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?
Stop would be my advice.
Stop giving things to people who can’t be happy for you. Stop also doing non optimal things to help people.
People won’t thank you for it. I did the same for someone years ago only to find out I was being slagged off. I was lording it over people apparently.
I got him a job offshore at £400 a day for unskilled IT labour. Prior to that he was part time minimum wage. I though I was helping and it would feel like the jackpot. I even said I couldn’t manage him as I knew him but would make an intro and leave the rest to him.
It was an eye opening for me.
