I will never respond to messages asking to borrow money again. Yesterday, an old classmate suddenly messaged me, saying he urgently needed some money to tide him over (it wasn’t a large amount). Since it was late at night and I had already turned off the lights to rest, I just replied simply: I’ll transfer it to you tomorrow morning.

I didn’t expect that when I woke up the next morning, I saw he had sent several messages urging me and pressing for a response, with a tone that completely lacked boundaries, basically saying: Hurry up and transfer it, I need it urgently, we’re bros.

Thinking about it, it’s been almost ten years since graduation, and we’ve gone from being close friends to barely staying in touch. We haven’t even met up a few times. After seeing his replies, I just chose not to respond to him anymore.
