How do you think people feel when they have to ask a friend to return a borrowed item?

So the first people often borrow a lot of things including a sum of money or non current assets. From my perspective, I think they borrow these things for a lot of reasons. On one hand, they may borrow these things because their needs on the other hand, they may borrow these things because of other’s needs. So that’s the reason they borrow these things. When it comes to advantage from borrowing, I think it should be when you borrow sth from someone if you keep honest you can keep the borrowed person your friend and keep contact with him continuously. When you come to the downsides of borrowing sth, it should be that if yo don’t keep honest and don’t return things you have borrowed to the borrow person, you’ll lose your trust. I don’t think there is any difference between borrowing a thing and a sum of money. As for the nature, they are the same. As or me, I think freinds usually return things they borrow from each other. That’s why we call them friends. Friends are a people who can help each other. They usually return things they borrow from each other. I think ppl may feel embarrassed when they have to ask a friend to return an item…
