How would you feel if you see a homeless man on a street crying?

[Anonymous]

Stop by and help him by finding a job for him.

Help him by buying food for him.

Take him in to live with me for a bit until he finds a new job.

Ignore him

Others.

Most people who post things like this have never volunteered or done anything of that sort. I've done a lot of volunteer and charity work and I continue to do it because well... I find I have too much time on my hands ever since my divorce. Anyway, if a homeless guy is sitting there crying, I would probably recommend staying away because such a high number of them have mental issues. People talk about buying him lunch or what not, but does he even want lunch? In large cities, there are so many programs available to the homeless, but all those programs do is increase homelessness by making it easier or more comfortable to be homeless. Everyone assumes that homeless people want the things you have -- a job, a credit card bill, a mortgage, and a crazy girlfriend -- but those assumptions are all wrong. Do you know what happens when the police try to direct the homeless to shelters when the temperatures drop below 40? There's outrage from the homeless -- "Is it illegal to be homeless now?"

I don't know the solutions, but as someone who does a lot of volunteer work, I can definitely tell you lots of stories about either the homeless, lonely elderly people, or women who are just getting out of prison.

Call me an asshole, but I would ignore them :/
Sorry dude, but who knows why they're crying, maybe they're crying because the drugs fucked up their brains. I don't trust homeless people anymore, most don't use the money for necessary stuff.
Sure, I may be wrong in some cases, but I can't stop every time I see a homeless person with a problem.

I'd walk over to talk to him. I'd ask him if he needed a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear

. I have a profound compassion for homeless people. I've given items of clothing , covers and food to homeless people in my area. I bought one man a McDonald's breakfast. You'd think I'd given him gold. So I couldn't turn a blind eye to a homeless man crying. My conscience and compassion wouldn't let me

Probably ignore him, I don't notice people in the street and I usually am hustling to go somewhere.

If I'm having one of those chill days where I'm strolling and listening to music, maybe buy him some food if he passed on my creep-ometer. Cry with him, try and solve his problems. But that's very idealized because there are crackhead homeless people who could just be having a bad trip.

I would definitely feel pity for the guy. I would give him money and buy him food to eat. I dont like seeing people so low like that. But im struggling to make ends meet myself, so its not to much that I can do.

[JulieXO]

I doubt anyone would invest their own time into finding a job for a homeless person. There's very few employers who'd want a homeless person working for them.

[WoOolfy]

T. T. Talk to him, ask why he's crying, offer help. Do everything I can to help him. I'm one of those crazy people that if I had my house I wish take them in... XD

[qdoek]

Over here I would not care, there is a system here which allows everybody to have an apartment for relatively low costs whilst you get money from the government or a place to stay for next to nothing.

any and everything I can do. they're still people and I empathize with them

[ambertaylor]

Talk to him, ask him if he's okay, give him my time, buy him some food, advise him the best I could.

[ArabianPwincess197]

I'd feel sad and ask him what's wrong, get him some food and give him some cash

[LovelyyLaura]

I'd ask him what is wrong and do whatever I can t help

[warsevf]

People have to take care of themselves. Crying implicates inability to do something. But in the end everyone finds a solution to their problem. All they have to do is wait and grab the opportunity

[astrOnaut01]

I doubt that most of the people who voted B would actually do it.

If I'm being honest, I would walk past him while feeling guilty.

[Anonymous]

Ignore him. It's obvious what's wrong with him and I can't do anything for him.

[pooper89]

I'd want to buy him lunch or somethin

[ASEXY]

Nothing. I wouldn't care.

[cupidkisses]

I would feel sad for him

[blondfrog]

I'd feel bad and give him change or her.

[ΉOMO_乇尺乇CTU丂]

Hug him.

[mandyoi]

I would help him.
