    Are you being polite to actually help?
    Or because you want a head pat?

    From my upbringing I’ve learned to stay far away from the latter.

    Editing to add context: When it comes to unhoused outreach the people in it for acknowledgement often become liabilities.

      I guess it’s some sort of moral hurdle someone needs to pass when they do nice things for you and you don’t acknowledge them.

        I personally do acknowledge them.

        I just think that you shouldn’t do it for the acknowledgement.
