    Well, if they don’t pay attention to me saying “let me know if you need any help,” then, again, they’re not a very good friend. I can’t help it if they don’t care enough about what I’ve told them to just ask me for help. If they asked me for money, again, I wouldn’t think “they need help.” I get that you would, but I wouldn’t.

    And sure, rich people can suffer from mental and emotional problems. They also can afford a therapist.

      I’m not sure what to say, it’s been pointed out that this is kind of like a cry for help, and you still insist on holding it against them. I guess we’re still squarely in the time if people seeing mental health issues as personality flaws.

          I wouldn’t have known that without reading this article, would I? Which was my point.

          I originally responded to you claiming it was “just shitty behavior.” Are you telling me you had read the article at that point?

            That is simply false. You originally responded to this comment:

            I’m glad that’s never happened to me. They wouldn’t be my friend anymore.

              Holy nit-pick, batman. I was one post off, but the timing remained the same and the question still exactly the same.

                  I literally asked you a question because your post made no sense in the context of having read the article first. And that is the equivalent to knowing what you are talking about. Lol

                    You asked a question that you answered yourself in the next sentence without my response. This is what you said:

                    The article talks about how this is not them being assholes, but because if they have more money then their peers, it tends to make them feel isolated and self-conscious and fears about being taken advantage of. They even quote the expert at the end who says “They don’t care about the $4.”

                    You would ditch a friend for struggling with someone? I find that hard to believe.

                    Now you’re upset about a response to your rhetorical question you didn’t like?

                    Incidentally, I never said anything about anyone being an asshole when you said that, this is what I said:

                    I’m glad that’s never happened to me. They wouldn’t be my friend anymore.

                    You can try being dishonest about a conversation everyone can see, but it won’t work very well.
