When you’re rich? My friends and family know I’m rich (big mistake) and now I’m wondering how to have a social life. Everything I do is scrutinized or glorified. People are extra insecure around me. Anything I say they think they need to “check my ego”, even if I’m just saying what I would have said years ago.
Kind of annoying desu. I dont think fundamentally you can have friends in this world we live in. Back in the day you would have a small town where everyone had a role (baker, plumber, farmer, etc) so you actually needed to be friends with people. Now everyone’s out for a dollar and they take on different careers to do that, so there’s no real solidity in our relationships to people.

I was more affected by this half a year ago but I really am just starting feel numb when I talk to people. Everyone’s just checking me left and right. Or like I said they glorify me and want to be me. Sigh.

Go to conferences about something you are interested in which also requires a high net worth.
Network there and go party with other rich fags.

Thats what I did trying to network and im not even rich so I felt out of place when doing blow with them in high end clubs but high networth people basically only have other high net worth friends.

It does count as glorifying, but I was in the same spot myself so I don’t mind. As long as you are being unique and not full out trying to copy. Also crypto. There’s almost no other way to make money right now it’s looking grim for even people like Elon who started right after 2008.

How did they all find out, fren? I want the normalniggers and fa m to get at least a subtle idea of my success but I don't know how that would pan out.

>> No.16430174

I was wondering this the other day about how people would handle life after 'making it', look at how some lottery winners turn out, I dont really have a lot of friends, but plenty of family that would probably want a cut, and imagine the drama with strangers or new friends, picture rocking up to a party in a lambo or something, some coke head gate crashers or friends of friends would probably see your beta ass and rob you blind, if not they'd see and easy target and try to manipulate you.

I think the solution is a very small and selective social circle, basically only make friends with rich people, I dunno start hanging out at horse racing events or yacht cluns or something.

This thread is a great reminder to everyone that before you make it, while you make it, and after you make it just keep that shit completely to yourself. don't talk about crypto with your friends or family unless they ask you something about it. Never tell anyone how much money you have or made. It's common to not discuss these types of things at all in general and would be viewed as rude to even bring up at all. For example I was taught by my parents to not ask people how much money they make, no different for crypto. I mean are you really better off now after informing a friend or family member that your networth is 100x more than theirs? It accomplishes nothing. I definitely made this mistake, 90% of the people i know know me as the bitcoin guy. wish i hadn't even told my family. most of them do know i rekt myself basically back to square 1 in 2018 though so the universe is giving me another chance to make it again and not be a nigger this time about talking about money all the time.

If it's really that bad where your at now like everyone knows your situation 100% maybe move somewhere new and take on some cool hobbies and take them seriously. or you can have no social life, It's really easy to revert to hermit life once you've made it. Not sure i recommend that as a long term solution though.

Yea, agreed fren and we do have winter here. Bleu de Chanel is a good choice too. Fragrances are a whole different thing to get into on their own. You can check out the fragrance general thread on /fa/ I guess. But yea, different fragrances to wear at different seasons and occasions. Def makes you feel good about yourself too.

Just find new friends who don't know you are rich. Look at it this way OP, you wouldn't shut up about crypto back in the day, they had every fucking chance to be equally rich but they just didn't give a fuck, right? They had more chances than the average normie to make it. Not your fault they didn't take the chance, and it's possible when they see you, they are reminding themselves about what could have been.

Just spend less time around them, clean up your act, be reserved but attentive when you visit with them. I haven't made it yet but have found unusual success in my career. Without volunteering how much I make (I just say I work a lot) and without buying flashy stuff, my family has adjusted to treating me with more respect, saying I look good in my clearance rack clothes, thanking me for my time when I help them etc. You just have to act like you have no ego and other people will be very level with you.

stop being a fucking nigger and invest that money. Invest in people, invest ideas, create opportunities. Money is freedom. You could do everything right now. No shit people around you act weird, you act like a fucking nigger with your money. You could run the city, enable work, enable creations, build all kinds of stuff. But you sit there and brag and falsely think you are some cool shit because you bought bitcoin and probably have a deluded perception of you and others around you.

This is a good idea, look at what other rich people do, especially based Elon.
He only cares about playing the civilization building game, requires interfacing with the cold hard reality of scientific truth, so people's wrong opinions can be defeated with evidence. And all of the social approval instinct attention seeking goes away as there is something larger to focus on.
Also, watch this pretty video to be aware of how you instincs are sabotaging you in the modern age.
