It’s definitely tough to have a moment like that, especially when the intention was good. I remember a time when I helped a friend out financially, thinking it would ease their burden. However, it didn’t work out the way I hoped. They didn’t take it seriously and continued to make poor financial choices, which led to tension between us. I regretted stepping in because it seemed to enable their behavior, and instead of strengthening our friendship, it created awkwardness. I learned that while helping others is important, it’s also crucial to set boundaries and ensure that the help is genuinely going to be a positive influence.
