> It’s not ideal, and ideally people would have recognized talent at home and/or just included me because I was a living person, but they didn’t seem to have this ethics.

What an egotistical thing to say. You're not entitled to have people waste time trying to "be friends with you" just because you're financially successful

> I’m workaholic because I don’t have enough friends.

You don't make friends and are workaholic because of it.

I think you misunderstand GP's post on a low level, words-and-their-definitions level. The story has a timeline to it, and during the hometown portion they were not wealthy and not discussing wealth yet. Read it more carefully.

What awful things to say.

What other response would you expect to someone complaining that people don't like him despise him having money ?

He said people did not like him, because he was different. Did not recognized his talents. Considered him worthless.

With him building up a succesful startup he clearly proofed he has talents. But it sounds like he would have traded some of that working time to get money, to spend time with friends instead. But he seems burned from his childhood experiences.

You see, I’ve proven that I’m a good person in many occasions, despite naysayers.

Now if we all must collude to make women in tech succeed, then surely we can include me at an improv group.

Sorry I can't differentiate whether that was sarcasm or more self-ego stroking
