Paranoid

[GLC 3]

Question how do you cope with success? I expected people to act a little funny once I started to actually achieve something. I expected this because of all the wise cracks I recieved while I was striving towards a dream.

Now that that dream is close to fruition people I thought would be happy seem distant, people I thought would care less are very happy and others who thought they wre better than me are acting shady. ( some because they fear I want their postions in goverment, and rightfully so....)

The problem I am having is it's getting harder to tell friend from foe and to tell when someone is just testing you or really attacking you.

How do you cope????????

I ain't there yet, but when I arrive I'll have answer to your question.:wink:

What I did in the past is lean forward a bit.I made a list of all the people that were in my circle.I examined their character and also what they were bringing positive to me.The ones that did not fit what I needed were cut off with a reason why I did it.The reason was very simple. It takes a ton of energy to work on your dream and anything negitive will stress you out.Once done,The paranoid feelings vanished.

I am currently at that place where so many things are finally coming together all at the same time. It's an unbelievable feeling and like yourself GLC3, I have become a bit paranoid. People can be really envious and though they are congratulating you, the look in their eyes can be saying something to the contrary. That's been my experience. Some people that have been close to me in the past have become detached. I guess they feel as though we used to dream together, (in my case it was about being in business and now i'm working on a book) and now they are seeing my dreams manifest in reality whilst they are stuck in the same place in their lives.

You should be greatful for the ones who show you that they are envious because you immediately know them for who they are. Just remain true to those who've remained true to you through the thick and the thin. If you were seeing someone before you made it i say keep that woman. It will make things a lot easier for you . You'll be fine bruh, just keep doing your thing.
