You're not alone.
My experience in Habitat for Humanity and with various churches offering programs to get the homeless off the street and into homes and jobs, is that people who want help go to places that offer help. People who want easy cash for selfish/self-harming reasons beg on the corners/parking lots presenting either lies or scams.
- jlokier 7y agoMy experience is more mixed, but it probably depends on what kinds of places and what kinds of help are available in the area. E.g. an undocumented migrant might be too afraid to go to places that could help (sometimes that's justified unfortunately), and end up self-harming because what else are you going to do stuck on the street with no future you can see, but it doesn't mean they started out motivated to self-harm.
