One of my weakest skills is a lack of higher social class or “status”. This set of baggage has made me question relationships and this is in part of the over-educated psychologists who have made slanderous statements on autism in a very negative way.
I’ve mentioned here on many occasions, I grew up from a lower middle class family when really my town was really an upper class, bordering on sinful amounts of snobbery. I had to deal with the baggage of a mass amounts of people in my community who didn’t believe in publicly funding special education in the public schools. I also had to carry on with many people who grew up on the idea to think globally and forget the world in their neighborhood. That town also had a lot of gifted people, and not that there is anything wrong of being super smart, but they look down at anyone who isn’t like them.
I was literally the down to earth guy from the small town. The problem is, no one would want to be friends (or a romantic relationship) of a “homely” like person.
I still carry that baggage into my new community, of almost 3 years. If I had it my way, I’d love to stay here for the rest of my life. The problem is there aren’t that many people my own age that would like that because thanks to a company called Boeing, the idea of traveling (or moving) to another place so easily (sans national security delays) within hours (days or weeks ) is something that people like. But such technology has ruined society and the centuries long social norms.
This goes back to what I was writing yesterday of lack of loyalty.
Getting back on track, most people at my age are now driving in ether something above the Honda Civic (yeah I’m being a little stereotypical) or driving an SUV. And because I don’t drive (NOR do I trust anything that is in the “public transportation” family) therefore I don’t have any significant level of social class. Only thing I have is a High School diploma which often gets looked down by the snobby elites of the Greater Boston residents. I must have at least a 2 year college degree or even a 4 year degree to just be accepted to a larger social group.  I don’t have the money to go to college, nor am I competent. I don’t have a father with a fat Rolodex ether.
Sadly I was exposed to such snobbery which effects my future relationships.
Why is snobbery accepted in society? Why isn’t it not refereed as something socially inappropriate? Why is it OK?
