i remember my older sister once said "mom, people don't like us because we don't have any money." and that stuck with me from childhood to adulthood. that's where the mentality comes from. how do you undo something like this if i want to work on this part of me?
Your sister's perception may, or may not, be accurate. If there were some people who didn't like you because your family didn't have money . . . well, those are people you can do without anyway, because their value system is pretty screwed up. Even if you have money, it's good to avoid people who 'like' you for that reason.

Great. You learned an important truth from a painful experience and decided that you won't treat people that way.
