--- Quote from: Loki on 27 Jul 2014, 22:55 ---I deal less well with rejection because I was *not* the kid who got anything he wanted - money was always tight.
Nowadays, I think I tend to latch onto people I vaguely find positive and am hurt when they don't fulfill the sometimes impossible expectations I put into them.
Just saying, it can go both ways.
--- End quote ---
I had a similar upbringing, but the results were kind of different. Rejection doesn't phase me much. But unfairness and inequality (from a somewhat selfish and possibly crazy point of view) fuck my shit up to no end.
Still, I would hate Sven as a person.
Neko_Ali:
It appears my clue by four didn't work on Sven. Time to upgrade my hardware. *starts driving nails into the board*
hedgie:
Told 'ya

I knew a kid who got everything he asked for every Christmas. I discovered this around the third grade, when a week or so before Christmas he started listing all the presents he was going to get. I asked him, "How do you know you're getting all that?" And his answer was, "Because I asked for them!" This was so foreign to my experience that I literally couldn't understand what he was saying at first - I was the fifth of six kids and not from a rich family, so I was lucky to get one or two things from my list. And the idea that I didn't get everything I asked for was incomprehensible to this kid. We lived in different worlds.
This may have contributed just a bit to my intolerance for privileged assholes who think they are victims.
Thrillho:
I actually have more annoyance for people who have money and are then resentful that they aren't working class. I have a friend who was having MAJOR middle class guilt just because he'd had some money left him by an uncle or something and felt like he couldn't properly be our friends. He thought we'd think he was an asshole for having money.
Truth is, we thought he was an asshole because of how he was handling having that money.
