I just ran into someone who I went to school with (~3 years younger than me), whose family I used to know…
They’re very rich (definitely 1%ers), and extremely degenerate…
Her brother is now a tranny. Her father is an androgynous weirdo, and both of her parents are constantly high on designer drugs, every time I run into them (usually at concerts or music festivals, being obnoxious).
This girl… Tells me she has just bought a house. In one of the most expensive houses in my hometown. We’re talking $2M+, average…
So I ask her what she is doing.
“Oh, I’m a professional content creator now. I specialize in TikTok.”
This girl is ugly as fuck, overweight, and probably autistic (think Luna from Harry Potter, but uglier and less endearing). She’s also half-Asian.
I saw a program last night of another TikTok “content creator” in Ireland who was doing up a family mansion, for a few million…
How the fuck is this where we’re at, as a society?
Sure, “bank of Mum and Dad” and all that, but fuck…
Just makes me more depressed and frustrated, tbh…
Maybe. I think that’s an easy perspective to have when you’re not scrounging, but when you are, without stable long-term employment (most of my work is contract based), or like, even knowing whether you’ll be able to afford rent in a month’s time, it just… That doesn’t quite hold true.
But hey, what do I know. Maybe I should just struggle harder..?
Look, I’m being facetious here. Of course mindset is important.
But you’re also underestimating quite what it’s like without even the basics, I think.
Hah, been there.
This.
If I don't get a raise within the first year working somewhere, I move on. If OP is contract, it sounds like he should be spreading a wider net and/or increasing his rates; it's easy to fall into the trap of undervalueing yourself, especially when self-employed.
OP, how crazy would it be if you should actually be doing well right now but aren't because you aren't charging what you're worth? Because you undervalue yourself (as reflected in your posts)? It could literally be that simple.
He's not saying, "She's rich, you're poor, why do you care so much?"
You know your situation. You don't know jack shit about hers. I've never met a wealthy individual who had a good relationship with themselves, their family, and God.
You're getting bent out of shape over the appearance of her life. If the tiktoks aren't real, what makes you think the tiktokker is?
