4. They tear you down
There is nothing wrong when a friend of yours tells you that you shouldn’t do something, because it’s either not good or it’s to hard – because let’s be honest, we need truth in our lives, not some sugar-coated lies. But when you give solid arguments of why you think it’s a great idea and they say something like “If this is what you want” or “Do as you wish, but…”, it is not a good sign.
They make you feel like you aren’t worthy enough or like you won’t make it. You don’t need negativity and people that are not happy for you.
5. Everything they have is better than yours
It doesn’t matter what family you came from, how nice are the people that are surrounding you, how great you managed to do something, you still can’t compete with them. Everything you have, they have better.
I don’t say that comparison is good, but neither is tearing each other’s close people down. If you can’t seem to make these persons understand that their attitude doesn’t serve you any good, then they are not your real friends.
Also, you need to keep in mind that these negative people can come from your family as well. It doesn’t matter where it’s coming from, because it’s still negativity and it doesn’t serve you any good.
Takeaway
Being close to people, supporting them and feeling happy for them make you feel good. When somebody succeeds in something, you should feel proud, not jealous. It should make you feel motivated and inspired. Am I right?
If you have seen these signs in your relationships, then you should really start to analyze them. Just like I said before, you don’t need such negativity in your life. You should have people that are uplifting you, not beating you down every time they have a chance.
If you decide to cut someone out of your life because they don’t serve you any good, that’s the best thing to do! Being a good friend should be common sense, not ”special treatment”!
As long as you don’t hurt anybody and you’re happy, you’re on the right path!
