There have been times when I have been doing really badly in life. I have been broke and unemployed. Several times I have had to pull myself out of really bad situations.

There are other times when I was doing well in life. When I managed to get a well paid job, have some good friends etc.

I have found that everytime that I better myself and get ahead in life, that I get attacked by someone. These people are always doing worse in their life than I am at the time.

So for example one time in my early thirties, I got a well paid good job and I was doing well.

A man that i know in my friendship group (friend of a friend ) had just been dumped by his girlfriend and he had gone back to college so wasn't earning Amy money.

He kep sneering at me about my job, he said that it was a "shitty little job". He kept knocking me down. He made me feel bad. I and to stop hanging around with him.

Amy time that anything good has happened in my life, I've always encountered someone like this. Things arent going well in their life and they get jealous and want to destroy your happiness. Do you know what I mean.

I feel I've never really go to happy moments in my life, because I always encounter jealous people who want to knock me down when I'm doing well.

Thought this was going to be about gas and electric! Think you need new friends OP, if they are criticising your job.

You seem to be treated badly by every single person you’ve ever met in your life… I’m thinking you should maybe look at the common denominator?

The people who put you down and made you feel bad during the happy times in your life were as jealous as sin, because you acomplished something they want which they had lost.

The guy who was negative and trying to pull you down to his level is a drain, and the longer you spend in the conpany of those, like him, who drain you the less happy you will feel.

Pull away from people like captain bug*er nuts and don't give them the time of day and you'll feel more positive and happier. Surround your self with people who inapire you.
