Hi all,
I’ve noticed a trend with some of my friends and family that I’m wondering if you can relate to. Basically when people meet me they make a snap judgement about who I am based on how I’m going in my life at the time. Oftentimes in the past I haven’t been doing so well, so they may have felt sorry for me or felt superior.
But because I am an INFJ with faith in myself and the capacity to improve, I start to do better in life. Eventually I succeed and branch out from the little box they have put me into. And I find that’s when the trouble starts - people don’t seem to be happy for my successes and sometimes their noses seem quite out of joint. They certainly don’t want to help me build on initial gains.
I’m just wondering if any of you experience this, and if so how you handle it? I have dumped friends for it in the past, but I am wondering if there is another way.
thank you!
