Is it possible to have true friendships across different social circles?

I am neither wealthy nor poor, just happily comfortable. I live in a very upper-middle class area where the posh people are super cliquey. In reverse, I have friends who are less affluent and I feel I should not disclose too much about personal things like holidays (nothing fancy mind) in case it creates resentment. Is this all in my head? I might be too sensitive/picking up on signals.

It's not just about money. I tried to start a friendship with people with multiple DC. I have an only child and I have often had barbed comments about my life being easy/me being able to do things. This was not by choice so the subtle resentment is not landing well.

Therefore I realised most of my friends (excluding childhood friends of course) are people who are very similar to me in one way or another. This is rather sad imo. Should I make more of an effort?
