    It REALLY depends how well you know each other.

    I’ve had a friend transfer me money when I said no, and my ego was wounded but I didn’t go hungry.

    I’ve also had people pick screaming fights on my behalf when I wanted defuse the situation, publicly blame others for a relapse I didn’t want publicized, and refuse me any privacy when I was depressed, constantly telling people that I was about to kill myself. 😐

    Notice I don’t call them friends anymore, just people. They didn’t know my situation well enough to know how to act on it, but they had to be heroes.
