Why didn’t my friend congratulate me?

[Staceym]

I have a friend group, 3 of us. We are all supportive to each other. I recently got an offer for an excellent job with a great salary and a much higher position at a new company. I texted the group and 2 of the girls congratulated me while the other one said nothing and actually changed the subject. One of the girls asked if I would still be going on vacation with her: I said yes. The girl who did not congratulate me started to post all these exotic vacations she wanted to go on: this person, who always wants to be validated for everything and always looking for support and gets the support really hurt my feelings and wondering is she really a true friend?

Oof girl, that's kinda messed up that your friend didn't congratulate you on your new job. Like, what's up with that? A few things could be going on:

- She might be lowkey jealous of your success and didn't wanna make it about you. Petty vibes.

- Something about the new job might make her feel insecure, like she thinks you'll be too good for the group now or won't have time for them.

- Or maaaybe she had her eye on that job too and is secretly salty you got it instead. Who knows!

I wouldn't straight up confront her about it cause that's drama. But I would chalk it up as a red flag - friends are supposed to hype you up, not act shady!

I'd be cold to her for a bit so she knows her actions didn't slide. And think twice about including her going forward if she can't be happy for you, ya know?

Don't let it bring you down though sis, you did the damn thing! Focus on all the positive people in your life who proud of you. She can keep that jealous energy💁🏻‍♀️

So, she’s not hateful or vengeful. Do I continue to be friends with a jealous person and just make her an acquaintance , person to get along with so as to not rock the boat with the friend group
