Dear Lost,
Thank you for sharing this vexing difficulty with us all. Your dismay at lacking personal problems is actually quite common among gifted people who succeed without effort, who have natural social grace, & to whom life is always kind. But most people have a plethora of personal shortcomings, which creates a common bond. We laugh about our mutual failings, our gaffes & our tribulations. We commiserate & support each other when the purple rain falls upon us. So necessary & pervasive is this relationship, that society expects everyone to have personal peccadilloes, & you might feel inadequate or even guilty for your paucity of imperfections.
This social network based upon shared failures can be difficult to navigate for those living a life of ease for several reasons.
1) You might lack empathy, having never suffered.
2) You inspire envy from those in need.
3) Lesser folk seeking comradery with you might fear rejection because of status differential.
But fear not, for there are coping measures available to you. Most important is to feign your sincere, genuine & heartfelt interest in other people's problems. Everyone loves to have others interested in them, & you will fulfill a great need. Secondly, let others know that you too face harsh difficulties, despite your outward appearance of perfection. Invent an unquestionably devastating problem, but one which is also unverifiable due to social barrier, eg, erectile dysfunction. No one will ask for proof; they will simply & inexorably feel pangs of sympathy. Now that you've joined the masses, you will feel euphoria & a sense of great power to manipulate. But always remember that with great power comes great responsibility.
Sincerely,
Revoltingest
