Oddbean new post about login | logout As you grow wealthier you’ll discover that very few people have your back. Success holds a mirror up to those around you. Most people don’t like the reflection.
They are actively praying for our downfall , only for that negativity to come back at them and limit their future success
After reflecting on it a bit I think what happens is that you basically have an unwritten contract to stay losers together. Your success breaks the contract. This understandably ruffles some feathers. That’s said, I don’t forgive. Once you show your cards that you’re disloyal I drop you like hot garbage.
Agreed, It’s the same reason why strangers support us more than friends. Friends started at the same place and it forces them to reflect on their own failures. Bitcoin is such a friendship killer lol they get so salty even tho we tried to save them. It’s like Thomas sowell said it best “people will forgive you when you’re wrong, but not when you’re right and it proves their position incorrect”
Bro I literally led multiple people to the promised land. Minted millionaires. Only to watch people fumble it at the goal line. So frustrating. I learned through it all not to intervene. I’m happy to offer advice if asked these days, but mainly just stay quiet.
Can only lead the horse to water, not make them drink. It is lonely at the top, can only relate to internet friends. Bt was lucky to have us 😂 def put our time in
That's why in person meetups and conferences are so important
Love to find a thread that covers somehow how i feel. I can only give the advise to not reflect this directly to new people coming into your life. But yes. Unhonesty hurts and in this case i'm not forgiving as well. Good to see that there are others thinking the same. I always rate people for how they act. That's my learning. Staying quiet seems to be like taking a rest of all this.
Word. Have to be ruthless out there. If roles were reversed, do you think they would care about us? Lol. They have nothing and they are already selfish and entitled about it. I love when their true colors come out, it makes it easy to cut them out
It’s hard. I learned a lot from much of the “garbage” along the way. I can forgive a mistake that is made when asked for forgiveness. But repeated dishonesty eventually breaks through and true colors emerge. I choose to distance myself from that life and those colors.
hard to admit, but this has also been my experience. Hard lesson.
Deep. Well said.
I know a couples guys that do well financially. One is a chiropractor and so is his wife, they do very well. The other is a tiler and just got left an inheritance. He does well with his tiling business regardless of the inheritance though. I ride snowmobiles with these guys in the winter time and SXS’s in the summer. I do ok with my landscaping business, but nowhere near the money these guys have. If these guys need a hand with anything, I’m there for them if it’s possible to do so. They would also do the same for me. I personally don’t want a shitload of money to have to figure out what to do with, invest in, protect it etc. I don’t want rich people problems, I just want simple. I have very few friends these days and I’m very selective about who I let into my life and hang around with. My phone barely rings, even with the business lol.
