[quote=Anonymous]Weird that OP is citing things like "clothes that aren't thrifted/patched up multiple times" and "house with more than one bedroom for family of 4+" as things she cannot relate to.

This are pretty core features of any working professional parent in america. If you show up at a fed job, or a non profit job, in clothes that have been patched multiple times, you aren't going to fit in.  What OP describes isn't a rich biglaw lawyer thing; it's just a person with a job and kids thing.

Also, OP cites 'lots of people on tiktok' who do thrifting. OP that is because they are literally making (or trying to make) their living off thrifting and being a social media influencer. That's why thrifting is okay for them in their job. Wearing a dress made from  sewing two vintage tableclothes together doesn't fly in any other job. Including things as simple as retail.

There are some professions where you can be as weird as you want and still succeed.  But  that is not the case in most jobs.  OP's gripes here are with jobs. Not biglaw.  [/quote]
