Don't You Just Hate It When???

you are very right about that, i have experience so many poeple like that around, all they want is to see that you dont smile and feel happy they arte just born of jealousy and envy those kind of poeple are not meant to get close to becuase if one is not careful they will just rob you of your personal joy and use your sad moood to build themselves up. so its wise we try to protect our happiness and build it up ourselves.

I know exactly what you mean. When someone comes to you with something they're proud of, then you should focus on them and what they've done. People should be rewarded for accomplishments, especially by friends and family. It's not YOUR moment, it's THEIRS, so don't talk about yourself, just congratulate them. They'll do the same for you when it's your turn. I know someone who, no matter what you say, they've ALWAYS done something bigger, better, or more successfully. I can tell him I've done anything and he always changes the conversation to be about him. I can give a two second sentence and he'll spend the next ten minutes talking about himself. Like the other day I told him I was thinking about a book of poetry. He spent the next 10 minutes telling me how one of his poems was made into a Mariah Carey song and he's got a meeting at the White House with Hillary Clinton about one of his other poems because she loves them so much and so does Bill, etc. And it's very obvious that he lies about everything that he has done and is doing and he does it to everyone. It's kind of annoying. All he had to say was good luck with your book and that would have sufficed. I really don't know why people have to do things like that, but it makes it really hard to become friends with them.

glad to hear that your boyfriend is your bestfriend. that is the same way i feel towards my wife. she is my bestfriend. i share all this personal joy with my siblings as well and my mother. the ugly part here is my father, he always puts us down. our father is a person who always put us down. he never praised us and he never appreciates what we do. he is always the better person and the intelligent one. i wont do that to my son. i will support him all the way.

Hi, betlynfrnds. Yes I do hate it when people are not happy to share with me on my excitement of accomplishments. When they are like this, I just don't bother with telling them anything. I will just tell someone else that is very proud of me when I do something great in my life. People that rub this in your face are just people that don't want to see you with anything and they are jealous. I know one woman that I can always go to that shares my joy in my accomplishments.

If I have something that I feel the spot light is on me then I will tell everyone and if anyone tries to break me down or tries to getting into a spitting contest I just look at them and apologize that I am happy for myself for the moment. I feel that I don't get too many of those moments in my life so I don't really care what anyone else around me says. Because I am honest like that and shut them down I usually find out who my true friends are, and who is just around me to make themselves feel good.

Yes,a lot of times. And it really hurts to kow that it's your family who drags you down.

I've actually never had a friend like that. Maybe it's because all my friends love me I guess hahah. But I know my boyfriend, whenever I tell him about someone else I know, If it's a male he would scoff at them and say that he's better. Maybe it's jealousy, but even so, I don't like him having that attitude about other guys I meet, especially when I'm good friends with them. It's kind of insulting.
