    billionares also feel like they are poor and struggling and only that next 10 billion will make them successful.

    that doesn’t mean it’s true. it means they are mentally ill.

    reality exists outside of our feelings.

    and this is often from people who are not ‘lonely’ on the outside, but their many relationships are entirely performative. and they have built up their entire life as one big act.

      Is precisely the part i disagree with if you’re going to generalize the way you did in your first reply. Hence talking about the experience even with honest meaningful deep non-performative relationships.

      it means they are mentally ill.

      Psychological health indeed impacts it, hence why i brought up depression and anxiety to name just two of many conditions that could contribute.

      The wealth disease, on the other hand, is probably generalizable in the way you’re suggesting. I couldn’t really care it someone is sad about being ultra-wealthy. Maybe they should give it up and be a depressed laborer like the rest of us.
