Why do people withdraw their generosity during crisis?

[vv181]

Generally, one takes a precaution within their life first before others. I don't mean a broad generalization but a basic instinct is people will prioritize themselves before others, and that other being is also different in their social relations. So, I think it is not merely people withdrawing from helping others, but they themselves are setting up better survival guidelines with their social circle.

Nevertheless, in the OP scenario, it must be sought that everyone should self-reflect on their own position within the world, I mean taking a broad look at whether you are in a relationship that is one-sided beneficiary relationship. We can't force how other should behave toward us and change things that are beyond our control, but by deeply figuring ourselves it will help pave the way forward for an embracing better future relations.

I always tell my friends that anyone that manages to give you a dollar in this economy likes you. Things are not the same again, people are having financial crises secretly within themselves without letting their friends know.  Each day, they come out strong while deep down they have nothing to give out to their friends. Not that they can't, they are only saving up for rainy days.

I don't feel bad whenever any of my friends can't offer a helping hand to assist me financially. I blame the economy for that.

[CryptocurencyKing]

One good turn they say deserves another. Its a world of credit and debts for some. Its hard not to render help as one that have been aided. Some people don't know what I means to be in the position of receiving help and haven't give before, it sort of feels exhausting.
That though shouldn't be some reason not to help, you help when you can and according to what measure you wish to.
The other end to this remains that, the side receiving help shouldn't be having much expectation. They have to try to work this out amd when help doesn't come or perhaps not in time, they too could reduce there burden. Life has always been that way.

Be nice enough to help when you can.

This is exactly how life is; no matter how many times it is repeated or preached, people will always do what they want to do. People are interested in what you can provide them right now, not in what you will become in the future or how they can help you. Whatever one does today, do it with a selfless heart and ask nothing in return. Because expectations often lead to disappointment, and disappointment leads to a shattered heart, which can eventually knock you down. Help while you can and expect nothing in return, and you'll live a happy life without worrying about what others can do to repay your charity when things don't go as planned.

In today's time where there is extreme inflation and employment, where there is depression  anxiety ,everyone is  stuck in their problems and is trying to maintain a normal life . It is really difficult to someone to help anyone in this time but those who are capable of helping anyone they should help less privileged people of society.
Another reason of not showing generosity is some people are selfish and never wants to help anyone .

How do we eliminate such a lifestyle from our culture? People ought to be able to support one another regardless of the situation; generosity need not involve material possessions but rather kindness and love for other people. We must develop the ability to support people through both good and difficult situations. That is how life should be.

How fervently are you to others because there's something I understand about life is that whenever you play an important roles to peoples life they also replicate what you have done to them, your behavior and attitudes really matters.
Now during crisis people tends to take absolute care of themselves before interfering for others, they source for their security and protection.

You're right, my friend, some individuals simply want to get assistance and never want to extend it. However, when they are in need, they scream for assistance and beg for it if no one help They call them gluttons. Life requires us to be patient with others and to lend a hand when you can. since no one can predict the future. I really believe that you can always have what you desire if you assist others achieve their goals.

We cannot blame people at the moment, most people in all countries of the world are going through difficult times due to bad global economic conditions. Because of the spread of high prices and wars everywhere, people have become concerned only with themselves and their families. We cannot blame them because the reality is bad and people cannot bear additional burdens more than that. Of course, it is necessary and good for those who have the ability to help people because this is the duty of people towards each other, society A human being should not be without mercy even in such difficult circumstances.

[Proro]

Sometimes we think that the people around us don't feel like helping, but that's not always the case because they may be facing their own various challenges. The problem some time we jump into conclusion that they don't want to help but the truth is that they want help themselves.

You can have many people with you during your good and happy times but you'll have few friends during your hard time ,this is the hard reality of this world.  Helping others and being able to do something for someone is a blessing and every person is not blessed enough or I can say capable enough to help other. In today's world people are so mean and self centered that they dnt feel any need to help anyone in crisis.

That's natural, because they may be under tremendous pressure, especially during the current economic situation.
they must focus on finding a way out of each problem on their own.
because when the economy goes down, people will panic at first, and they will definitely focus on finding a way out.
and tend to like to ignore the people around.

Sometimes, rather than nature, it depends on the thinking of the individual. Even when threatened with a pistol, some people refuse to lend a hand. They are really avaricious. We must learn to constantly check in on one another. People are going through a lot right now, so even a small act of kindness might cheer them up or give them a cause to smile once more.
No matter how much stress someone is under, let's be happy to lend a helping hand.

Harsh truth is that we humans are selfish in our bones. Being generous is a good trait that only exists in peaceful environment and people to associate with others or behave like a nice person. Giving money, food, clothes or any other things is not even a problem. However, in times of crisis, nobody would ever care about human morality and all we could think about is us, how to protect us from any harm or loss. Therefore, it is not weird when we hear in times of war or hunger,  people killed and ate people only to survive. Human nature as it is.

you do you show love to people outside your family? Because everyone seems to be advocate of good behaviour but some of are worse than what we preach against. Give without season, your faith can only be tested doing crises.

In life, we all battling with uncertain behaviour, that one will wonder why certain characters occur when one needs a helping hand most. we are facing some difficulties in our communities and families, and the people you think will assist you to sort things out seems to be the ones to disappoint you.its seems to me that person don't value life, they shows concerns only when people  are celebrating and withdraw when things goes wrong. Such life should be discourage in the society.  We should not only show up when things are working, we should always stand in good and bad time.

This is called 'Life,' & nothing is new in your post. Everyone here had faced the same in their life. So don't expect anything from anyone; this should be the only way of life. Remember, the wrong time reveals who is sincere with you and who is fake. So the one standing with you in your wrong time is the only person who is honest with you. But in the current ERA, finding such a sincere person isn't easy.

I am not sure what you mean about this. People are often known to help each other during crisis and have a feeling of unity.

People here in Finland were quite polarized just few whiile ago. After Russia attacked Ukraine everyone wanted to help, they volunteered in lots of things and people united for Ukraine, and against Putin no matter which political party you were member of. Now we are saving energy and consider it as their humanitarian duty to help with the energy crisis. Cities have ordered to save energy in the winter and they are happy to do so.

If a green party would have suggested saving energy while ago and set up mandatory rules for cities, people would have lost their minds. But because the crisis is imminent, we don't even think twice about it.

I appreciate Their effort for reaching out to them. But I have witness some cases in life where someone you trusted so much turn you down where you needed him most.

That is how you know those who are sincerely rendering help to you, it is during your difficult moment. Those who run away from friends who are in need are bad friends and should be avoided when you get back on your feet. People should not pick their friends because they hang out with them at bars or casinos. Those places are full of people who bond over drinks and cigarettes and away from the real issues at hand. Another thing we have to learn here is that those who do that are hypocrites.

Ah you were talking about personal crisis, not national crisis. That's another issue. Most of friends aren't really as trustworthy as they seem. It's easy to say that "contact me if you need anything". Most of them doesn't mean it. It's just a quick way to comfort someone without putting anything on the line.

And they won't be expecting anyone picking their offer. Or if they do they would help with as minimum effort as they can. You don't need to be a bad person to promise help and take it away. Because it's a learned cultural thing and everyone is doing it. At least the part where they offer help (and in the end won't help if asked).

Often people have only 1 or 2 close people they can count on everything (if they are lucky). And often they are their own parents or relatives or room mates, or people they are romantically involved with.

But anyway, i see what you mean and it sucks. I have some friends, but i would need to think for a while who would help me lifting things or drive if i needed to move to another apartment. I could maybe count some of them unless they had something to do that day. I am uncertain if helping of me would be any kind of priority to most of them. If i had more serious issues, i prbably wouldn't have strenght to even ask.

A strange character of human beings or call when there is nothing in the possession of such a particular person it is when I'm a man is Italy lack of money it is when you will know it's negative behaviours or on something behaviours so I believe that what changes the situation of a man is because of lack of what it want
