You should not be embarrassed just because your family doesn't have money like your friends because you have your family and they have you and its no less thing.

We all come from different backgrounds and financial situations, but what's important to remember is not to compare yourself to your friends or their status. You're your own individual, and you refer to them as your 'friends', which means they've already accepted you for who you are (: Don't be ashamed about your financial background, friend, everyone struggles at some point and nobody can judge you for that - there's always a hundred more people out there with less than half of what you have :) You're valued by you as a person, not the clothes you wear or the watch on your wrist! ;)

Its hard to feel like all your friends have it better than you. Its not easy to come from a situation to where your isn't as financially supportive as your other friends may have it. Whats more important is that you have a family that loves you, provides for you and does their best to make sure you have all the things you need in life. Such as Love, food, a roof over your head, good health, and all the best things that you need in life.

I don't think it's anything to be embarrassed. And if my friends are rich, it's good for them. And if I am not rich I don't have any regrets about it. I will just tell my friends that I'm not rich like them cause truth never hurts anyone...

First, you should not embarrassed about that. Money doesn't mean anything. Of course you can do better things with lots of money but that's all. Also, if you have a "great" friends, they don't care about it. So, you should not embarrassed about that, again.

Feeling that way when you are feeling that you are not on a congruent level to your friends is natural, but it is important to remember your selfworth. Just because you don't particularly "come from money", doesn't mean that you are a great, loving, supportive friend that is worth the same love and respect as all of your other friends :)

You do not have to be ashamed. There are many people, who don`t have much money. Money is not so important, it is all about the character. When you want to have more money, you can work in a sumpermarket or anything else.

It's understandable that you'd feel embarrassed- especially when the issue of money hinders you from doing certain activities with your friends. However that's not something to be embarrassed about- money does not define a person and true friends would understand that. Perhaps you could suggest an alternative for outings such as going to the park or just being at each others' house and chilling out.

you should be grateful for what you have and not compare your life with anyone else. it may sound cliche but money can really never buy happiness and love.
