The “green-eyed” one
Apart from the beyond-competitive bunch, there are also people who are always envious and never miss a chance to minimize someone’s skills and accomplishments. If you know someone who stands out by criticizing other people, who is incapable of appreciating “your hard work and can’t rejoice in your accomplishments,” walk away as fast as possible, says operations coordinator Anshul Sharma. They are experts in finding or fabricating flaws and thrive on making other people look bad.
“People who become envious at your success, good fortune, or positive attributes…. True friends are genuinely happy for your good fortune. They don’t try to diminish it with negative reactions or make you feel guilty for sharing your happiness,” says attorney Athena Ponce.
Do yourself a favor and get rid of bad company
Saying goodbye to a friend, especially someone you’ve known for years, is hard, no doubt about it. But if your friendship is a cause of distress, pessimism and exhaustion, it might be in your best interest to move away from it all. You don’t have all the time and energy in the world to deal with these people. You need to focus on what you want to do with your life, your plans and goals. Don’t waste your time and energy on toxic people who can have a negative impact on your performance and happiness.

Everything I’ve read is what my mother has always done to me. I learned to survive and was successful since she kicked me out at age 14. She refused to see my home when I bought it. She refused to be in my sons life. She disappeared out of my life for years at a time, avoiding my calls. But behind my back she does the “poor me” telling anyone how I won’t call and I’m so ungrateful for all she’s done for me.
I’ve bought her expensive gifts on my single mom budget, I’ve spent my live concerned how to make her happy….she’s stolen several thousand and my Rolex because I don’t deserve them.
Im only adding this to bring awareness that as children we can’t walk away from toxic mothers but it will always be traumatizing.
There are also those people you have in your life that always let you supply the gear for camping, want you to offer to use your things(mixer, deep fryer etc) whenever they might need it but don’t want to purchase their own and then they seem to find a reason to get angry at you before returning your borrowed possession and seem to not want to have an opportunity to return your things!
