the people that tell this story live in Houses with Foundations and yards and Cars and had Consoles and stuff

the actual poors who don't tell this story live in Trailers. no one asks them their stories.

whoops I misread OP but I would say that even if you had a roof over your head you count as growing up poor if your family regularly couldn't afford one or more of: electricity, food, running water

but yeah I agree people that made their way to white picket fence are way more likely to say that

when i graduated i dated a younger girl in ug who would constantly talk about how poor she was growin up and how hard it was

we went to her childhood home her parents were still living in in san antonio and i was expecting us to go to the hood

we drove up to a clean neighborhood and her house had 6 bedrooms and was two stories

Kind of how women dont see men who are under 6', they dont see the entire working class, just UMC and above so lower UMC is the floor and "poor" in a sense. To them

people definitely see what they want to see

if someone just wants to be a Loser and ngaf they'll convince themselves that any degree of success is rare or doesn't exist basically.

Also libs/redditors really want to think that everyone is poor.

yeah that's what I'm saying, it exists but the "I grew up poor" people aren't the ones who experience it. Maybe because they'd just say "I am poor atm" lol.

also because of credit cards the poorest idiots can experience Consoles and Disney World at least on occasion. so not experiencing these things is more likely to be parents not wanting to spend money on that shit, possibly combined with being frugal or Indian.

Unless it's a Lie or the poverty is way behind you, people avoid bringing it up.

if you walk into OCI with a generic "I am Poor" study they will want you to gtfo. No one wants to get labeled Scum at the worst possible time.

in the US you get free food, housing, and income. Not to mention the safety nets of police, fire, and adequate roadway/infastructure system. the only people who dont have this in the US are either drug addicts or retards.

you also do not have to worry about military conscription, child labor, sex slavery, and other brutal shit that happens in the slums of third world countries.

People who grew up poor or poverty-adjacent mostly reminisce fondly about their upbringings and honor their families, even though, or maybe even *because* they struggled. But they do it very, very quietly and only in like company.

And then people who grew up poor AND caught up the some horrendous web of substance abusing family and similar things to hard to either end of the spectrum. Either they’re blowing up social media with a constant stream of attention-poasting about their “trauma” or they will work very, very, very had to avoid the subject of family and childhood altogether

That’s what I’m saying. Not just shame but that people will give them a blank look at best if they talk about it. It’s not the type of situation where you can milk it in any relevant way, and OCI is at stake.
