 I’ve lost so many “friends” to envy. 

There were always signs from the beginning but I always ignored them to my detriment later on. 

Always trust your intuition on people it never fails you. 
 What if I’m just jealous of the tip touching? Still a dealbreaker? 
 I'd like to hear more details. Do you consider them lost when you sense envy? How much of a friend were they before that? 
 Sorry that has happened man, it happens as you get older and wiser Nico, and especially someone as yourself who is succesful! It sucks to lose (or give up) people you thought would be friends for life, but stay true to who you are, and you will find the rest is all just noise. I know that's exactly what you are saying. Those who don't grow, stay where they are, and those who grow leave them behind. 🤙
