I got confronted today by a homeless person ☹️

She thought I was taking photos or videos of her (I wasn’t obviously) and she was insisting that I was. I opened up my photos app to show her that I wasn’t. Then she started crying and told me one of her friends died today. I told her I was very sorry to hear that and for her to have a good day and she left. 

I really felt like my psych degree came in handy for de escalating that

I bet she was about to play you into pity

I try to carry around change if I have it, and I’ll give that out, but if I don’t there’s nothing for me to give
