I'm sorry you felt that way. I think middle class and classifications like it are different depending on which country you came from.
But from my experience, some people are just really looking for someone who they can be partners with for life, someone who'll love them and fight to be deserving of them, someone who constantly tries to be better. Maybe it's hypocritical to say you can't change your past sometimes. But we all have parts that we'd rather not let out in the open. If you can find someone who assures you you're more than enough with all of those...then you find yourself a diamond in the rough...possibly.

I feel similarly when I date someone who is middle class +, and seem like they are a part of a family that isn't dysfunctional. I feel like I don't fit with them. I know it's not true, but it's hard not feel like I'm not good enough for people who are wealthier or more educated than I am.
I also relate to it making it hard to be more open, because what if they can't relate to my experiences and are judgemental.

I don’t have anything to add. Only that I remember feeling like that for a long time. It was hard. All I could do was focus on bettering my life and disassociating from problematic people so that there was freed up space in my life for good things to happen with good people.
