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?
It’s called “projecting”. They are projecting all their internal fears anxieties insecurities onto you subconsciously through these things they say and do.
It’s just human nature. I don’t hold it against them, but I also choose to not spend time with them. I need all the positive energy I can get to move the business forward. Dangerous to allow myself to be around excess negativity.
