I did left a comment but I eventually deleted it.
Its better not to delete your comments as it would help me understand, and in that case i could help you better!
For now... Look, i have a very weird theory of things. I dont believe in peoples' (and mine) worth, etc. Its a bit hard to explain how on one hand i dont accept these ideas of, say "common wisdom" and on the other i dont suffer, like many people do.
What I most identify with is not having (... Well... Not having *enough*) friends. The limiting factor seems to be that of intelligence. To befriend someone closely, i need them to demonstrate their intelligence to me, usually through a conversation which absolutely requires that. I dont know if that helps?
You also seem to worry about a bunch of stuff that need no worry. I dont care about how rich someone is (i would worry if someone is too poor, but thats a different story), what i care about is the other person being able to exercise their critical though and so on. I dont assign some kind of morality to people based on their bank accounts or pockets! I think you once had a traumatic experience that made you uncomfortable with the idea of being presented as a rich person? (regardless if you are or not) Have you talked to a psychologist about that?
