i do agree with freedom2012 sometimes letting go is the best thing one can do. I usually end up giving damn about them. if they dont care enough to stick to their words, why should you bother being friends with them.  one of my fren asked me  to lend him some money. He was supposed to give me back the money in one month. But it's been more than three years and he hasn't paid me back. i asked him few times to pay me back . But he didn't and after that i felt awkward and uneasy asking him for the money. I felt like i was begging somebody to give me back my own money. few months ago he told me that he was very sick and to lend him some money. i simply told him that he hasnt paid my money back so i am not giving him any money at all. No more sympathy for people who don't care to stick to their words. thank god none of my very good friends have asked me for money, neither do i.  If you worry too much it might lead you to a depression and more. So the best thing is to say you are out of money, everytime someone asks you for it.
