But my mom associates being that muscular with poverty and she shames me for looking like poor laborers back in India. She constantly insults and try to deter me from working out. She claims that I don't need to be that muscular when I come from a &quot;noble&quot; family, and that I should focus on my studies. She claims that &quot;nobles like us&quot; use their brains not their muscles, and that it's the people who work for us &quot;nobles&quot; who use their muscles. She claims that if I get into a STEM job my coworkers will look down on me and perceive me as a meathead grug. She also claims real muscles don't come from the gym, that gym muscles are artificial, and that real muscles come from laboring and struggling, that it's like a mark poor men have on their bodies that says &quot;I have had to struggle my whole life to survive, my body is swelling from the pain&quot;. How can I convince her that muscles are a good thing even for people who don't come from poverty? <|endoftext|>
