So tired of dealing with clueless rich people. It’s so frustrating especially as my friends seem to get wealthier and more and more out of touch

as someone who grew up with money, gratitude and humility are so important. You don’t deserve to feel less than them, and you they don’t get to be out of touch just because they can be

Also want to add: I am incredibly blessed for how I grew up, but I understand how hard my parents worked for it, and I understand that it’s not mine, it’s theirs. There’s no pride to take the money that I am given, because I didn’t earn it, but that doesn’t mean I’m not grateful for it. This should be the mentality that they have.

Yeah most of them are recently wealthy having majored in business and having high profile jobs. I have an art degree so money is much more scarce

have they treated you differently since they’ve been making money? Sometimes people get so excited about it They let it go to their head.

Sorta they give poor advice to me and their empathy for my poor finances is lacking. They have new other wealthy friends they rather spend more time with who they can relate to a lot better. I can’t afford the expensive get aways and such they do

have you tried talking to them about it? On the one hand, they could just be letting it go to their head because they’re excited, on the other hand, they could just be emotionally immature, and only focused on their needs and feelings

I’m scared too as I don’t want to look insecure and mean. I’m not sure how to word it properly

you wouldn’t be insecure or mean! If I was your friend, I would definitely wanna know! And regardless, you can stick up for yourself in a kind way that explains how they make you feel instead of accusing them of anything. If you wanna call them out 100%, go for it, but you can do it in a way that feels comfortable! You could also type out what you wanna say, and have AI polish it for you

I just called someone out for emotional abuse, and I focused on how it made me feel, and I spoke from a place of calmness and clarity, not really emotion, and it got through to them! Do what feels right in your gut, not what feels possible with your anxiety
