I'm embarrassed by my family. We don't have money like my friends, what should I do?

In this situation it is important to think about what you do have. If you lived in another place, and you happened to be the family with thr most money, do you think that would make you feel better? Since you would have experienced what it was like to be poor, wouldn't that make you a generous and giving person? What you lack in funds you gain in character. Focus on your generosity, graciousness, and patience. Your friends will understand- relationships do not revolve around the money in your wallet.

Do not ever let anyone make you feel inferior without your consent. If you don't like the fact you don't have money - change something in your life. Your family may be doing all they can to support you, don't compare your wealth with others because there will always be someone worse off than you, and someone better off than you.

You shouldn't feel embarrased, i mean if they are really friends then they won't mind how much money you have, they will love you for who you are :)

First of all, it's ok to have those feelings- it can be hard when you compare yourself to others and see you may have less. However, I wonder if you can reflect on things other than money that make your family rich? Priceless gifts such as warmth, compassion, knowing that your family members are there for one another. It doesn't take away from the fact that you may have to get by with less, but it may shed light on some qualities of your family that you are grateful for. It's cliche to say money doesn't buy happiness, especially when you see all the comforts that money can afford to others. However, there is nothing like being wealthy in love and family.

Appearance is more then the clothes you are wearing. Wearing specific brand won't make you a better person. It is all about "who" you are not "what" you wear. Work on yourself, be yourself. People don't like or love people truly because of the money they have but for their character and traits.

Get off your high horse and stop observing greener pastures. What they have in cash, they lack in quality. It is very rare that a family with money will be as solid as a family without. We connect through our vulnerabilities. Embrace your family. They should be praised for surviving together.

Hey! A financial situation does not define who you are, it's simply a factor of your life that can be changed as you get older and have more control over your life. There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about, your friends having more money does not make them better than you in any way shape or form. However if you are still embarrassed by the situation, use this to motivate you so that you don't have to encounter this circumstance later on in life. :)

We all feel so ashamed for our differences. This is not something to feel shame or embarrassment over. Real friends wouldn't judge the amount of money you have or don't have.

if your friends truly love you they will understand, and it will not matter to them that you don't have as much money as them

if your parents love you unconditionally and give you everything they can, that is worth much more than money could ever buy. if you have true friends, they wont care about that stuff! xo
