Friends being jealous of my success?
Im a single parent to a daughter who i had when i was 17. my friends were never there when i needed emotional support (nor was the father he wanted nothing to do with us). i just got on with things n worked hard and went to college and worked in fashion and had a lot of success career wise. I would walys stick my neck out and be there for my friends giving them money and lifts and a shoulder to cry on. I suffer with anxiety and it got bad when i was going through a rough time. I moved into my own place and found living on my own quite lonely. my friends refused to visit me ( they lived 2 mintues away). yet i would only hear from them when they had a problem. I try to come up with theories with why they treat me like this and the only thing I can think of is that they hate to see me getting on in life. Does anyone ever feel like this with their friends?
My friends are successful and I'm not?
Everyone around me is literally going places. Example, all my friends are so beautiful and they're going to the college of their dreams. I don't know where i'm going yet because i didn't do that well in my exams because i'm not very bright, so i have to get accepted. My best friend literally released a song on itunes and she's quite a ***** to people but everyone just stands by her side all the time. i don't really have friends and i don't get invited anywhere. I feel so alone all the time. I know this might seem like a silly teenager's problem but everything is going wrong lately and i just want to feel like i'm doing something right. 4 family members died in the past 4 months and my mum was diagnosed with depression. I've been feeling crap for a while now and i don't know how to make a name for myself. any advice? Please take this seriously or you'll be reported. Thank you in advance.
What should I do when all my friends are successful, having a good life and start settling down meanwhile I got nothing and my future is so uncertain?
Stop comparing yourself to others. Your circumstances are different than anyone else's. Comparing like that will never satisfy you.Create realistic, but challenging goals for yourself and work your butt off to achieve them. When you get some done, compare older goals to newer ones and fine tune as necessary to achieve as much as you want.When you need help, reach out to a friend. When they need help, offer a hand. Develop mutually beneficial interests and show genuine emotions with them. Be real, and they will too.Realize that life is what you make of it. If you think it's a pile of shit, it probably will be. If you tell yourself that you can succeed, you will eventually realize that you did, long before you were able to see it. So, enjoy life, even the shitty moments. Learn something from them, keep your head up, and move to greener pastures!
My friend is being successful. I am still struggling. What should I do?
Ask him to sponsor all your movie tickets/ dinners from now on ;) but going on to the actual answer:Even as I type this answer all my friends and acquaintances are officers in the Army/Navy/ Air Force/Merchant Navy or are managers in large companies whereas currently I am without a job and even when I was working I wasn't what you would call successful. What am I doing? I trying to put the pieces together. I am studying for GMAT so that I get into a good B school like a few of my friends did and break out of my current state. I take tips from my friends where required and try to incorporate the same.What should you do? Learn from his success (unless it was obtained through illegal means). See what worked for him, was it a financial decision or a change in career that helped him attain success? Does the same solution fit your problem? Yes ? Apply the same earnestly No? Keep searching and tweaking the mantra till it suits your needs. What you shouldn't do however is sit and gripe about your failure. Hope this helps.
How can I not be jealous of friends' success?
I feel ashamed to even admit that I am because I know I should feel nothing but happiness for friends when good things happen for them. Basically, I'm 24 and graduated from college a couple years ago. I've been struggling to get a career going and it feels like everyone I know is having an easier time of it. I have friends around my age who are buying houses, new cars, etc., and it's hard sometimes to not feel like a failure by comparison. A good friend's husband recently landed a job that pays over 50k a year and he's only 25, and while I'm happy for them I also feel bitter since I'm struggling to find a job that pays even 30k a year. This is a hard age, I think, because the friends who were so recently broke college students just like me are rising up in the world and I'm being left behind, and I don't know how to deal with it in a healthy way. Anyone else deal with feelings like this, or have any advice on how to deal with it?
I love my friends, but none of them are motivated to be successful. Should I move on?
They're not friends. They're acquaintances.And you don't love them. That's just a bunch of words you've learnt to say.Success is defined by everybody on different terms over varying timeframes but each definition is personal. You do not share their definition.So they're not friends. You don't love them. And you do not share their definition of success nor they yours.Yes. Move on. Because the situation you've described here is a complete fiction. It does not exist the way you describe it.Personally, I'd take any definition of success and replace it with a definition of happiness.Maybe this is where the link is broken.
How can we be successful without the help of friends?
Friends don't make you successful, but if you have friends - they give you someone to share your success with, and to make you feel happy and in return you can do the same for them. You can be successful without friends, but honestly why would you even bother trying.
Don't we hate it when our friends become successful?
And if they're northern, that makes it even worse And if we can destroy them You bet your life we will Destroy them If we can hurt them Well, we may as well ... It's really laughable Ha, ha, ha ...
How do I stay confident when all my friends are more successful than me?
In the long run, you may be more successful than them. Life is not all about money and start-ups, it is also about relationship, relation with the self. What keeps you balanced will keep you for longer periods of time, so your life may be longer and more balanced.I do not say that making money is wrong. You may be “hired” by one of those stratups stars to perform work for them. Be sure you know your price then, and come form a place of love. Be sure you know how valuable you are then, your “work” as well.I wonder about your “love” of physics and astronomy - if it’s genuine, it usually is enough, you’ll consider yourself already successful just by doing what you love. So, is there anything you are not completely honest with yourself here? I t will help you finding out.Learning astronomy and physics, and making money, startuping, do not necessarily eliminate one another. However, seeing that you do not consider them possible makes me wonder what your reasons of having (or not having) a startup would be.We all have our parts of contribution into this world, we are all successful when we do that - we feel it in our heart - however, if being a tree is more successful than being a bee, it is only you to decide. Find your reasons behind what success means, and you’ll find your peace.thanks for A2A:)
