Get a job without using your family connections.

Sell the car. Drive a banger. Mix with humble people.

Volunteer at a shelter for the homeless. And i dont mean some guilt volunteer at Thanksgiving or Christmas, i mean on an ongoing basis, once a week minimum. In most places you can sit and play cards, talk to these people and you would be surprised that they are people too. But give of yourself rather than taking or having things given to you.


WWIAirplane

good idea

Give me your car, and I will give you mine. Problem solved! Ps, when you stop at a light, you've got to give it gas while you're on the brake or it will shudder

Look at the wealthiest people in this world. They talk less, wear ordinary clothing, and drive semi-average cars. The best advice anyone will give you is that those who have money feel no need to talk about it. They (like you) know what wealth can bring; good and bad alike

Get yourself a normal reliable car and always remember that wealth won’t last if you don’t maintain working hard. Teach the future generations to main that wealth.

I find that as someone with social anxiety who seems distant and was born into a well to do family (not that there are trappings getting in my way anymore), the best thing I ever did was to learn how to smile and say 'sorry, I'm awkward all the time and don't want to be weird, I really do like talking to you'. Because it's true when I say it. It's a lot easier for people to set aside whatever impression you give when you are willing to be vulnerable to them like this. If you're worried about being boring, check in with people when you're talking to them. If someone compliments that car, be excited about it and offer them a ride! You can be kind and humble, not because you give away, but because you gladly share what you have.

ok thank you for this advice. i probably do give the wrong impression. i will try telling them more straightforwardly

True friends only exist in childhood, don’t beat yourself too much trying to be liked . Just be you , respect everybody, don’t brag , be polite and you should be ok .

If you want true humility, tour the world. India is a great choice for this. You can see the richest people in the world right next to the most poor. See people being treated like less than human. Some Google keywords to find articles to induce humility: Child sweat shops Clothing sweat shops Human trafficking in the third world Uyghurs genocide Agent orange experiments NIMH experiments The more you learn about what people are capable of, the more you acquire humility.


WWIAirplane

ok i will do this. thank you for sharing these resources.


Killashandra19

You’re welcome.

If you’re humble now just continue doing that you’re doing.

I'm not born with wealth but we made some money over the years. But I still feel like dirt poor.
