We all have those friends that always doubt us until the end. And when we finally accomplish something they believe it’s just good luck. We can easily identify them most of the time and put a label around their neck “Poisonous”. These people can absolutely demotivate everyone about everything they do, even about life as a whole. Be very cautious when dealing with such people and keep them within a reasonable distance from you or this could kill you with time. Think about it… do you feel good when somebody never cheers about your success or pat you on the back when you need it? So why are you friends at all with these people? Oh so you know each other from your childhood. Well that’s good, but it’s poisonous…
Let me tell you a short story – once I had a girl for
a friend from early school years. We always were together, going out or to each
other’s house. It was so much fun and it felt right. She would comfort me when
I needed it, and I would just do the same for her. It was like the perfect
friendship. But now… guess what. We don’t even talk to each other anymore,
because we grew apart – so different. One day I knew we had to end this
friendship, because it was starting to feel like a big weight over our
shoulders.
What did exactly happen? Well she stopped cheering for
me, and it felt like a one sided friendship.
She stopped having time for me, and in the same time was doing nothing
at all. Strange thing, but she seemed to be getting envy from me. Started to
doubt me all the time, and when I tried to talk to her, she would say to me
something like “What? No ! I am just the same as before” and we would stop
talking for a long time. We started having different interests and beliefs so
nothing was keeping us together.
Stay tuned for Part II where the solutions will be.
