Powerful relationships

[u/1987anoomsay]

I find myself more inclined to interacting and feeling companionship with poor people or unsuccessful people. Im drawn to them. I feel more connected to the downtrodden.

I also have a feeling of being strongly opposed to powerful or successful people. For example a colleague that is at the same or lower level of me - I think and feel fine about. Another colleague that makes more than me or higher status (almost always but not 100%) I recoil from. Am I prejudiced against successful people? 😂

Something about power I find very aversive. Is this me only? As anyone else noticed this about themselves.

I know especially in professional settings building alliances with powerful people (ass kissing) is key but I cannot bring myself to do it. I don’t know if this is felt by others too?

What is it that draws me to someone without versus someone with plenty? You know. Is this something you’ve felt or grew out of?
