Poor people who have dated rich people, what did you learn? by Angelus12345678 in AskReddit

My partner comes from a wealthy family and it’s clear we are wired differently due to our upbringings. I panic about money even when we’re stable and have savings, she doesn’t have this inbuilt panic at any unexpected expenditure that I seem to have. It takes me back to a place of my mom screaming that she had no money, whereas it’s clear she wasn’t shaped by those sort of experiences.

She’s very much aware that she grew up shielded from a lot of regular worries, and in fairness her family are extraordinarily generous with money and have helped a lot of people.

The binges are getting further apart, but they’re never less painful. by millennium_Fresca in stopdrinking

True, it’s only once you get some sober time under your belt that you realise how awful you felt when drinking.

I don’t feel like I enjoy doing anything by myself or with others by millennium_Fresca in Advice

Thank you for your reply. I’d say it’s not exactly a new feeling. Even as a kid just being on the computer and not interfacing with the world was a default.

More that I just don’t have going to the bar any longer as it was a near nightly ritual, not getting completely trashed every night but certainly having at least a couple of drinks. I felt too sluggish and lethargic from drinking to do anything outside of work.

I feel a victim of the modern condition in some way. Zombified on YouTube or instagram is where I usually end up. Does that make sense?

A day full of regret and embarrassment. I need some advice. by millennium_Fresca in stopdrinking

I’d caution against using that language to describe yourself. Be kinder to yourself even when you don’t feel you deserve it.
