One thing I have learned over the past year is economic/education status is something we all feel shame about. Every one of us. The guy with the doctorate compares himself to his colleagues that went to "better" schools. The woman at Princeton is ashamed she didn't get a higher gpa or have better connections or didn't have the same family support that the guy who went to state school and lived at home. It isn't your status it is who you are comparing yourself to. They feel exactly the same as you. So if you are comparing yourself to your T, she is comparing herself to someone else. That means she can relate and understand. Hope that helps.
