I have a best friend and I always try to push him that he can do this and that.He is a successful person now.Now I am observing some changes in his nature like he emphasizes in discussions that he knows more than me on different things like that.Now my behavior for him changing as well I am not sure its jealousy or what...? Does it happen to you too?

He is my one and only friend very close to me.He is real true friend to me still but I am not feeling well with his changed behavior nowadays.Otherwise he is very nice and been with me always even in my worst time . .thats why it hurts more to see him changing but its ok if that keeps him happy and brings more happiness in his life.being a true real friend I will be with him when he needs me.

hi:)
I have a friend that like that before when I was in high school, she likes to join a beauty contest on our school, but she keeps on telling me that she's shy and she don't have things to wear, so I encourage her a lot and ask my aunt to sponsor her gowns and everything that she needed, because I want to help her and I can tell that she really wants to join and she also have potential to win, so in short she won and she got the second place, then after that because she earn more friends, she don't give time on me anymore, and she's already with other group and even if she see's me she just smile but don't bother to talk to me anymore because she's busy talking with her new friends, so that time I really regret helping her, but just now I realized that perhaps it's destined to happen.

Exactly they change and its hard to believe that they forget what his/her friend did to help him/her in everyways.Its confusing if they do it intentionally to avoid old friend and make new?? or its just we regret or may be feel jealous..
I think being jealous is not good but it can be justified at times :)

that's not a good thing,i never feel jealous of my friends success but sometimes people do these kind of poor activities as sometimes my friends even best friends feel jealous when i got more marks than them..its human nature we can't do anything for that...!

Oh,in school days yes it was very common with me too.Not only for marks but other things as well like not winning any debate or seeing the toppers getting appreciations from every teacher..but that was childhood and I dont think only I was thinking that way at that age.

hi,buleguy,i have a similar experience between me and my best college classmate which the feeling between us is mixed wtih jealous and lack of trust. a good friend is not easy to find and i had a long talk with each other and we now are still good friend. so you should have a talk with your ever good friend maybe there is some misunderstanding between you two. good luck and have a nice day.

I don't think its jealousy. Sometimes some people tend to feel overly happy about their accomplishments and unintentionally portray some behaviors which are negative towards other people. Maybe your friend is very happy about his success and doesn't know that he's doing something which is not good unintentionally. Try to observe him more and if he continues that kind of attitude maybe you should talk to him in a nice way that sometimes you get offended the way he talks to you. Hope I help you out.

Thanks in my case I think your observation is right may be he is not realizing what others are feeling because everything is going good with him.I want to stick to it and wait for him to be normal.
But generally its human nature I think.
