[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP no amount of money can resolve your problem that you feel people are envious of you or don't understand you.  Get some therapy to address your feelings re money and socioeconomic status and stop attributing negative intent to everyone and everything.[/quote]

Thanks for your comments. I was trying to ask a question and generate discussion (partly based on an article I read that FB causes envy)  but I can see that this is turning into a post about me and why I asked.

People do not envy me. I keep a low profile. People do not know I have money and happiness. I go out of my way to keep a low profile. I will give you examples of what has happened though. While I don't use FB, I do send emails. If I email about normal things, I get responses and we begin a discussion. If I start emailing about vacations, there is deafening silence (from some people). It is has become quite clear to me that SOME people don't want to hear about my vacations. Or if I email innocently that I am happy my stock went up or that my kids got straight As, once again there is silence (from some people). These are just examples, but I feel like some people are envious and don't want to hear about my successes in life.

Does nobody else receive this type of reaction? I think this reaction is unfortunate but not unexpected. So it is best for my relationship if I don't talk about my successes with this type of person. I can continue to enjoy talking to these people about other things.[/quote]

It sounds like you like to boast, and then scrutinize reactions. I have none of the experiences you describe. But neither do I bother people with my kids' grades or my vacations. Who emails about vacations anyways? Don't you have anything more interesting to share?[/quote]
