Close friends ignoring me after launching my business and I don't understand why?

[DermalPunch]

It's the craziest thing. I've ramped up to the big launch of my creative business. Things are going well even though I'm in the early stages.

Since then I've had friends who I've known for years and whose businesses I've supported do the following:

• Unfollow me
• Ignoring my texts
• never asking me how things are going
• Ignoring me and all my content when they were supportive at first

When I was struggling they were there and vica versa. Now things are very slowly coming together they are acting like I did them something. I know I'm supposed to focus in myself and my goals but people need friends too. It's getting a bit lonely.

Jealousy is the great revealer

But that's BS. These aren't people have nothing going for them. I've never been envious of them. Always boosting and true g to motivate them to figure out what they want.

It's just rough. All my life I've been dealing with this garbage.

I haven't had a best friend ever. And close friends always end up doing shady stuff or straight up betraying me.

Romantic partners too. This is unreal.

Maybe it’s just the quality of the people around you

[DermalPunch]

Ok serious question, people say be around other people who are entrepreneurs and who are doing stuff. A lot of these people are!! Educated, not criminals many interests multilingual and good with money. I guess I was there for them to feel superior and I'm not following the script.

So the question is how to find nice people.

I do not think @Andres77 was saying you were jealous. These people you called friends are jealous of how hard you have worked to get this business off the ground. It's just like the Shanquela Robinson case. Shanquela went down to Cabo with people who she thought they were friends. Like you, she created a very suggestive business. The first day in Cabo they ganged up and killed her. I would not trust these people.

@MORPHEUS_12
Correct. Suggesting that the “friends” were jealous.
@DermalPunch
Depending on your environment, you might not have a good pool of people from which to choose quality friends. So having fewer might be the answer. It’s frustrating.
I just went with fewer.

@MORPHEUS_12 I know he wasn't saying I was jealous. I don't know what made you think I misunderstood what he was saying.

[DermalPunch]

Yeah, I barely have any as it is. I will just keep acquaintances as I did in the past.

[Andres77]

I know that sucks but you have to protect yourself
