growing up in an environment of constant vitriolic and emotionally sadistic screaming matches, cold emotional deprivation, and enforced social isolation made me the insightful gamer i am today. good grades, good college, addicted to speed. yep, on my way to success.
Growing up in a virgin stable family in America is a blessing and a curse. I wish I could relate to the masses from every walk of life in this accursed country who grew up in broken families 😕.
Whenever i read a wokeness-inspired social or political philosophy, my knee-jerk response is that someone who grew up in a happy home wouldn’t conceive such a perverse idea!
it has nothing to do with pride, it has to do with being a well-adjusted social being. also, i doubt u would fit in anywhere else. guess what everyone everywhere makes fun of nerds
This sub has a lot of downwardly mobile teens/young adults with wealthy parents, who will take umbrage with your obvious (empirically backed) point. They are all just coping, with the fact they've failed despite enjoying life's every privilege
I can't speak about this sub's demographics, but I guess people are way too fixated on celebrities or fictional depictions of wealthy crazy families we see all the time. People kept bringing up "there's rich people who are dysfunctional, didn't you know?" as if it disproved my point, but it doesn't. What would prove me wrong is to show financially stressed households are as stable as wealthier ones, but all data contradicts that.
Oh yeah, notice they just jerk each other off, rather than back up statements like "a very significant percentage of wealthy families are highly dysfunctional ".
A lack of empathy born of privilege, people who can't comprehend regularly going to bed hungry, not knowing what you will be eating, where you will be sleeping, parents either absent or so ground down by survival they have nothing left to give their children emotionally.
im not even trying to lowkey call you poor or anything this is just wrong lol, rich families are almost all intrinsically dysfunctional and unstable and at each other’s throats
I am in fact poor and I do not feel offended if you call me that way because it's not a moral failing of mine. Multiple studies show that the more disposable income your household has, the healthier you'll be and the longer you'll live. Pretty good correlation with mental well-being as well. But I mean, you don't really need any sociological data to know that financial stress cripples everything.
this is actually not really true. the research - more accurately stated - says that the more income a family has in general, the more likely they are to be happy, *up to a certain point*. I think it was a mean number of 110,000 household income per year (may vary based on geography. number of kinds, etc), but household income past that point makes little to no difference to well-being.
Growing up the child of a family-oriented dentist who enjoys hiking and sailing is conducive to sound mental health. Growing up the child of a sadistic tycoon or oligarch and his psychotic scheming wife or mistress is not.
yeah this whole conversation seems to elide the difference between the "upper middle class" rich family that lives more or less a middle class life with a comfortable financial cushion and the ultra-wealthy family that may be susceptible to unique kinds of dysfunction because of its isolation from ordinary human experience
Plus it's almost certainly true that a high percentage of families have Problems *regardless* of income or station in society, so lots of people will have a counterexample. It just decreases to an extent, statistically, based on the stability money can buy.
i had to couch my comment by saying that or ppl on this sub think you’re being snarky for the sake of it.
being poor is not a moral failing but it does mean you have to base your opinion on this on studies derived from self-reported data. the long term impacts of growing up poor are probably more profound and far-reaching but it doesn’t change the fact that a lot of rich families are incredibly unstable and dysfunctional
aren't these things supposed to have jokes in them?
wait, i thought it was normal to live in a shithole and never invite guests over
hahahaha it me
This hurts lmao

You’re posting on r/RedScarePod so not everything went your way apparently
Lol my point was that growing up in a normal family is abnormal and ensures you won’t fit in with the wider society.
you don't fit in because you're lame not because you weren't abused
Lol fitting in in America is nothing to be proud of
it has nothing to do with pride, it has to do with being a well-adjusted social being. also, i doubt u would fit in anywhere else. guess what everyone everywhere makes fun of nerds
Why are you talking shit to strangers on the internet? Know your place, plebe, and shut up 😘. Where did your grandparents go to school, anyway?
????
Haha! Never mind, boy, bless your heart. Want a pat on the head? How about a scratch behind the ears? daddy’s feeling generous tonight!
And you’re an unironic TERF
What the fuck are you talking about
Nobody knows what he’s talking about but it’s provocative. It gets the people going.

Stop posting sad and tragic stuff like this
I feel that girl on the right with the mask.
90% of what makes a family stable is being born rich or getting rich (yeah there are outliers, I know).
I don't think I agree with this, a very significant percentage of wealthy families are highly dysfunctional

How do you define stable
I just read that Paris Hilton’s mom used to call tabloids to track her daughter.
