Indifference

Simple Trick For Better Relationships

Ever seen an interview of a mega-celebrity?

When someone approaches a billionaire, their agenda usually announces itself within minutes. They want advice, investment, connections, or simply the social currency of proximity to success.

Even well-meaning people often treat wealthy individuals as walking ATMs of wisdom rather than complete human beings.

This creates an exhausting dynamic for anyone with significant resources.

They learn to recognise the subtle signs: the slightly too-eager eye contact, the strategic questions about business, the way conversations steer toward their accomplishments.

They develop sophisticated defences against being treated as a function rather than a person.

The same principle operates in reverse with people who are less fortunate.

These people who might lack obvious success markers experience different treatment. Their ideas get less consideration. Their time is treated as less valuable. Their contributions are pre-judged based on superficial signals.

Becoming indifferent to the abundance or scarcity of others' wealth, status and material circumstances makes them significantly more drawn to you.

Your indifference to these hierarchies offers something both groups rarely experience: interaction based on human value rather than economic utility.

This doesn't mean ignoring practical realities. Of course you'd suggest coffee over expensive dinner when someone mentions financial constraints. The distinction lies in motivation: you adjust for their comfort, not because you see them differently as people.

You can acknowledge when someone can't travel, recognising that financial stress is real - without making their economic status the lens through which you see them.

Sensitivity means being thoughtful about suggestions and understanding constraints. Indifference means not treating those constraints as character judgments or relationship determinants.

When someone realises their worth to you isn't tied to their wealth, their status, their pedigree, their title or their university, they will naturally feel like your approach is less transactional.

Maintaining this indifference towards those less fortunate, still treating their words, time and reasonings with as much respect as you would for anyone else will also make them endear you.

In a world where most people are constantly calculating economic advantage and self-interest, your genuine disinterest in financial positioning becomes your greatest social asset.
