One of the fastest ways to destroy a good friendship is to borrow money from someone who trusts you and then start avoiding them. You stop answering calls. You ignore messages. You see their posts but cannot respond to a simple question about repayment. Meanwhile, the person who lent you the money is now uncomfortable asking for what belongs to them. If you genuinely cannot pay, communicate. If you can pay, do the right thing. Don’t make someone regret helping you when you were the one who needed them.
