They will be very unhappy and threatened when you begin to make positive changes in your life.
I noticed this when I started exercising (dancing)...
People got very jealous, they got VERY threatened, as if I needed to keep sitting on my ass, doing nothing, gaining weight...
I had to take a step back, look at those reactions, and ask myself what was really going on...
And then I realized, when people in your life react negatively to positive changes that you make?
They were feeding on you, and they have to leave your life.
This is one of the dreadful things that makes life on earth so much less stellar than it might be.
Weird passive aggressive horseshit that generates anxiety. Insidious because even though it's so fucking tepid, it's also effective and hard to shield from. In fact it's the tepidness itself that is so awful.
They don't even have to say anything. You just sit next to one in the car and start feeling like your life force is writhing to get away. Or maybe someone is behind you in line and it just feels like your spine is warping.
Sometimes though, I wonder if it's not so much them as it is my fear of the mediocrity that the person I'm with represents. If I'm with them, what does that say about me?
It's usually out of some perceived need that I end up around them. And the need gives them leverage.
