Not everyone in your circle genuinely celebrates your wins. While some people may smile in front of you, they may secretly harbor envy, resentment, or ill intentions toward your growth and achievements. Recognizing the signs of those who don’t truly support your success is crucial for protecting your energy, peace of mind, and personal progress.
Here are seven subtle (and not-so-subtle) indicators that someone may not wish for your success:
1. They Downplay Your Achievements

7. They Offer Fake Support with Passive-Aggressive Comments
They may pretend to support you but insert sarcastic remarks like, “Wow, you got lucky,” or “Let’s see how long that lasts.” These backhanded compliments are a subtle way of expressing bitterness while masking it as humor or honesty..CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>
