of their socioeconomic status perhaps not measuring up to other people's? Most of the time I don't really think about it, but then sometimes I feel like a bit of a loser. Graduate degree aside I've never been someone of "privilege", and sometimes I've been downright underprivileged, struggling and poor. I won't even get into my struggle to remain functional and not debilitated by emotional disturbance/psychiatric symptoms.
Someone was asking me the other day about where I lived, specifically I noticed with questions directed to finding out whether I was from the wealthier part of town. Weird questions I thought. I let them know I am broke. Why does it matter? I don't know.
What difference does it make? for me it's one of the bigger considerations when thinking about having kids, but then why can't I have a family, a real family of my own? why didn't I think about that? why did I screw up so much? When I was younger I didn't think about living this long or really living at all.
........oh boy, I can't keep up :-(
