he's gettin some shit for the rich part but if you can put aside the jealousy this is a cool thread (often we think our lives would be better if circumstances changed, and sometimes that's true but often our own mind just keeps following us)

a few days ago i took a medium dose of acid and wrote for several hours straight and admitted some things to myself, mostly about money let's start here: last august my mom gave me $100,000 for my birthday. i resented her for this and also suppressed the resentment

also I wanna say I'm impressed at talking so openly at a privileged thing that's inevitably gonna piss people off, that's hard man and why you almost never see rich people processing their feelings around it in front of others

Oh yeah this rich failson is so brave for talking about his insecurities on Twitter lol

Replying to

yes, he is. he did it despite the intensity of public backlash that exists to it; when was the last time you were publicly honest about something that would generate so much hatred?

Replying to

an interesting observation that someone made, that I think is true, is that people would be less mad at QC if he spent the money partying. His offense is having feelings and talking about them publicly

Ferrari good, feelings bad

Thanks for finding and sharing this thread, you're right it's a rare gem of perhaps the most taboo honesty someone can post publicly

Replying to

Were you the one who said everyone finds a way to suffer the same regardless of privilege? This is a good example.

this was my reaction, but I was unsure how to say it without sounding patronizing.

Replying to

It's interesting how people dehumanise rich people. Too much of this attitude that someone's financial status, skin colour, sex or orientation makes them less worthy of respect. It's the same old shit in reverse. We're all just humans living this mad life at this time together.
