  • Money doesn't define love and hate. I don't believe hatred is something any human being can really claim, and it is used far too loosely.

    That aside, socialization doesn't require money. Hang out at your friends' houses, if you're low on cash. They're your -friends-. They're not using you for money, and if you have enough in common to be friends, there is plenty to talk about at no cost at all.

    If you feel your family is unfairly blaming you, talk to them. Whether you like them or not, they are still your family. Listen to them, calmly, without arguing, then calmly, and carefully state your concerns. If they try to yell over you, politely ask that they hear you out--it's easy to ask if you've already listened to what they have to say.

    Don't try to talk to everyone at once, just take it one on one. Don't be afraid to actually express yourself. If it's easier, try writing a letter, so they can't interrupt you.
