I wish people stopped asking me if I were a realtor when I tell them I work in real estate development. Why is it so hard to understand the difference?

What’s the difference

Why don’t you just pretend to be a real estate agent sounds like it might be easier. I presume you are in a much higher status part of real estate.

When I say I’m government lawyer, everyone is like “Oh so you’re a prosecutor.” Then I explain that I do civil work and they can’t wrap their head around it.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
