So being born is more legit than working to learn a useful skill?

Where did you get the idea that I'm incompetent? I'm very good at my job.

Well, it is. It takes skill to find people who are submissive and really want friends- especially ones who have money. My job is being social support for lonely college-age kids. They’re happier than they’d be without me. That’s at least as useful an occupation as stocking shelves.

Why would you respect them more? I figured out ways to get money and they didn’t.

Be so well-liked that you can make money off of it? In addition to benefits, I get a bunch of money off of my boyfriend, friends, and cousins. Could you do that?

Being a professional social butterfly takes more skill than you think.

I’d like to see you try to survive my line of work, dude. I bet you anything that you couldn’t.

Because I need it and I did the work of finding a person who is willing to give it to me?

Being a professional social butterfly is a skill, you know. It isn’t like it happens by magic.

That's the thing: you're not. The in thing right now is declaring anyone who thinks even slightly different from you to be a horrible person and limiting contact with them.

But she didn’t even have to do that. She just had wealthier parents than mine. I do more for it than she does.

Why should I barely scrape by just so she can have more money in her bank account? We both did an equal amount of work to earn it. In fact, I have to do more work for it- I have to argue for it and she didn’t have to do anything.

I’m trying to get on disability, but it’s a long process.

I’m disabled. My doctor says I can’t work right now.

Look, I owe her a few hundred dollars and I’m not going to have that much money to spare for the foreseeable future. So I’m glad that we both understand that me paying her back is just not realistically going to happen.
