The Hidden Faces of Jealousy and False Support
You know that feeling when something just doesn't feel right? Like when you start to see that some people around you... they don't really want you to do well. It's weird because at first you don't notice it. It's like when you feel heavy but you can't understand why.
I work really hard for my things. I try to build something good, you know? I put everything I have into it. But then there are these people who smile at me, but inside... I think they want to see me fail. This is not a good feeling.
Here's what I learned - not everyone who says they are your friend actually want you to succeed. Some people stay close but for wrong reasons. They watch what you do. When things are easy, they say "oh good job!" But when you start doing better? When you start going up? They become so quiet. This quiet hurts a lot.
These people, they will find problems in everything you do. They try to make you feel small. But they still act like they support you. Their words... how can I say... they are like poison but hidden. Everything they do is planned. Deep inside them there is this jealousy that burns.
It's so much easier to break things than make them, right? It's easier to talk about other people's mistakes than look at your own problems. Some people never even try to make their life better. They just want to destroy what you made. They want to watch you fall because when you succeed, it makes them feel bad about themselves, they think maybe if they push you down, they will somehow go up. But this is not how life works.
This jealousy thing... it's like a sickness that spreads everywhere and kills real friendship.
I saw this happen to me. I lived this. The fake smiles ,the empty words that don't mean anything. The people who act nice but actually they put knife in your back. People who call themselves friends but really they just wait for you to fail. They tell you "don't give up!" but when you take one step toward success, where are they? Gone. Like they were never there.
In this silence, this dark silence, you finally see their real face.
This is what jealousy does. It doesn't just want you to fail. It wants you to question everything about yourself. It wants you to think maybe you are not good enough. Maybe your path is wrong. It wants to pull you down to their level. It's like a secret war in the shadows. The strong people stay quiet, and the loud ones just want to destroy.
But I learned something important: You can't let this darkness eat you. You can't let their jealousy decide how much you worth. There will always be people who hope you fail. People who never really support your dreams. But this is YOUR life. YOUR path. Nobody else should decide which way you go.
The problem is not you. Problem is with people who prefer to see you fall instead of seeing you fly. They will always be there, hiding, hoping bad things happen to you. But they don't get to decide if you are successful.
I think you felt this too. We all have. When someone betrays you quietly. When people give fake support. When you feel people rather watch you struggle than see you happy. This is just part of being human, I guess. There's always this dark thing running through groups of people. We have to see it, face it, and go above it.
So the real question is: Will you let their darkness cover your light? Or will you keep going forward, knowing your worth doesn't come from their jealousy, but from the strength inside your own heart?
By the way, I’ve met some of these people in the Steem community, and I advise you to be careful. They may seem friendly at first, but their true intentions will eventually reveal themselves. Stay aware, stay focused on your path, and surround yourself with those who genuinely want the best for you.
A picture with some of my friends – the opposite of the kind of people I described above. These are real friends who genuinely want the best for me, without expecting anything in return. They’re like brothers to me, and I’m truly grateful to have so many friends like them. As they say, there’s always good and bad everywhere. If you haven’t found the good yet, maybe you just haven’t recognized it, or maybe you’ve found it but didn’t realize it.

This is so true! Thank you.
his is exactly what I mean , it's MY journey. I choose who comes with me.
yes! I notice this happening already. When I focus on my goals and stop giving attention to fake people, they just... gone. Like magic.
I still struggle with looking back though. My brain always asking "but why they did this?" But maybe I don't need answer. Maybe I just need to keep going forward.

Verdaderamente admiro tu trabajo en Steemit. Has trabajado duro y en tan poco tiempo ya eres alto. Mis respetos.
He aprendido que la forma de las personas que mencionas aquí, sólo tienen poder sobre tí, si le das tu atención.
"El pensamiento es un imán" muy poderoso. Entonces, no le des poder a eso. Suéltalo.
Recuerda las sabías palabras: "se cosecha lo que se siembra".
Sigue adelante con tus proyectos.
Muchos éxitos 👍
Greetings dear!
It's a tough condition when we start realizing that not everyone around us has best interests at heart. Those fake smiles and quiet reactions when you are doing well can sting. The jealousy can be a toxic shadow in relationships. It twisting words into poison and hiding true intentions behind fake smiles. It is a great reminder that not everyone who says they are with you wants to see you soar.
I think everyone has people in their life who seems supportive on the surface but not genuinely with them at heart. They want our downfall. I have had those kinds of people too in my life. Now , I have made a point to step back from them a lot.
