I recently found that people I considered my friends are jealous of what I have. Its either because they can't do what I do or their SOs won't let them do it.

I have always been the type to be genuinely happy to see those around me succeed. It feels good seeing others do well. And when I see a stranger's Ferrari, I'm clapping because someone put in that work to get it. I really feel that people should be motivated by others' success.

How do you handle jealous individuals? Do you move them away or let them stew in the hate while you do your thing?

lol wut??? why is this even a mentality you want to be associated with? you come off like youre stuck in the middle of humble brag and thinking youre humble. IMO.

i dont get jealous. i get semi depressed that im not working hard enough, then it quickly fades away lol. everytime i see a nice car, or nice house or an expensive whatever, i think about the person who earned it. even if it is a spoiled kid, that parent worked his/her brains out to beat the system. no 9-5 bs. i want that.

and for "jealous" people, you dont need negativity around your aura lol. just let em be/drift off. do you.
 
Don't you have the Vette still?

What makes them jealous if you don't mind sharing?

Might have to dead those guys if they can't be happy for you
 
males shouldn't be jealous, that's a female's trait

Well first I'd have to ask if you're doing too much. When I say this, I don't mean you can't have anything. But do you puff yourself? Some people accidentally inflate on others :lol

But I know what you mean though. Me and my girl are moving in together. So I get a new TV and text my boy to tell him. Thinking we could chat about it. No response on it what so ever. NOW this could have been nothing. But recently we were chilling at he and his wife's home. He ask me how much did my shoes cost (Metallic 5s). I tell him and he says "that's way too much for shoes". :| :{ Son you see the jumpman and you always see me with a jumpman or swoosh. You know what it is.

Sometimes I don't even bring stuff up due to how people are. :{ Its tough because I try to be really enthused about what others are doing and really pump them up. Then in return it feels like, "RKO finally got a car? Oh that's nice" . :lol

You probably gotta surround yourself with different cats man. Nothing worse than dudes who you consider YOUR BOYS throwing shade.

Sorry for the ramble/rant.

It ain't your fault they don't have what you have. They're just as able as you are to have what you have but they're obviously not doing something right, if anything they should be asking for advice. 
 
I have some friends that are like that and I don't even have anything to be proud of.

:lol

How about the dude who always has to top whatever you said? You tell a joke, he has a funnier one OR he tears the joke down trying to be super analytical. Dudes it's a joke!

Then there is the guy who just glazes through life. His girl loves him but notices his slacking *** ways. She gives you 1, 1 compliment and you notice his soul is burning with jelly rage.
 
Yeah Jay I still have it. Initially I couldn't understand how dudes could be so butthurt over that. I figure we all work, most own homes so credit gotta be decent, go buy one if thats how you feel.

I try to be as humble as I possibly can. I NEVER stunt on my friends or family. People on the street feel comfortable enough to ask me questions and make comments.

Other than the car, maybe its the way I live. I am King of my home. Some these guys wives wear the pants it seems. I take a few trips each year and yeh I cop most of the retro Mikes.

By no means am I balling. I feel like I need to hang with people with more than me.
 
Its so hard to find good solid friends though. Its so tough to build a camp of cool people nowadays.

You're enjoying life. Bitter people hate that. It is a bit shocking in your case since your friends are doing well too. I can't call it.
 
i've been told "you think you're better then everyone"

That's a shame they treat you that way.

Perhaps they weren't truly your friends to begin with.

Is it a ZR1?

No sir no bragging over here. The car is an '05. No it's not a ZR1. I wanted a drop.

I don't stunt on anyone because I know it's people out here with long bread that got the whips I still dream about. I acknowledge my achievement, but I refuse to be content with it.

Were they trying to hold you back or something? I'm jealous of my friends but I love to see them do good.
