Overthinking

Dont automatically assume ahe's waiting for a bus and would love a ride. She may be waiting for her boyfriend, parents, uber, drug dealer or something else

She or a friend may have have experienced a kidnapping, sexual assault, robbery, or something else one time they accepted a ride from a stranger

She may just not be trusting of strangers who offer rides.

Dont automatically assume it has to do with you when someone turns down a ride

I almost choked to death eating tough fajita meat. I know nothing of Heimlich maneuver but started pounding the crap out of my chest and it finally dislodged. I wish I knew about this stuff sooner. now I get anxiety eating meat and am terrified when my toddler eats since she has chewing issues. Even though I’m alive I feel that experience has permanently scarred me.

It's most likely designed with learning in mind. If you're getting a lot of wrong answers, maybe your brain needs a break. It also could be showing you shouldn't be advancing to the next stage.

When it comes to learning, your brain makes a lot of connections overnight. And if you overdo the learning, you won't remember a lot of it anyways. I've never had issues with not being able to proceed, but I also do two lessons over and over until I feel I understand it well enough to proceed since repition is a good way to establish the connections in your brain.

European guy here. I started with a $ 500,- car 25 years ago. And saved money to trade in for a bigger car every couple of years. Now I buy a $ 40.000,- car and never had a loan or pay interest. Worked for me!

Keeping my answer short, you can only ever be responsible for the decisions you make and the actions you take.

If you have the ability and willingness to help someone out, I personally don't see why offering would ever be a bad idea.

Great tip. My parents had a new car every 4 years (2 - 1 each) and never paid them off. I’m disgusted to think what that cost their retirement but won’t be me.
