Anyone else in the forum from a wealthy background with aloof parents?

i don’t know if i think i’m better than others or not
i get so scared that it really looks like i am a fukc head

Well, go buy some normal clothes. I don’t see why people need to flash their wealth with clothes.

I often mix it up with charity shop normal clothes but it always ends up wrong
I end up looking like paddington bear or a lesbian
if i wear normal clothes i’d try to strut and then realise i have nothing and then realise my spirit is nothing etc
i would choose the wrong stuff
people around where i am in the uk follow fashion weekly in primark
that is honestly worse than the £300 pair of trousers made in italy
i have no fashion sense

have you seen advertising ?

i feel so nothing that my clothes is all i’m worth and i’m not worthy of the clothes
because everything i have is too small for me

or at least that is my main modus operandi

Sounds like you’re having an identity crisis.

I am i have been isolated
only seeing 3 people = my mum who was hit by a car in front of me 9 months ago and can hardly walk
and is carer to my sister who has just been ruled after 5 years of suicidal psychotic abusive daily drunk in a darkened room as unfit to stand trial and will be seeing a psychiatrist
and my husband who works all the time

just trying to get courage to speak to people in a new situation

That’s it thanks i have identified it sorry
‘first day of a new school’

just can’t even look at people at the minute without freaking out

what do you mean identity crisis?

Being misanthropic like that is nihilistic. If people like that had their way, they’d literally cull everyone, without stopping at 99% That belief is the depth of insanity.

He’s still just human, regardless of how much rhetoric he fluffs his ego up with. The money doesn’t go with him to the “other side,” either (if he even believes in that.)

Check out the “Georgia Guidestones”, that’s kind of in line what the elite think of us (I won’t post what it says, too triggering.)

There is one thing that really bugs me as well
he has a lot of shares - earnings of which he uses as his income
really when he dies and if my mother is gone i will come in to a trust fund of about £1000 a month for life
that is likely as long as i guess the world doesn’t end
there are some unethical choices of whom he has given money to invest in their companies
I might not have a say in how i get the money like i think i can’t sell all of it and have the money and keep it vegan / world / equality friendly
this should probably go 50:50 to a charity
maybe i can set up as a partner in a soup kitchen instead of a partner in pwc

now put that person who is elite funnel it all into a child
who can’t do anything fully functional/mental illness other than hang with people a lot less well off
and you got me
like i said = pariah

You seem to be well off, and you have a heart, so don’t worry too hard.

I dont know if having a heart is enough if alll i can do is shop cook and once a week socialise for an hour and walk mums dog
More than that makes me panic

I grew up low class, but in high school my mom married a rich guy and I went to school in a rich neighborhood. I didn’t fit in at all. I had friends, but I was often mistreated and used. Peoples parents would ask what my parents did for a living and would then inform me of my lower class status as if I didn’t already know. Now I live in a neighborhood of lower class people who assume I’m rich. I’m not. Not at all. Neighbors come to our door asking for money on a regular basis. We are constantly in debt. So I don’t know where they get that from. It’s so crazy. I wear clothes from the Salvation Army (thrift store) like everyone else, so I don’t know how I end up looking rich. It’s so frustrating.

That seems to be what I do
I go on courses or retreats etc
Its all rich recovery
The stuff like Buddhist meditation weeks they can still be £300 for a week
Or a £200 ceramics evening course

That is totally insane
But you sound able to explain it So reasonably
You sound very straightforward so that must help?
I think you have probably had too much of the worst of both worlds

I guess I am to the point. I’m definitely straight forward. I’m going to have to talk to these people coming and asking for money. I just honestly tell them I don’t have it, or I don’t answer the door if it’s a man. I just need to talk to them I guess.

it’s difficult to explain it you must give some kind private school vibe
it sounds frustrating

tell them you are in debt up to the eyeballs, i don’t get why they come to your door?
door to door begging is that a thing where you are??

I don’t understand this thread,

It does sound like you think you’re better than everyone else,

Because of your parents money.

Do you work or just live off them and their money?
