Everyone hates me because I’m rich?

[Anonymous]

Everyone in college class hates me because I’m rich and wear designer goods, any arrive on how to make friends?

[Effably]

I mean... You already made the reason that you lack friends about you being rich as opposed to you lacking certain social skills and experiences - Which you evidently know you do because here you are (wisely) asking for advice. With just this you probably made half the readers dislike you instead of wanting to help you. This is social incompetence, not a demerit of being rich. Me saying this is being helpful, not being a big meanie.

So step one: Change that silly notion. Wealth in and of itself does not usually make anyone dislike you.
Step two: Allow yourself to figure out the real reason you have trouble. It isn't clothes and money.
Step three: Improve the real flaw and see it as a work in progress, it doesn't require immediate success.

How did you become rich?

If you aren't rich, then your parents are, then you should be at USC or something with a lot of your kind. Or did your parents miss the opportunity to buy a space?

I am NHNW. My every day clothes come from Walmart. My everyday business clothes come from JCPenny. My suits come from Nordstrom. No one has any idea how much I am worth until I start talking (It is funny to watch someone start to realize it) or they see me get into one particular car of mine or into my airplane.

I own a business that teaches classes to student, i no longer run it but am a major shareholder. That how I made my money

[WalterRadio]

Good for you.

You will have to get used to how envious ordinary people can be.

When I was in junior high, I was scolded because I was so intelligent that I made adults feel stupid around me. I had to learn to mind my vocabulary and not go deep into a subject, pretending I didn't know as much about it as I did. By not making adults feel stupid around a kid, they were more accepting.

Wealthy people have a similar issue as highly intelligent people and the lesson is the same. Blend in.

There is even a term for it, "Grey man", and being the grey man can save your life, or at least reduce the chance you will be a crime victim. Your school mates are jealous, but a criminal sees you as an opportunity.

Dress down to blend in with everyone else. Don't stand out. You can have your nice things, travel the world, and have financial security, but keep those private within your inner circle of friends who accept you for who you are and are happy for you.

The first thing you need to understand is that you’re the only person that thinks money and wearing designer clothes is a barrier to making friends. And I’m 99% sure you’re reaction is gonna be “yeah but...”
And my response to that is going to be that you only are looking from your perspective. The vast majority of people aren’t concerned with your clothes and money.

[WalterRadio]

You speak like someone who doesn't have enough money to have it happen to.

He is is correct because for so many people, the green glare of jealousy clouds their eyesight.

@WalterRadio lmao ok.

[TheLockofaHeather]

I’ve had a similar experience. I’ve learned to try to avoid talking about going to private school, or vacation homes, and international travels. Also only use one car. People usually don’t pay in full, so they have car payments and house payments. Don’t mention that your college is payed for.

No one hates you because you're rich. They might hate you for being a self-centered smug what actually is true for most rich people. If you actually want friends who care about you and not about you money you should stop placing so much value on the concept of being rich.

[WalterRadio]

You are wrong. There is a great hatred for people who are rich because rich people remind the haters that they are inferior.

[jeemm]

@WalterRadio If that's the case it doesn't apply to me and I was giving advice based on my personal experience. My bad.

[WalterRadio]

I just looked up some income stats on Finland

You probably don't know very many rich people, if any.

There are not very many countries in the world where anyone with the right idea, hard work, and plan can go from poor to very rich, but the US is one of those places. As a consequence, there are over 12 million millionaires in the US.

But the average person is unwilling to make the sacrifice and put in the hard work to become rich, and most of them become jealous of those who did.

[jeemm]

@WalterRadio I do know some rich people but because their parents are rich they obviously will be too.

[Seket]

Find some casual clothes. Being rich doesn't mean you have to dress up like millionaires. A common plaid shirt over black t-shirt and jeans can never go out of style. Even the discounted items you can find in walmart won't kill you just from wearing it.

[Ganta2Igarashi]

How about you turn it down with the money limit your budget and don't let your money talk for you approach people and find some common ground there is always something you can talk to someone about and if not you start the conversation by asking him about his/her interests and Hobbys

[RolandCuthbert]

Haha!

[Philyouup]

I’d say your personality has more to do with that than your money. People don’t dislike people with money. People dislike people because a ton of other things.

[WalterRadio]

One of those tons of other things is they dislike people because they are jealous of them.

[veronica9898]

You shouldn't care, maybe they are gelous because they can't afford them, but if you like designer good continue to wear them. I like them too 😁

[zaharaa]

you're probably self centered and give off a cocky attitude like many rich guys

[andyaa]

Do you behave in a way you are better than them? if yes, I think it is the cause...

[Asker]

No not really but I wear designer good and have an expensive bag pack

[bangyourhead]

Maybe it’s not the designer goods?

[BeHappy1985]

This is bullshit... You suck ballz at trolling...
