    YMMV: I didn’t give two shits what anyone thought when I was nine and I didn’t have to worry about rent.

      Lucky for you. The folks I know all grew up with various forms of insecurities, fitting in, doing well at school, whatever it was. But happy to hear you’re not one of them.

        Internally at least, I chalk it up to being oblivious rather than being self-assured. Especially in retrospect. But a comfortable home/upbringing definitely enabled that.

        But then they always say ‘ignorance is bliss’.
