I feel this is a defensive mechanism against guilt. Those well off feel guilty about not helping their "friends" who are struggling.
Although this ostracization goes both ways, seeing someone talk off handedly about losing more money than your family has seen in a decade doesn't make one feel good or wish to interact with them in the future.
- bingidingi 5y agoYeah maybe... it's just exhausting. It feels like there are so many presumptions about how someone is because of what they make or where they live that you don't even have a chance to befriend people who might be in a different economic class. Once you start tying those economic presumptions to race as well, "never eat alone" feels like an impossibility.
