I share my things I am not a stingy person. I think being stingy is not nice and is rude. It shows no good personality of a person at all. When a person is stingy it brings out how rotten they can be. I don't want people to see me as a rotten person. I want people to see me as a carting, giving, loving and a very sharing person. I want to show the good in myself and share. Being stingy gets you know where in life. You can also lose alot of friends by being stingy and not nice.

Many times. You know. I am not pro to stingy person. I would say I was and am stingy. You know what the good thing being stingy, you know exactly well how to spend your money. I do have different perception of the word stingy. People understand that the stingy person would not want to pay the money he or she borrowed. I am stingy, but I always returned the money that I had always borrowed. The stingy person according to me is the person that does not want to lend not just money but also her or his things. I would lent my money if her or his condition was more worse than me, but I would ever lent my money if she or he stay or live the same way as I do. I have a lot of stuff, my friend never thought twice to borrow my things, they used whatever or whenever they like and I never forbade to use my things. They are working and getting the same money. Why didn't they buy thing that they want to use or have, why they put burden on other shoulders. Why. They work and they are paid. They never even think to buy something that they really need, but they wanted it from the other. How stupid. That's stingy and I was not like them. I bought my thing and everyone uses for their own good. Once in a while, I was angry because they never understood me. I was angry so that they knew what I was angry for. Now, my stuff was getting nearly broken and they never felt sorry for my broken. It doesn't mean I am stingy if I don't allow someone to use my things. The point is so that we know how to spend our money. So buy thing you that is important for you and never spend on anything that you didn't really need. Thank you

When it comes to stuff, I do like to share. If somebody asks, I don't mind sharing. If I could help out a friend, I would. And I wouldn't expect anything from it. But..... When it comes to money, I don't have to hear that I am stingy, because I know that I am! This has come to a many arguments in the house. It's just hard to share or spend money, when there is not much to go around.

It's not very fun to be called stingy. I too consider myself a very caring person, and love to share all my things. However, a couple nights ago one of my friends had a few too many drinks, and was crashing on my couch. He asked if he could use my laptop to listen to some music, but I didn't really trust him. He was a little too drunk for me to let him handle my expensive equipment. He called me stingy, and I felt pretty bad.
