Why do they only do this to me?

it's because you're not hanging with people on your level and they recognize that and try to bring you down.

I said this in another post recently, but basically it comes down to not believing in extravagance for the working class women. They don’t know it’s thrifted so they probably assume it’s new and expensive. Any time a working class woman has something bougie those who are envious want to tear her down. Small comments, judgement, etc. You could just tell them it’s thrifted, you’re resourceful, you like nice things, etc. Doesn’t matter, they will behave this way anyway.

They are not your friends if they try to tear you down.

I didn't read that as bashing on you, they are clearly bashing on themselves.

(I don't mean you're wrong to be offended, because they're ridiculous. But the veneer over their resentment is so wafer thin, if they breathe too hard they'll be fully exposed.)

Edit to add: A good time to practice "yes and..."
"Oh yer soooo fancy with yer expensive baaaag..."
Yes, isn't it lovely?

"I hope someone gets ME a whateverwhatever for my birthday..."
Yes, I hope they do, too.

Life gets a lot brighter when you don't have to justify yourself to anyone.

They don’t just do it to you. You might seem more middle class and appear to have good breeding, which can make you have an air of wealth about you. Whether it’s true or not, it’s how I’m perceived as well, and those who don’t like it have a chip on their shoulder.
