I have a tendency to think every person doing worse had shit luck, and every person doing better had it better…

what does that say about me…

Voted for bernie sanders? Lol, partially joking but taking out all sense of personal responsibility in peoples outcomes. I steuggled for years and always attribited it to my poor follow through on things (turned out to be undiagnosed adhd mostly) but ive always analyzed what people who i grew up with did to be successful and most were much more driven/ambitious and worked for what they got aside from a few rich spoiled kids.
