Man Whines About How His Mom Gave Him $100k On His Birthday Along With A Comfortable Life, Internet Says 'Whaa?'
A Twitter user by name of a magnificent adult baby ranted about how his parents gave him a comfortable life and Rs 74,000 on his birthday.
They say money can't buy happiness and a privileged guy on Twitter has proved it with an epic 35-part thread rant on the microblogging site.
This guy by the name of Qiaochu Yuan took to Twitter to rant about how he resents his mother for spoiling him and gifting him $100,000 (Rs 74 lakh) on his birthday.
He started off by telling everyone how he took a 'medium dose' of LSD and realised that he was, in his own words, spoiled, and he didn't like it. He recounted how his mother gave him the large sum of money for his birthday, adding: "I resented her for this and also suppressed the resentment."
a few days ago i took a medium dose of acid and wrote for several hours straight and admitted some things to myself, mostly about money

let's start here: last august my mom gave me $100,000 for my birthday. i resented her for this and also suppressed the resentment
He goes by the handle name 'Magnificent Adult Baby' and wrote about how he found himself at a dead end after moving out of a shared house and feeling like he didn't belong and temporarily moved into a holiday home.
He said: "Towards the end of my stay I decided to take a medium dose of acid to see if it could get me unstuck on stuff and hoo boy.
"I wrote for maybe 12 hours straight and it eventually turned into a sort of spontaneous dialogue between the person I am on acid and the person I am sober; acidQC and soberQC.
He kept going on saying how his 'acidQC told him things he doesn't really want to acknowledge and said that he has been feeling pressure to feel like he has financial health when his parents do is give him money whenever he needs it.
he told me "you've been feeling social pressure to pretend like you have a 'financial health' that is entirely about your savings and your income and it's just not true at all. the truth is that if you ran out of money your parents would send you more because they love you"

He said, "You feel like you were told by society that the way making a living works is that you do labour and are paid a fair wage for your labour and that's how you earn the right to exist and be a member of society, you feel guilty because you've never done this. But that's just not true, you actually do not need to earn the right to exist and you never have. The reason you're alive right now and not starving to death on the street even though you haven't had a job in three years is because your parents send you money because they love you."
He even compared himself to Harry Potter.
"the truth is that for you money is a game you play with your parents. the most important thing you do to get money is to not piss off your parents so much that they cut you off"

In other posts, Yuan explained his parents had already given him over ?128,121 ($175,000) for education and living expenses, including his entire tuition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He said they did this because "they wanted me to have a good education and a good life", and added that he was "very spoiled, and in retrospect, it wasn¡¯t good for me."
my parents paid something like $175,000 of tuition to MIT out of pocket because they wanted me to have a good education and a good life. they were paying for all of my living expenses in both college and grad school. i never talked about this with anyone, really

He went and said that his parents never made him do household chores and when his friends said they didn't have the budget to get or do something he never really got it.
i had friends in college who would complain about money problems and i didn't know what they meant and was too embarrassed to ask. when they said they couldn't afford X i didn't know if they meant "that's not in my budget" or "i don't have the dollars in my bank account"

There were mixed responses from everyone who read his thread. while some showed compassion, others criticised him.
