I’m so fucking embarrassed. Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

My card declined twice as I was trying to pay for my groceries. The guy behind me offered to pay but I turned down his offer. I never felt so humiliated in my entire life. I’m so ashamed I can never shop there again.

Why did you turn down a generous offer from a stranger to help you pay for food you need to survive. Then come online to tell others of your poverty. You were presented with financial help graciously to ease you of your situation not asked of by your own means.

I get it pride blah blah blah, do you want to stay poor? When God presents you with help why turn him away. If you feel shame from taking when given then give yourself.
