, but I'm glad that their neglect hasn't dulled your helping spirit. I'm like you, I will help anyone who needs it as best as I can and there have been times when those same people have not been there for me when I needed them, too. These days my husband and I are very fortunate. We have a lot of family living nearby, grown children and nieces and nephews, my husband's brother and others so, whenever we do need help with something, someone is always willing to lend us a hand.
