Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Can you get over being from different socioeconomic backgrounds? Can you make it so the differences don't interfere with friendship and the ability to talk to other people?
For some background information, I come from a poor financial background. I have been low income my entire life. I have been working at my first professional job for about two and a half years. I also have social anxiety that can make it really difficult to talk to anyone. It seems like everyone in my office either comes from money or make money except me.
Honestly, it feels like because of the differences in financial background, wages, and positions, that there will never be a friendship between me and my coworkers. Sharing an office has just created a rift because while I care about my coworkers and try very hard to show this, I feel very left out of the many friendships that fly around the office. The only areas that I lack are being able to spend money on anything, and lack of ability to talk to my coworkers (they mainly talk about patient care *understandable due to profession* or talk about where they went for the weekend (Niagra Falls and Chicago compared to I went to the lake).

It is starting to feel okay that we may need another 39 years to find that balance. Good loving takes time to learn. Practice, practice, practice. . .
I am not really worried about my husband and my relationship, the only real divide for us there is that I am the one that works, where he stays at home with the kids. My concern is that my family and I are all from low-income backgrounds, but my work and my desired field are putting me in front of the next social class.
On the friend mixing scale? ? ? Hubs and I have not mixed friends well, but, in general, I am beginning to wonder if that is a universal trend in 21st century U.S. I don't know *any* couples who mix social lives freely.
For what it's worth
I hope the caregiver/breadwinner duo isn't too divisive. It's a time honored means for a family having bread and a happy home, too. Them kiddos need somebody in attendance 24/7.
