[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 747586, member: 4152"] I’ve had a lot of weird experiences with people being jealous of me or something very similar to jealousy. Two of the closest people in the world to me (souse and a parent) have told me this repeatedly. I find this (folks jealous of me ) toxic in a way. They are not happy when things go well for me. Rejoice when I have problems. WTH? What am I to do? I’ve made some good choices in my life that have been helpful. But I also have some crummy health problems and a Difficult Child. Life isn’t perfect. I have my heartache too. I tend not to complain. (On this site I let lose a little though) Bottom line...do I remove myself from all these toxic (jealous) people? There wouldn’t be too many left. I was going to start a thread on this. I DO remove myself though from vicious mean spirited people who cause lots of pain and I particularly don’t like chronic liars and gossipers. A few others I have just kind of stepped back a bit. The grey area people. I have a long term friend who was very nice for years and then turned very jealous for years. I put her in the pulled back category. Not truly toxic...but not so hot either. Ugh. PS I like that part if the toxic person tries and truly attempts to abide by your boundaries that might be different. But if not, it’s fine to walk away. [/QUOTE]
