What do you do when you meet people who are financially or economically in a better position than you? Let us all be honest here.. we sometimes compare ourselves to our peers and see if they are doing better than us. There are times where, whether it is good or not, we can tell they are doing better in life. Of course we do not know their struggles but we know that financially they are quite more comfortable than you.
In that case, should you try to fake your own situation as to not get pity or should you be honest? When I encounter people who are financially ahead than me I just think that it will be me someday... That I will reach that level too where I would be able to buy whatever they can. So basically I try to make them my inspiration. Do you take inspiration from the rich people or do they make you feel worse?
As a person the faster you outgrow people's opinions a out you and your life the better for you. Because who pays your bills? Who knows what you are passing through? How you struggle on your own to make ends meet? Definitely nobody do why should you now bother about people's opinion about your life? Life is too short to fake it because of other people's opinions or feelings. Take your time and take care of yourself how you can afford it not minding what people would really say about you. Stop living in other people's opinions but your own opinion and life principles. In that case, should you try to fake your own situation as to not get pity or should you be honest?
