When your friend want to borrow your thing,will you give it?

I think the value of the item, and the person has to be taken into considering before I let any friend of mine borrow something. If I trust them then of course I am going to let them borrow certain things, if it is something a lot larger in value, like a laptop for instance, I may have to question their need for it.

I put limits on my friends on borrowing things because I had bad experiences about it. My friend borrowed me for instance a CD and she didnt return it to me until now. As times go by and Im also busy and forgot that she borrowed a CD from me. Now I put limits about my things in borrowing and I also follow up so that they will return it sooner.

If it will be my close friends or best friends would ask a favor or ask something from, then I wouldn't think twice of lending them because I know I can trust them. However, like if it's just a normal friend, that you know, the usual co-worker and the sort that you consider friend, not being selfish or whatever, I try to limit myself and control myself of being thoughtful and generous.. I had experiences of co-workers asking for money, which I have lend him, but unfortunately wasn't able to pay me.. It sucks, cause it not only lost a person's trust but also the friendship.. So even I have something to lend, I try not to.. To avoid the future trouble.. I think it's better to be practical rather losing a friend because of something, like the money..

hi friends i dont mind sharing my things with my friends and my friends also lend me things ,when i am in need. we all of us share things among us and there are no chances of losing or either getting them spoilt,as we value our belongings. love you all byeeeeee

Well, I know who my friends are or who I call my friends. And when I call them my friends, I trust them to use my things as carefully as they would their own. So yes I would give most of my things if my friend needs.

You just have to accept the fact that not people are like you. I admit that we have the same feeling somehow towards this issue but I learned to deal with it because you will actually realize later on that you don't have a choice. You will meet these people weeks after weeks, days after days, and so on. We can't get everything we like anyway.

Yes,I will do if my friend want to borrow it,I am sure I will borrow it if it is not impportant,if it is important,I will consider it.Best wishes.

depends what item it is and who the person was. if it was a reliable friend i wouldn't mind but if it wasn't i will definitely hesitate and most probably wouldn't give it.

I hate lending especially personal things. They should only borrow something that they can return with the same and equal condition. Money is a good example. But also I am very particular in lending money. I only lend when my friend is a good payer. When I am not sure I am hesitant. I will just suggest to him to borrow from others. When it comes to personal things, laptop, cellphone, jewelries and others, I think we should not lend those things to friends. We can only lend them to family or relatives but with strict rule of taking care of those things. Books are some of the things I tried lending with my classmates and friends way back college days. But they were never taken care the way I want them to be. So I guess it is just fair to be strict in lending or better never lend if you are not sure of the lenders attitude towards things.

it depends on what kind of thing that friend will borrow from me and how she is with borrowing things. because for sure i would know how he/she takes care of my things from previous borrowing. if it is something really valuable i would just decline and tell him/her i cant let it be borrowed because i always use it all the time, or simply, i'll just tell her it's to valuable to pass around and i would hate it having scratched or something. i am a good keeper of my things, and i have had experiences of friends borrowing my things and not returning it at the proper time, or breaking it or not returning it all. sometimes those that they break they do not even pay me back. those experiences have made me very careful on letting friends borrow my things. if i know he/she can take care of it very well and can pay me back if something happens to it, then i'll give it. but if that friend has a bad record to me, i will not give it.

Well it depends what he's going to borrow... I can freely lend money coz it can be replaced and earned but I will never lend my laptop and my wacom tablet to anyone. I hate it when they unknowingly visit sites that contains virus and i'll be left formatting it in the end and scanning all the files the whole day... Personal things are not supposed to be lent to anyone even your family coz its yours. I also don't lend my art materials coz I take care of it with my whole heart. I don't lend academic/computer books either coz I don't want to find each page being fold for a bookmark.

i have lots of friend but my best friend is jaswant and i know very well he is very good. if he need some things for me so diffinately i will give him.

it depends on the level of friendship,for those keepers I usually lend them, well anyway i don't have that much valuable things so it's ok for me hehe

In fact, I think if the one who wants to borrow my thing is a good friend of mine, i will lend it to him or her. And if my friend is a careless person, i will remind him or her to take care of my thing. As for me, I don't like to borrow things from others unless i can't offer that thing. I prefer to buy one so that i use it freely and never worry about making it broken down.

simple things wouldn't be that hard to lend but other than that, it's pretty difficult to entrust it to anybody else... ^_^

There was a time when I would let people borrow my things. But since I either didn't get my stuff back, or when I got it back it was obvious that they didn't take care of it, those days are over. Now, although I wish that I could feel secure in lending things to my friends, I don't. Instead of coming right out an saying "no," I will make up a believable excuse. Now, if it is one of my parents, I will give it to them.

It will depend on what thing that he or she wants to borrow from me. An expensive things are really hard for us to say yes when someone borrows it. But it will also depend on how long will that thing stays on his or her side and if she or he needs the thing badly.

It's irritating when someone doesn't value your thing while borrowing. I always used to give anything that my friends asked. I find hard saying "NO" to anyone. But one day i found out that my laptop stopped working while a friend was using it. Maybe it was her fault or maybe my laptop decided to give up her ghost. Anyways it was really bugging and i had to repair it costing a huge amount because my warranty was over.. Since then i never give anything valuable to anyone even if its my closest friend.

I always let my friends borrow my things before. But now I don't let them borrow anymore because they usually don't return my things. Sometimes, I will just invent an excuse so that they won't be able to borrow my things. In the past, if they do return my things, my stuff are usually damaged. To add, they return my things only if I am already pestering them to return it. If I don't ask for it, they don't return it and they always say they "forgot".

If one friend wants to borrow something from me, as far as I dont need it at that moment, I see no excuses to refuse the request. I like to help my friends, it makes me feel connected to them.
