Hi, I honestly don't know where to start from but how do you deal with a set of emotions that's beyond your control? I, today faced a situation where I felt like it triggered something that I have felt since a teen, the feeling of being the poor one in the group of friends and unable to do anything about it. And although I did believe that I have lost all materialistic desires, maybe I still don't like it when these materialistic desires prove to the people around me that im poor and I can't do anything about it?

First of all, it's okay... I get it. But u know what? There is no shame in that or anything to worry abt if you r satisfied with ur life... And if a group of ppl make u feel that, maybe they r not frnds. And I am saying ur feelings r not valid or that u shouldn't want things. But u should not want them to prove ur worth to ppl. So it's okay
Sit with it, maybe do smthg more. 
Maybe u get what u want, maybe u don't... That's life. And it's okay either way. Just don't do it to prove smthg, do it for you
