[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be a bit awkward if the people are not sensitive. For instance, we had several friends over and they were discussing their family adventures through Europe last summer. I get why they talked about it, I enjoyed hearing about their trips, but it felt weird for me because I couldn’t really contribute- we did a staycation to save money. [/quote]
Did you mean it can be awkward if you are sensitive? You enjoyed hearing but felt awkward?[/quote]

Different PP here.  I don't think that has to do with net worth. I have friends who have kids, and when they go on and on about their kids, I don't have kid stories to share, but I ask questions and show an interest.

Why can't you just ask them questions and be curious?  Why is there this need to have had an equivalent experience to contribute?

Sometimes it's great to swap stories with people who are in the same place you are (similar experiences).  But it's also nice to be around people who have completely different stories to tell.
