"Why don't you want to come to my wedding?"
"I want to come but I can't afford a ticket overseas."
"Whatever, if you want to stay home and miss out on life that's your decision I guess."
Apparently me saying no to this wedding was the last straw for them, because they're always asking me to do things I can't afford and they don't seem to understand why I can't despite me telling them every time that I am poor. So now I'm the bad person because I'm totally being poor and "holding myself back" on purpose.
If they want to burn this bridge they can fuck right off. I've had enough of this shit.
I hate people like that. People who rub all their traveling in your face as a status symbol. It's so much more common to see these days. It just ruffles all my left populist feathers.
"Influencer" culture itself feels like a fake friend doing exactly that while being effectively paid by their fans to continue doing so.
