I'm quite open about my poverty. People literally do not want to hear it.
- skinkestek 5y agoas someone who is always happy to see your comments: you are interested to me, not because you are poor but because of what you achieve while being poor. (And if I could choose I'd rather w7sh you were not poor.)
- DoreenMichele 5y agoYeah, I'm a nega-millionaire. The millions my little family should have spent on medical care and didn't is, on the one hand, better than the path I should have been doomed to. On the other hand, I still can't pay my bills and the absence of millions of dollars worth of medical care and an early death falls under "absence of evidence" or some garbage. It does nothing to give me credibility. It's a nice little headfuck that has one silver lining: I am not impressed by anyone's net worth. Period. End of sentence.
- imtringued 5y agoIf that net worth consists of land it isn't worthy of praise at all until it is taxed according to its monopoly power. The Germans would say "Ownership has its responsibilities".
- CozyBearNotSoy 5y agoI experience this as well. I try to balance the good with the bad, but any talk at all of life's struggles is just "too much negativity" for many people.
- meiraleal 5y agoWhy would someone *WANT* to hear it? People that care about you might want to hear if it comforts you, but random people? What would it be, an advice? or to give you an advice? (most) people like to hear and share good stories. The bad ones we share with friends at maximum. Because they might really care about it.
