How do you feel when you worked so hard for something and you got it but there are people who feel jelous about it. And this people are those who are close to you, your relatives and friends. Those who have the same experience as mine share with me.

We cannot control them to get jealous about all accomplishment we have. Whether we accept it or not there are times that our friends are not happy with our accomplishments because they might afraid that we will be successful than them. All we have to do is to stay our feet on the ground and take care of all the success we've got. Opportunity knock only once, i'm sure we have grab it off and as far as we can do we would take care of it. Don't let other's will rule you but be equal.

that's normal. of course it's sad when people we expect to be happy for us would be envious instead. however, don't let that take away your joy, it just means you have something they don't have. thank God and pray for those people, and just enjoy your blessing and try to share it with them.

Yes I do so. I always pray for others and hope they will succeed in their life no matter how they feel about me. If they succeed, I'm happy for them.

My dad was always jealous of my success as a writer. He tried, but didn´t do well at all. I find it very frustrating, because I think that parents should be proud and encouraging of their children, not compete with them. But whenever one of us did something very well, my dad would try to do better, whether writing, drawing or whatever. I´ve gotten to the point in my life that it just isn´t worth dealing with jealous people. I no longer speak to my father and things are much easier.

Well i guess my case are better than yours coz my parents have been supportive all the time towards me. Well it's just those relatives and some friends who are jealous. Well I agree with you, parents should be encouraging their children and not discouraging them. Well I hope situation gets better for you.

There is not much you can do about it. If they are jealous of you it is their problem and not yours. However, I know how their gossip hurts as they will invent lies about you. It is very painful.

Sometimes I do think the same. It's not my problem if they are jealous because I worked hard for what I've achieved but as you mentioned the gossips do hurt and the way they look at you... mmm... no words to mention it.
