What do you do when people hate your success and try to sabotage your life?

Question

I just wonder how you folks deal with it. This is by far not the first time in my life this is taking place, but how do you make it through the envy-jellously casted forth by people that are close or not close? I am getting somewere in my life, and my alcohollic landlord can't stand it. I have gotten this at times from family members. I just like to know your survival stratagy in this.

Answer 1

I experienced this from my own sister. I survived by cutting her out of my life. I survived by becoming a loner, only partaking in social events which were positive for my spirit. I've experienced negativity almost my entire life, and I'm finally beginning to learn how to listen to my inner self. If someone or something does not feel right with my energies, I leave the situation as fast as I can, and don't look back.

First thing you've got to realize, is that the people who do that to others are BULLIES, and they are everywhere you go- the bank the Dr's office, the post office, the Grocery store, your neighbor. LEARN TO SPOT THEM - they are the ones who spread viscious rumors about their victim's character, and when others don't know any different about you they believe what their told, just as you might about someone else. If they gossip about someone else, they're doing it to you too. Once you recognize who they are stay away from them altogether as they're always on the prowl for a victim, particullarly seeking those with descency and self-esteem, because these type of people are a threat to the bully, and because bullies are so sneeky, its next to impossible to catch them since they enlist the help of several other weak souls like them. Some other tips- they are usually women, though not always- they are usually the person in authority- the boss or the boss's assistant. They are the popular one that no one likes in secret, but are afraid to step out and away from for fear of being bullied themselves. As I said AVOID them at all costs, and don't be fooled into sharing your personal life with them, they are not your friend,and not only that, they almost never have a conscious!!

When U are success full people feel U dont need help and they often are good at helping and not so good at encouragement and how to deal with it if at all.Therefore they come on as jealous to a stronger one. And your strength in your success is on a roll so they figure U ,can continue to deal with it, so if they through a few little harmless bumps your way ,you can by now handle it too.Hence the espression(friends and family) We are our own worse enemies.;
