dad gave me his patek nautilus and i felt miserable and anxious

My dad is a banker and he made quite a lot of money he recently gave me a patek nautilus for my graduation and i couldn’t even get out the house i live in pakistan and a lot of people have quite a lot of money - it’s crazy because you don’t start seeing things unless you experience them yourself - like i wore the patek went to a local cafe and i saw another guy wearing a patek light blue dial nautilus and the thing was nobody gives a shit and i realized i don’t even want to wear this watch the burden is too great and i personally want to live a simple life and work hard for my own development and success and achievements - your mind becomes very warped when you become attached to materialistic things the only thing i agree with is buying expensive clothes like from bonucci or loro piana other then that i have a straight winner killer mentality of wanting to work in IB just to win and gut the competition - what do you guys think do you have any experiences like this?

 

People's attitudes towards wealth and materialism can vary greatly, and it's important to find a lifestyle that aligns with your values and brings you fulfillment.

No, you definitely don't.

They never do. He can barely write in proper sentences though so not like it matters.

Loser behavior post. Wear the fucking watch or don’t. Get a grip or you’ll never make it.
