Have you ever said anything unintentionally to someone that hurt their feelings?

I've met some people at work before and became close to them, until I met this girl that went ballistic on me.

We were talking about colleges and where we went to, what we were studying, etc.
She brought up that she went to a Uni and ended up not finishing for some reasons and now she's in 40k$ debt with parents who don't want to help.

Then I told her my college story, that I studied and graduated. I also mentioned I didn't thankfully had debt because my parents paid my tuition in full. But I went to a 2 year college.

Well her and I aren't friends anymore because of our finances. Which is stupid because everyone was raised differently, I wasn't trying to brag but share my college story.

Sometimes you just can't control how people react.

I'm in the same situation.
My parents are both generous and are covering my studying fees and are letting me live without any living coats for me to pay. they also fund all my vacations.
I've lost friends because of it. People suddenly feel inadequate or jealous because of how lucky I am. I let them leave, and just hope one day they'll feel healed enough to come back to me. Our friendships were real, but ruined by jealousy.

@SW-User Yes, exactly! I wasn't trying to make her jealous at all. Just like you weren't with any of your friends. You can't victimize yourself forever with people who are fortunate. We are all fortunate with the littlest things too, like being alive, at least they can be grateful for that.

@SaraxKay Yeah, I agree completely
