How do you interact with people of equal education to yours, and with people of greater wealth than yours, much greater… how do you feel in their company and how do they treat you?
This has pretty much been the story of my life. I was the working class kid who went to private school, and the guy who got a scholarship to study at the Ivy Leagues. The best way to describe the way I interact is by being competitive, primarily about ideas. I don’t think I’m a respecter of prestige or title. If you have the same education as I or are wealthier, I’m just as likely to call you out on a B/S as I am to others.
How do I feel in their company – depends on how long I’ve known them. Those I’m still getting to know I’m guarded around. Those who I have established some working relationship with I’m comfortable around.
But I’m missing the insight you wish me to gain here Anita!
