It’s easier to converse with homeless people than extremely rich people

r/

I reconnected with a friend I haven’t seen in ages, she is way wealthier than I am but we connected well during adolescence- I met up with her it was so painful, the whole conversation revolved around monetary matters. It made me uncomfortable and unable to gather up my thoughts. It’s way easier to talk to homeless people or people who are struggling more ive realized.

    She is insecure, self absorbed and likely telling only half truths.

    I don’t think there’s a rule either way. I’ve known fairly poor people who talk a lot about money (usually trying to overcompensate for their lack of it or complaining) and I’ve met wealthy people who are very down to earth and friendly.

    Homeless people can be either lovely people to talk to with a sad story, or so ruined by hard drugs that they can barely think/speak. Every person is different regardless of circumstances
