I'm almost 16, and I am known where I live for being the daughter of two very, well.. let's say powerful people in the city. I have a lot of close friends but when I meet new people and they know who I am, they seem turned off by me. I admit, my family has money and it's nice and all, but embarrasing. So, if you knew that my parents were two huge business attorneys in the city and you met me, what would you think of me? I'm not superficial or egotistical, but I'm not shy about who I am. Help, please!

I wouldn't think anything of it, I don't judge people by who their parents are or what their parents do for a living. Mom and Dad arn't the ones I am starting a friendship with. Those who do judge you for those reasons are shallow and should be ashamed of themselves for not giving you a chance and the benefit of a doubt.

You say you are not superficial or egotistical, but something is turning people off, so maybe you need to step back and look at yourself and see what everyone else sees. Some times we never see the forest for the trees, so really take a look. You might be surprised at what you see, and want to change it. You might be coming on to strong, and turning people off.

What people think of you at first glance is not important. Whether the other person makes you comfortable and happy is more important. You meet people in your wavelength when you are engaged in activities that make you most happy. So choose such activities and give yourself a chance to meet more people who do not turn you off and who do not turn their back on you. I am sure there are so many of them around who will adore you for "what you are" rather than for "what you have". You don't have to be shy of anything and try to develop a good personality by engaging in community service and making good friends. My first impression is that you are a good person who is ready to learn a lot in life. Good luck.

Maybe because they think u r pretty stuck up and u shouldn't brag alot about Ur parents wealth because it might bring those other ppl down. But personally i wouldn't care who ur parents are because im ur friend not ur parents so if u r a cool person and not stuck up then everything will work out but just don't brag alot about ur wealth.and if you have close friends that will have your back don't worry about what new ppl think about u just don't lose the image of who u r

i would think that you were superficial, egotistical, and rude.
i'm just being honest, everybody comes with a first impression, it our job to let others know who we really are, by our actions, and the way we talked to others.
