I don’t look down on her, she’s pretty cool IMO and it isn’t a chore/charity to see her. I don’t have a small business or kids so I’m beaten there. My achievements etc are more to highlight the fact that it’s not and shouldn’t be weird for us to be friends, in this age of hyperoptimizing relationships for personal gain, though I see how it can come off. I’m also someone who posts on HN, so I kinda have to set the scene for why I’m here. Obviously if I was the local shopkeeper this whole story would be much more mundane.
