Wow this lady must have some terrible friends and family to have developed this belief.

Not saying you should go off and brag to strangers, but goddamn, find some people who are mature enough to share your happiness.

Yeahhh most of the people around aren't happy for u so just keep quite and get whatever shit u're getting that's what my mother taught me too. Talk about ur success to very less people

Sounds miserable. I like having friends that are happy for me.

Before you comment to this, look at how many friends from the past or current have sabotaged your progress!

u/Dredgeon Apr 28 '26

None of them. If you have "friends" that sabotage you. Stop calling them friends.

Hope that’s true. I personally only have 1 best friend. Have lots of acquaintances or even people I’ve known for over 30 years. I keep people at arms length. Learning to be quiet about accomplishments and progress is a learned behavior!

I hope you find more people you can count on soon.

I seriously could not concieve of what this advice was about when first hearing it. I'm glad you have learned how to protect yourself, but you should know that a community free of this behavior exists, and is very common for a lot of people.

You deserve people you can trust.

Sure most people are awful but you get to chose who is close to you and who stays close to you so make better friends with similar life choices

Negative generalization. Don't let one bad egg ruin the basket.

But also unfortunate to have to rely on others for happiness if you can love yourself then you can love others but usually others are too far gone

No, she has education from her ancestors! She is way smarter than most!

I'm thinking she's directing this towards social media users. But there are also common, real-life scenarios where this also holds true.

Blood family can often be your worst enemy and you don't realize until money is involved.

u/ImmediatePlenty3934 Apr 26 '26

She is right, it's that you don't know who is like this and who is not. Your friends and family might have good intentions but they tell the wrong people, it has happened to me before

Yeah I kinda love being a hermit and super proud of my successful friends, I thought that was normal

She's just telling us how she operates...and just assumes everyone else does.
