He had taken off Father's face, Bran thought, and donned the face of Lord Stark of Winterfell. There — George R R Martin

When you are insecure, it turns people off. To spend money, people have to give away a part of their security. When they make the transfer of money to you, they have to feel solid; they have to feel they are getting something that will make them more, because they are paying out and becoming less right now.
