I made a typo in my original post. I gave her ten dollars, not twenty.
I'm still not sure if I got played. Even if I did, I feel OK about giving her the money. I did what I did out of kindness. I also thought of a time my hubby and I ran out of gas out in the boonies. We had a gas can, but it was gonna be a long walk to a gas station. Some kind soul gave us a ride to a gas station, then drove us back to the car.
For what it's worth, friends also think I got played.
I keep thinking about it. There was a time in my life I'd be beating myself up for having been played. BUT I did what I did to try and help a person I thought was in need. That's not a bad thing. I feel good about what I did, even if she did play me.
