Why Some People Want To Show That They Are So Rich

April 14, 2013 2:25am CST
Some people shows a lot of false richness even they are nothing. I have a friend who always tell to all other people about himself and want to show that he is so rich and he is one of the best person even a very less people know about him that what is he. We can saw various people in this world which want to show himself as he is the best even they Have nothing. Whats the benefit of this kind of showness..

You should feel sorry for people like this. They have nothing to recommend them. They have not succeeded in their relationships with other people and live with the mistaken notion that money fixes everything or that you can buy friendship and friends when you have riches. No matter which religious book you follow, they all talk about the evils of money and how it taints our soul. Of course we all need money to live and pay for expenses, but I am talking about serious losers who still need to prove they have wealth before they can be friends with others.

I am with you in that thinking. Pity for those people who keeps hiding themselves just to be accepted . They live in insecurity. I am amazed that I have same thinking like you in this issue. In any reason mylot can be a vehicle for a person to learn and feel better about themselves and understands others. Great day to everyone!

I know people like that. One word comes to mind when thinking of these - insecure. Ironically, they may have material things; they may even have traveled to different lands, but if they feel the need to boast about what they have or what they have done then they have a problem with insecurity and they are not showing a humble attitude.

Yes, also, material wealth is here today and gone tomorrow. When ever I see someone with a shiny, brand new car, I think to myself, O.K. that's fine, but in a few years it will be a rust bucket. Even worse, it could be destroyed in an accident. Material things are fleeting. A person can be wealthy in other ways. For example, showing kindness and generosity. When someone gives of his time or energy to help for a good cause, you can't put a price tag on that. Have you ever heard of one having a wealth of knowledge or a wealth of understanding. Those are the types of things we can never have too much of.

Hmmm totally agree with you they are insecure right now and making insecure for their future as well, I am not saying that they are totally wrong but when they talk about this it is totally understandable that what they are saying and what are their feeling, lie does not hide..

Hello betlynfrnds thanx for wonderful valuable statement , Yes if we really have kind heart and we are generous then we are rich, Money does not matter for good people and if anybody has a lot of money but if he is not good by heart and do not care about other then we can not say to him that he is rich

That is his personality and there is a lot of people like that even in our country, pretending to be rich but in real they are not, they are kinds of people make friends to rich to make benefits, they the social climber, i don't understand why they doing like that, will in fact at the end people around them were able to know their life status. They should refrain from doing it.

Hello jonastabuena!Good evening! Yea actually they are the person who always think for their own benefits and want to make friendship with rich persons and want to get benefits from them and they also want to make their status but very soon everybody get to know that who they are and how much they have and after that their id difficulty for them becuase no body faith on them ....

There are really people that are like that so just accept what they are. Criticizing will never be a solution, it will not even improve our status in life. We should be more busy doing important things that matters most to us, rather than checking out ones character if they are so flashy or not. Remember that what we are can never be what others are. All are different, in perspective, in character, in motivation and circumstances. We should strive hard to be unique and not imitate what others have. Being something that you want for yourself and for your family is valuable than what other think of you or what others are to you.

Thanks strawberrychocodahi for a valuable advice, Yes we should not think about other people that what they are doing and what they are, we should think about ourselves that what is our destination and how we should make our ways, where we have to reach, and we should not care about others...

Hi ! You know friend those who kept on showing that they are rich are the very person who have nothing in life. Rich people don't shout that they are . Some even hide thier identity , they want privacy and humility. Only those who are half bake rich wanted to shout to thee world that they are rich so they will be adored by the people. These are thew kind of people who have lived a miserable life and wants to divert image into being rich. They can't accept kind of life they have , so lived in denial and fantasy . A very rich person don't accept that they are having that and those investment and businesses. They just remain silent because they have everything already.
14 Apr 13
Hi friend i am totally agree with you if a person is really rich then he/she would never try to show that he/she is rich, Only the person who do not have anything or collect some money by without investing anything would do the same...

I agree with you Angel,rich people tends to hide that they are rich because they are afraid of thieves unless they are celebrities.They are living in simple life which made them rich in the first place.Only those who just acquired little or even bankrupts would show that they are rich especially those who experienced poverty would show that they are rich to uplift their ego,to avoid ridicule and humiliation.

these people has a very poor level of confidence of accepting by others, most of them show such lies to gain relationship to other people they simply believe that they will gain respect from the society from doing so and will be given priority treatment which happens and effective for some. They are in fear of not being notice and be set as a loser
15 Apr 13
Yes absolutely right this is the problem with those persons, they think that they can gain respect from the person like that way and in initial days they are also able to gain that respect but as well as people know them that what are they actually then those people even do not like to talk to them and no body faith on them...

May be they are lonely and craving for attention, even though with all the wealth they have, they have to show that out so that they can obtain happiness in their life when everyone take notice of their wealth and their riches. Wealthy people are human being too, they also like to have all the attention and admiration from others, especially those who have less money than them. It is all about ego boasting and self image building. That is perfectly alright for me some people want to show that they are so rich, they are not out there hurting anyone or placing other people in harm way, you shouldn't consider their action as anything close to 'bad' or 'sinister'. Let them continue doing what they doing, no offense taken by me.

I am agree with you but i was talking about the people who are not rich but want to show that they are rich, wahts the benefit to show them like that, even who would faith on them when people would know that he/she is totall lied...

I think it has nothing to do with him being rich but rather it has something to do with his attitude. I know some rich people who does not show they are rich, in fact they would rather keep quiet about it.
15 Apr 13
Yes thats the mean and what i personally feel the image of that type of people is never good and nobody faith on them...

I tend to believe that there are a lot of people that think other people will not like them if they don't have anything. Therefore these people will go out and spend money that they don't have to have the nicest car, the best house, the best designer clothes, etc. Me, I've never been that way and I will never be that way. I don't have a lot but I'm proud of what I do have and if you don't like that, then I guess we just aren't meant to be friends.
15 Apr 13
Yes we should be happy whatever we have and I am happy with that,But i love my all friend no matter he/she is rich and poor and i like to go on travel with them if they poor then i like to spend some money for me as well as for them and i enjoy that moment...

Hey, I totally get what you mean where you say that there are people out there who just wnat to show how rich they are. I personally think that if a person is rich, he or she does not need to display it. There is no need to show-off
14 Apr 13

There are people that is really rich and they even want to hide it and pretend poor because they are target of scammers and thieves. Now, I also knew of people who are not yet rich but they insist and pretend that they are rich. They are so fabulous but not all part of their life is fabulous. They maybe living in a very beautiful house but inside there is no food, meaning they just want to impress.
15 Apr 13
Yes averygirl thats why i want to say what is the benefit of that impression, There would be a time when nobody would faith on them and and the people like that would be alone, why they want to show if they are not rich, i thing they want to make friendship with rich persons or they search their own benefits in it..

People like this would like to defend themselves against insecurity in life. They would not want to feel inferior from the other . Just let them be as they want it to because time will come that they may able to think about themselves and changes would happen. Let them learn at their own pace because people like them needs understanding because they felt that they can hardly be accepted if they will not tend to pretend.
14 Apr 13
YES I am totally agree with you ,the people link that would not want to feel inferior and want to show them that they are rich and they are not less than anybody else..

The world is slowly growing fake at the very highest level of society to the very bottom,it is no longer about the person you are,morals and respect,it is all for show,I think the way the system is structured and the things they promote has big part to play in this.

I do not understand what sense does it show that you are rich. If you're rich keep it for you because it has no way to show other people to be rich just to make us the "spendthrift".
15 Apr 13
I am totally agree with you but some people even want to show them...

Some people pretend to be rich because many people in this world have a very high opinion about rich people. They speak as if the rich people of the world are gods. I had one friend in college who said that God may or may not exist, but the rich people definitely exist and that wealth is the god of this world. Such people are worshippers of wealth and always praise rich people. People like this particular friend of yours want a lot of praise and admiration. They want to bask in glory, even if the glory is false and they find no way to bask in glory, except than pretense of wealth.

There are people who are like that, I have meet a lot of them. Whenever they talked too much about themselves, about being this and that - which I know is not true, I just let them be. Being boastful, or a liar, is a sin, that they do to their selves. Maybe they are just doing this to defend themselves from being be littled by others. They are not just lying to the people they talked to but most of all to themselves, there will come a time that even them will not be able to realize which is the truth and which is the lie. Just include them in your prayers, and keep reminding them to just be themselves.
14 Apr 13
Hello friend, Yes it is really like that people even do not faith on those persons if they tell truth also, They are making fool themselves not to others because they know that who they are even they use to tell various lie things...

I know some people who are not so rich or not really rich who are like that. I also know people who are really rich, like my boss, that are not showy. She is so simple that people who have not meet her yet wouldn't believe that she owns 10,000 hectares of farm. What I know is people who tend to show the things they only have are prone to danger cause by thieves.
14 Apr 13
Hey quieley, Yes it is true the person who are really rich do not show themselves i know various persons here like that and yes there is danger for that who try to show them and they are nothing and they do not know how costly it can be for them..
