Many people give...,

[Silverobama]

I want to express that "There are many beggars in my city. They are used to getting money from some regular donors. And one day these donors no longer give them money, these beggars would be mad at them because they are already accustomed to getting from those donors and this makes them donors seem guilty because they don't give money". The purpose of the sentence is to express the irony of the act of giving money as a way to help others but later turns out to be something makes oneself look guilty.

Is my italic sentence good to express the idea?

Many people give beggars money out of kindness. But once the beggars are accustomed to accepting donors' money, it would be sinful if the donors no longer do so.

Note my corrections above comments above. I don't really understand the main concept. What exactly "makes the donors seem guilty"? To whom do they seem guilty? Do you mean that the ex-donors feel guilty?

What exactly "makes the donors seem guilty"?

If donors don't give money to beggars anymore.

To whom do they seem guilty?

To the beggars who receive the money from donors.

Do you mean that the ex-donors feel guilty?

Actually I also think the concept is a bit off. But such things happen here very often.

Let's say someone walks by a footbridge every day and gives the beggar (who asks for money) on the bridge money, may be one yuan each time. And he/she does this regularly, perhaps twice a week. And if one day he/she forgets this, the beggar will be mad at them because the beggar doesn't get the money. The beggar thinks that they are supposed to give money. So, this makes the donor look guilty but actually the donor shouldn't take the blame, it's just the beggar's mindset. I don't know how to express the idea naturally. How about:

People often give to beggars out of kindness but when beggars become used to receiving money, it can make people feel guilty for not giving — even though they’re not truly obligated to do so.

Edited: correct the mistakes.

I think the main problem here is your use of "guilty". It doesn't work in this context. You can be guilty of a crime. You can feel guilty about not giving money to homeless people. You don't look guilty of anything if you used to give money to them regularly but then stop.

In the quote box in post #2, did you not notice that I noted "no full stop here" and changed "But" to "but"? I'm sure I've done this on your posts before and explained that we discourage all learners from trying to start sentences with "but". However, in post #3, you did it again - twice! Use "but" as a conjunction.

Oops, I'm sorry. I did notice your "no full stop here" and "no quotation marks here", I forgot to take a look at the new sentence. I've already corrected the mistakes in that post. And after reading your posts in #3 and #4. I wrote a new sentence. Is it natural now?

There’s a strange phenomenon: once people get into the habit of giving a little money to beggars every time people see beggars, if one day people forget, beggars can become rather irritated. Turning what was a simple act of kindness into a perceived duty.

There’s I've noticed a strange phenomenon: once people get into the habit of giving a little money to beggars every time people see beggars they see them, if but one day people they forget [to donate], the beggars can become rather irritated, turning what was a simple act of kindness into a perceived duty.

See above. Much like "but", don't (as a learner) try to start sentences with "and". Use it as a conjunction.

They probably feel bad (which is not as bad a feeling guilty) for stopping to donate money to beggars who see it as an entitlement.
