Hello forum

Here's one for you. Each morning I pop to the shop to fetch a paper, some milk and any other odd groceries we are running low on. On my journey there and back each day I must walk past a few homeless people and a big issue seller. I'm asking it is wrong to ignore and blank beggars and people who try and talk to you? This applies also to people trying to sell you stuff or asking to donate money to charity . I'm a compassionate and polite man but the number of times I get stopped, especially in the city is out of control now. I know I never would, but sometimes I just want to keep my head down and ignore everybody!

Especially with homeless people. There's so many homeless people in the city centre I feel like an awful people to say no to every single person who stops me but I can't donate to everyone! Its somewhat demoralizing! I just apologise and wish them a good day, but I feel bad even doing that . Just the other week, one replied "I probably won't I've got no food or shelter" . I felt awful!

As for people handing out flyers I suppose it's not so bad to walk past them but I still feel rude doing so!


What do you think forum? Do you blank people on the streets , homeless or sales/ flyers people ?
