A poor nice guy will have real friends. A rich nice guy will have real friends. A poor asshole will have no friends. A rich asshole will have fake friends that hide their hatred and contempt behind fake smiles.
So is the solution to stop being an asshole? Yes. But this is not an easy thing, because with fake friends you are not getting any feedback. You don't notice when you step people on the toes.
Maybe pretend to be poor until you have learned the lessons you need to learn.
- toyg 5y agoYou don't have to be an asshole to accumulate fake "interested" friends. You don't even have to be rich - these people are just looking for ways to abuse one's sincerity, it doesn't have to be for money - they could get free work out of you, or they could unload their problems on you. I reckon the problem is a bit more prominent for the rich simply because society currently values money above anything else, so a rich target will take precedence over a poor target.
