I run a modestly successful small gardening business. It took me a year to really get it going properly. For context im in my 30s and have worked in really demanding jobs to get into a position to start something.

Ever since I went full-time my sibling has had this attitude like I just won the lottery and wont share. Other people have also started acting like im driving around in a RollsRoyce with a monocle, I don’t really get it.

I give my sibling left over gardening supplies and i’ve sub contracted another friend who lost their job. Trying to share my success when I can. Whats with the hostility? Have other people experienced this kind of thing?

    40 years ago, my grandfather said to me:

    “You’re never be criticized by someone doing better than you”

    This is one of his sayings that I’ve found to be true as I’ve lived my life.

      You’ve never had someone doing better than you, criticize you? Lucky.

        “It’s not that I’m doing better than you, it’s just that I AM better than you.” - People that be like that sometimes.

        No.

        I’ve had them mentor me and guide me, but nothing I would classify as criticizing.
