[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing OP:  to many in this area, it never once occurred to them to be nice without effort.  Nor did it occur to them that those who are naturally nice do so without effort.  Instead, they see it as an opportunity to have a doormat.

When we travel home to visit, amongst successful, intelligent, educated and (gasp!) nice people, I have to shift my thinking. I return here to really p*ssed off people that would never admit it.  They compare themselves to the Joneses constantly, to no avail.  They will always be disappointed in themselves, but not nearly as much as their own parents are disappointed in them.

It is okay to be happy.  Maybe you have a nice life and are grateful.  Maybe you have know so many losses that (likely) you have better coping mechanisms than most here.

It seems I have met two types of people in this area: either people from podunk who tend to be the comparing themselves to the Joneses type and will never be happy; or the ones you describe - they are NEVER in all of my experiences and years the same.  EVER.  The two groups do not overlap.

The group you describe have very different problems than the keep up with the Joneses kind.  Which is why you do not see them hang out together.  The group you describe, in my experience is the nicest, and I would choose them in a heartbeat.

But I need to clear this up- the group you describe is not exactly the same as the ones I encounter.  The "rich" "skinny" moms I know are friendly and happy.  Most important, they could care less about what anyone else is doing, but they are STILL friendly and happy.  They don't pretend not to see you, for example.  I think it is a class distinction (NOT a money distinction).  You would never know they are "rich" (some with an insane amount of money).  For example, they dress humbly(nice but humbly); have a self effacing sense of humor; and  they do not wear their nice jewelry unless they are going somewhere formal that actually warrants it. Why?  Because they can afford to.  They are here to impress NO one.

The unhappy ones pretend they are "too busy" (L-A-Z-Y) for others, are needy and not very loyal.     It is a lower class epidemic.  They have no right to be so p*ssed off because if they wanted to, they could work harder, but they do not apply themselves. It never occurred to them that the other group does not owe them.

[As an aside, I am not talking about tiger mom this or that, I am talking about the adults and their responsibility to contribute to society instead of take, take, take.  Not everything is one way, but they don't get ahead because they are too stupid to realize this.]

Sorry for the long post, but you asked.  Cue the lower class feigning ignorance here.  [/quote]
