Is your society so jealous as hell?

In Turkey everyone is so jealous. When I was 17, I said I was going to create some software and sell it to the world and make the bank and all my cousins and relatives and friends and family members called me crazy. You can not do it. You are a schzo maniac psychopath who dreams a lot.

But at the age of 19, I was selling my software and digital products globally. Then some of them dropped me as a friend, and some of them started talking good. Don't get me wrong, I don't brag about myself, I just love improvement. But jealousy is one big problem in our country and that is one of the biggest reasons why people don't serve the country and go join American companies.

i wouldn't say this is limited to Turkey. In Australia it is called the tall poppy syndrome. The tall poppy has to be cut down.

Yeah. In the US it's pretty bad, to the point that people will straight up make shit up to seem cool, and also sabotage you

But you still have lots of successful people

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, they got that way by dragging down and sabotaging others and kissing the right asses

[KostasKouvalis]

Or they had a great sob story

I guess human nature is shit

Yeah, sadly from my personal experiences, I believe most people are self-centered and liars and don't have other people's best interests in mind.

And they pretend to be a good person is the saddest part

Jealousy occurs in all countries, it’s just a fact of life.
