I feel bad for lonely people, whether rich or poor. I will get downvoted for this, perhaps downvoted into oblivion for being so poverty-ignorant, but so be it. Do I feel bad for people who experience poverty? Of course I do. Do I feel that financially priveleged people should feel a sense of not necessarily guilty, but "unneasiness" in their wealth such that they feel compelled to "share it" to ease the burden of those less financially fortunate? Sure, yes I do. But I honestly feel more sympathy and empathy for those who experience loneliness.
Couldn't have said it better myself. This is exactly me. It's nice that they want to support me, truly I am grateful for that. But just like you, I feel like I am just playing for them, as if I am just some kid at a talent show, and yup, I absolutely cannot relax and have fun. And yupp exactly, I love break times in between sets at shows, especially shows where I am playing, it's like so fun to just meet and mingle with other bands, and you have that little extra bit of confidence because you are one of the bands playing. But when my family is there I just feel this duty to keep them entertained during breaks and make sure they are uncomfortable, and suddenly I have like no fun at all with the socializing part.
true, I totally agree that reporting null findings is important for furthering science. However, in the world of academic clout, it just rarely plays out that way, unless you are already a big name. So many journal articles I have had rejected simply under the sentiment of "you led off your paper based on an interesting hypothesis. You set out to verify if such a hypothesis is indeed valid, which according to your study, you claim is not. Therefore I must unfortunately choose to not recommend your manuscript for publication."
