Yes. I was born privileged but made friends through work and social situations (I partied a lot, took drugs, went to raves) from other backgrounds. Work, too. I didn't complete college and worked in retail, restaurants, etc, while teaching myself a lot about computing. I later worked at one of the leading tech companies in software development (as a QA tester). I now work for the government (in IT). People in my life have varied backgrounds; I think all come from relatively good homes (as in no parents who were destitute drug addicts or otherwise), but everyone is emotionally developed even if they / we took extra time to mature (I couldn't love myself until 2019).
