jenn, here’s metaphor i found suitable to process your inner tension (i have a similar inner edgelord:
you’re boarding a Boeing B777-300ER (i just boarded one). it’s a big plane. you’re walking from the front all the way to the back. first, you walk past first class and then business class and finally you get to economy class. did you buy an economy class ticket? if so, that’s your stop. otherwise, you walk back to business class or first class.
remembering that the entire plane is bound for the same destination, is there any need to fault those in economy if you’re in first class or business class (and vice versa)? so there’s little to gain from harbouring contempt for those in a class you’re not (yet) in. however, one could make it a fun experience to make the entire plane ride an adventure. pop into economy if you’re on first class or business class and speak to a random person to learn about their life or tell them about yours. unfortunately, i don’t you can walk into business or first class without a lot of friction.
