I'm engaged to my best friend, my future in laws are cool as hell, both my parents are alive and well, and my brothers and I get along really well. I've also got the cutest little nephew and hearing him laugh always makes my day. I might not make a ton of money, but I've got a damn good family and couldn't be more thankful for them

A solid, stable support system is a much bigger advantage than people give it credit for.

Congratulations on your pending marriage!

I'm white and can pass as a straight man if I try hard enough.

I have excellent time sense. I could set a 15min timer on the kitchen microwave, then go into another room. Often I'll get up and walk into the kitchen just as the timer beeps. Useful, but hard to monetise. Oh, and white privilege.

The human timer

My hair turns copper-gold in the summertime when I'm out in the sun for a few days in a row.

I don't feel any part of me that itches to make posts like this on the internet, and I appreciate that advantage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My dad died back in 2016 when I was 25 so I got an early inheritance to invest at a good time.

I'm seriously lucky, to the point it has been a running joke among my friend group!

It doesn't manifest itself as "everytime I gamble, I win", but more subtly. Finding dollar bills on the ground, having unexpected discounts, getting a dream job, ...

I can usually unscramble 5- or 6-letter words on sight.

I am helping many needy peoples.

20-something English-speaking cis hetero white American male, stable supportive family I keep strong ties with, four-year university STEM degree, gainfully employed at a low-stress job full of people I like that affords a comfortable, reasonably above modest lifestyle, no outstanding debts, no severe health issues or crippling disibilities.

I've certainly won more than my fair share of cosmic lotteries, all things considered.

Only thing I guess I'm missing is a partner, which is entirely due to my own lack of effort. So far sailing solo hasn't bothered me any. But I do occasionally daydream about what I might be missing out on...

I literally have nothing, bruh. Reading this thread reminded me that I am trulu the inferior being.
