It’s very important to know who really supports you now rather than later. One way to get a good idea of who doesn’t really support you is when you tell that person some good news about yourself and they’re not happy for you.
On the flip side, that same person will display subtle happiness when something bad happens to you. It’s important to note that just because someone spends time with you, it doesn’t mean they genuinely like you.
Sometimes they’ll hang out with you because they’re bored, or they value your ideas and want to steal them from you. Other times, they just want to find a way to sabotage you. For example, you might run a business idea by them and they’ll purposely tell you it’s a bad idea. They’ll turn around and either implement the business idea themselves or they’ll give it to someone they really care about.
Next time you tell a friend or family member about an accomplishment, notice their behavior. Are they clapping for you, or is their mood somber and quiet? Do they immediately change the topic? Or do they tell you some bad news about themselves?
If they’re quiet and/or change topics, they really don’t care about you and chances are they’re jealous and envious of you. It’s best you find out who your real supporters are now before you actually need their support - hopefully you never need anyone’s support.
Start telling your friends and family members that you succeeded at something - even if you’re stretching the truth - to see who’s who and what’s what. Warning though; you may not like what you find out. That’s ok though, it’s better to find out the truth than to live in an illusion.
Let me know if you’ve ever experienced a friend and/or a family member who brushed you off and didn’t clap for you when you accomplished something in the comments below.
