Is it right to be ashamed of where you live?

[idk4]

I moved to another state about a month ago and I am not so good making friends. I've been working hard and I think that now I have some friends and a few close ones. My problem is that one of my friends wanted to come over to my house, but I didn't want him to come b/c I don't live in a whole house, I live downstairs and I am afraid that he will make fun of me because of that or maybe he is just going to think that I'm poor and I'm not. I know that this sounds stupid, but is it right to be ashamed of where you live?

Try not to worry bout this.
Go invite your friends over! If they make fun of you, or think that you're poor and somehow that affects them, they're not really worth having as friends. Friendships aren't built on social class or wealth. And, honestly, I'm sure your friend won't care at all, bc he obviously likes you for who you are, and so where you live should be of no importance to him.
Hope this helps :)

^^ I agree with Rachel. If you ask someone to come round your house and they belittle you just because of where you live, they really aren't worth having as a friend. Also like Rachel said, just go ahead and ask them to go round yours, I'm sure they woudln't mind where you live at all :)

completely agree, you shouldn't worry about it... people that base friendships over social class aren't worth having...

As someone who's fretted about this for a long time I can tell you that it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to any freind where you live, what you wear or what your family is like.
They're your friend because they like your personality and you two get along well together.

So don't worry, invite them over and have a good time! I garuntee they won't think anything of it.

You shouldn't be ashamed of where you live. If you have friends that discern you by your social classing, then they aren't worth having. If he wants to come over, then let him come over. You probably can develope a good friendship with him. Just give it a try :)

Thank you for your opinions. After thinking about it, all of you were right because it wouldn't be a good friend if he is my friend based on my social class.
