Thanks JenStar and Alex..
Maybe you guys are right.. I don't have to be too concerned about it.. My friend is not trying to boast about it.. that is her life.. In fact, she is under quite a bit of pressure to keep up to her relative's standard.. And she puts herself and her husband through pressure because she is not a millionaire yet!!. Atleast I don't do it and I don't pressurize my husband.
But for many years, I was almost half expecting that she would leave me - like kind of stop being friends with me, because I almost always come up short when compared to her.. But she hasn't left me so far, and I really keep wondering why she keeps talking to me.. It is almost always like - oh, now she is going to stop talking to me, now she is going to stop talking to me..And actually I had become so nauseated with all these hi fi people, that for sometime I would stop talking to some one if I find out they are rich or from hi fi families.. That is why I feel so much comfortable with babble where everyone is just human.. and I don't have to keep up to someone or worry about what I have got to offer them back. Thankfully, my husband is like me, comes from a very normal family, and I don't feel pressured at all with him. That is some solace..
Maybe it is some self esteem problem.. But it is really hard to live with all these high fi group of people. IT is really really hard.. especially if you are not one of them.
