𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. Tell them you found a good investment, and they assume you’re out to cheat them. Young lawyer win an appeal and post a photo in front of the Federal Court …must be just a bag carrier for the seniors. Given rankings, awards or datoship ….. must’ve been bought. Date someone handsome..… They ask, “Why u?” instead of “wow, good for you” Start changing who u hangout with, they say you are arrogant. Share a bit of fame… what a show-off. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞'𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐲. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡. As human, we, by instinct or insecurity, feel more comfortable, adequate and important when others are not doing better than us. The second someone around us rises above, our self-worth drops as it makes us feel smaller by contrast. So remind yourself every time: 1. 𝐍𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐭, “𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐣𝐨𝐛” 𝐨𝐫 “𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞”. When someone says shit about your achievement, very likely u are doing something bold, new, or better even when u have less resources than them.   2. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲. If really cant be control, maybe after the resentment subsided, turn it into inspiration. 𝘗.𝘚. 𝘌𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨.
