Real Signs Your Friend/Partner is Hating on you.

We’ve all heard the phrase “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” but in many cases our friends and our enemies are the same people, but we just don’t see it yet.  3 quick signs your friend/partner is hating on you.

1. Never seem happy for your success: You give these people good news and they never seem happy for you. It feels like they are forcing themselves to act like they actually give a damn that you are doing something for yourself. Worse of all, these people always have something negative to say or a smart ass comment to make. They are the first people to tell you that something won’t work or you shouldn’t do this or that.

2. It always about them: These people could care less about what you are doing but always expect you to listen to their laundry list of issues. Your issues are so-so but their issues are the best thing since President Obama. You constantly give these people advice and act as their part-time therapist. When the tables are flipped, good luck getting actual advice. You may hear generic statements such as “Things will be ok” or “Just keep pushing”. Never nothing in depth or from the heart.

Your relationship can’t be one sided and if they can’t give you equal attention to what’s going on with you, chances are they may be jealous and don’t want you to do well in the first place.

3. Constant Competition: Some people don’t see you as a friend but as someone they must compete with to prove they are important. Have you ever seen someone who stole your idea but didn’t give you the credit? What about someone who must top everything you do all the time?  I’m talking about that friend that sees you with a new skirt and they go out and get the same skirt, just in a different color and act like it was just a coincidence. How about the attention whores who must prove they are better than you at all cost. These are all examples of Constant Competition Haters.

If you have a friend/partner that are showing some of these signs, it may be time to re-examine your relationship with that person.
