There’s been this assumption people have had about me since my secondary school days. I honestly thought that when I moved to the university and changed my environment, things would be different, but it actually got worse.
People like to assume I’m rich. They think I always have money and that I can never be broke. Anytime I tell my friends or even close relatives that I’m broke, they act like I’m joking. They never take me seriously because in their minds, I always have money. And since I’m good at saving, they automatically believe I can never run out of cash.
But the truth is, there are days when I really need financial help. There are moments when I’m genuinely struggling. Yet because of this assumption people have about me, nobody believes me. It’s like my own situation doesn’t count. That’s part of why I’ve decided to work hard and stay on my feet financially, so I don’t ever reach the point where I need to borrow. I have this personal principle about borrowing and taking loans. I just don’t like it, and I try as much as I can not to get there.
Even when I dress in something simple or casual, people still assume I’m just being humble and that I have plenty of money somewhere.
At this point, I’ve accepted that people will think whatever they want to think. I can’t force them to change their minds. So instead, I’m focusing on handling my finances well and keeping myself stable, because I already know that if I ever cry out for help, most people won’t take me seriously. I’ve just learned to rely on myself, since others already believe I don’t need anything.
