if you imagine that you improve the world by spreading your personal kind of hate, i think you will make yourself deeply unhappy. once, when it does not work and they reject you, twice, for holding the anger in the first place.

there's often a lot more lurking beneath the surface than you might initially realize. certain feelings sometimes mask certain other feelings, e.g. anger sometimes masks anxiety, insecurity, fear. there's more to your own thoughts than you see at first glance. explore further.

it's important to work towards creating a space between thoughts/feelings (I feel angry, I feel envious, this person is awful, etc) and reactive behavior (e.g. lashing out at them). work towards processing your thoughts and feelings rather than just immediately reacting.

if you, too, are filled with a vast assortment of complex and mixed feelings, there are ways to work through them — to untangle them, to get to the bottom of them, to process them. perhaps even with some psychedelics! but perhaps without. lashing out is not the answer.

stemming from the very reality of his situation that some of you seem to think he's missing entirely! it's self-aware and self-reflective, & honestly MASSIVE kudos to him for doing this exploration in the first place, & also the calm way in which he's handling this deluge of bs.

money does a hell of a lot to our emotions, whether that's from not having it, having it, having it but for reasons that fill you with immense guilt, the list goes on and on and on. this isn't some "woe is me, I'm rich but I'm sad about it", but rather intensely complex feelings

many of your reactions paint a caricature of him, some kind of "whatEVERRR mom and dad, I hate you, you suck, I'm not grateful for this money, I can skateboard in this house if I want to!" bullshit. like you stopped reading after the word "resent" and didn't try to understand it.

I didn't get $100k+ from my parents. in fact I currently pay my mom's rent for her many months, because I made it while she's still scraping by. but if all you're seeing in his thread is the dollar amount and him feeling some kind of negative way, you're missing a LOT.

this. to be a bit more explicit than my subtweet: I grew up below the poverty line, on food stamps, eating gov't cheese from food banks, and yet I understand and empathize with QC 100%. if your immediate reaction was to burst into a fiery ball of envious rage, take a DEEP breath.

@QiaochuYuan Thank you for writing this.

The funniest thing about all the QTs saying they hate you while asking you for $$$ is that they all have…
