[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a striver is viewed as someone sacrificing their mental health, relationships, and social life for an unfulfilling, endless chase for status[/quote]

Sacrificing the mental health of a nosy busybody, maybe. Only people obsessed with status cry about strivers, people who supposedly don’t deserve their status. Other people don’t see people that way.

Elon Musk is a fraud and a creep and a hateful bigot with dragon sickness. I don’t need to call him a striver to name his flaws.[/quote]

You could use 20 words or just call it what it is a striver. Also Musk is not a striver he is a nepo baby and a sociopath. He exploits strivers, like the kids he used in DOGE to destroy lives.

I have one brother who was a striver and watched him slowly lose his life to depression. Top engineering school , top law school, law partner and a totally 2nd business and also a small 3 rd business. Saw his kids a few hours a week. Crashed and burned.

I have one son who is a striver and I warn him against the pursuit for material things for no other reason to have a bunch of material things. Slowly he is realizing there are happy people living simple lives everywhere he doesn’t need to live in manhattan to be happy.

I have a ton of examples in my extreme large Irish Catholic family of strivers and people who are just happy to live simply without losing themselves.[/quote]

My striver Irish Catholic grandparents and parents absolutely pursued money and material things over their personal passions. That’s how they went from poverty to upper middle class in a few generations. I don’t lose sight of that.
