The mannerisms, speach, personality, it all seems a show 99% of the time. I identify better with people that have issues, not that I have any right now, but I have dealt with some major BS in my life.

The difference is that some of them feel that they have to be better than everyone else, higher expectations or just plain spoiled, I don't know. I can tell you that from my experiences that sometimes you don't even know what they truly think of you until they are in a social setting. I have had friends like that, when we were one on one or at a small gathering it was OK to be seen with my kind and then when they got together with their well to do friends I was treated like an outcast. It had a limited impact on my choice of friends, or should I say I didn't pursue friendships with people that thought they were better than me. Your right it is fake and if the belittling starts it is best just to walk away. I may have grown up very poor but my parents did teach me how to treat others and that is with respect first. If you can't respect your company the whole process is a waste of time. There were a lot of great people born from poor families. We need to make sure that future generations believe this even if the odds are against them.

Mainly because there full of themselves. They think just because they have a lot of money they can just do anything, boss anyone around, buy any car etc. They just don't do things for themselves because they have servants to do it for them, but when it comes down to it and they have to do things of their own they have no idea what to do. If anyone saw the show on vh1 when they get some rich people and they had to do their clothes at the laundromat...this stuck up girl tried to put a dollar in the quarter slot and wonder why it wasn't taken her money. Whoever goes to the laundromat you know what I'm talking about. Its sad when wealthy people look down on poor people if you will...just because they have all the money they think they can get out of any situation with money....let them be in a saw movie....lol then they will learn. lol

I`m sorry to say that you have prejudice against that group of people. Now, be calm and try to understand the matter. First, we were born from a tradition and were brought up to think alike. Second, variety is part of changing world. What you see is not what you feel. Now let me tell you that you must try to train yourself and become more tolerable. Accept the differences between things so that we can see life better and one day we can transform into another kind and we still do better for life. It seems to me that it is the rule of our civilization.

The people you're talking about care too much about social status, material things and what other people think of them. That is why they are putting on a show - to impress upon people that these external things somehow make them superior.
They don't. You'll find that these types of people won't be able to cope if they lose their wealth.
Do you think anyone would talk to trump if he weren't rich? No, he'd just be a creepy old guy with a comb-over!

peoples' tools, in life, are dictated by their environment.
etiquette: the conduct or procedure required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be observed in social or official life.
some people have the ability to display this diplomacy and tact with very good result because they probably had good teachers. you have probably run into more of the people who are learning because they've only recently had reason to learn.
it's been said that "there ain't nothin' like the real thing baby".

They are shallow and think that they are better. I prefer to be as I am, I can stop where ever I want to have a beer or to eat something and I can sleep at night without the worries these "people" have.

I think we accept wierdness in poorer people. We expect rich people to look and act perfect. That's just not possible 100% of the time. They also try to live up to unrealistic levels of behavior.

Believe me, we're the most DYSFUNCTIONAL people I know!! We're not perfect. I'd given anything for parents who were home for me, who didn't 'pay' me to go away, who just hugged me once in awhile. Why I think I cant seem to maintain anything meaningful. Pathetic huh??

I think its just you. Some of my friends parents are multi-millionaires and I didn't know it for years. I found out that one them was rich when I picked her up from her parents 12.3 million dollar home. It's cool how down to earth she is.

Because you're not accustomed to the care free easy lifestyle they are used to, you don't believe anyone can really be like that. You see it as fake.
