I'm generally a friendly person, though I'll have days where I don't want to be bothered. I always try to be nice to people regardless. I've been used before (long story), so I'm very careful about my money. I don't usually have much to spare folks... if any.
Instead, I donate to charities. That way I know the money is being used properly. I'm very picky about who I support as well. Because of my job, I know the people that run the local community programs... likes food pantries. Because one of them is a co-worker, I can get information cards from him. So I carry those with me in case I run into a needy person. Instead of giving them cash, I give them a card and tell them... go here, they'll make sure you get food and/or a place to stay.
My co-worker actually runs three local programs. Bread for Life, a food pantry, Room in the Inn, for homeless and Celebrate Recovery, for addicts. He and his wife are actually really nice people. They've been through their own crap, and have since turned their lives around. Because of that, they try to help others and are sincere about it. It's nice to see that.
Because of my past experiences, I'm a bit on the jaded side.... so I'm very skeptical, even though I want to help. The information cards help because it takes the pressure off of me, and gives the person resources to get back on their feet. If they need the help, they'll get it.

Some things within my control that I have made a regular part of my life:
1) Donate blood regularly. (I am fortunate to be able to do this. Some simply cannot.) 2) Stay generally positive. Most of life's everyday problems have a solution. They're not that bad as they may seem. Just need time to figure them out. 3) Be ready to make a friend. If you ask the question, "How ya doin'?" be ready to listen--good, bad, otherwise. Be ready to learn their story. ("Learn how their different, or the same." -- The Guantlet) 4) Practice treating people with respect, empathy, and compassion, and give them the benefit of the doubt, push comes to shove. Don't just judge or rush to judgment. 5) Give time to someone else, regularly. (at some point, be a Big Brother/Big Sister. -- Pilot) 6) Cherish true friendship. ("I don't take friendship lightly. It's too hard to come by." -- Ugly Duckling) 7) Smile. (every episode)
"I don't take friendship lightly. It's too hard to come by."
