Friends jealous

I have a business and have worked my ass off for 4 months since leaving my partner. I put up a picture of my new car and my best friend didn't even send a message back. Don't know what to think. One friend replied and she didn't. Not sure I should of said anything now but i was so happy to get it with working 12 hour days etc. I feel I am moving up and she doesn't like it. Any advice please.

I’m not on social media and rarely use WhatsApp. In June I bought a brand new high spec Mercedes, paid for in full. Just this month my husband bought a brand new high spec bmw, again paid for in full.

I doubt anyone of our friends have noticed, I just don’t care, and I hope they wouldn’t too. We buy cars we like because they are our treat, we have other cars too for weekend fun but these are our daily drivers, and although I’m proud of the position we are in I wouldn’t feel the need to broadcast it

Sorry OP but sometimes this can come across as bragging. Posting a picture of your new car is a bit naff and I wouldn’t give a stuff either 🤷🏻‍♀️

Rachel the great. - stop destroying the planet. One car per person is more than enough consumerism.

Whether I have one car or 10 cars, the mileage travelled is the same

The metal and materials used are not the same.

True.

But once used they may as well be bought and enjoyed

If she is your best friend, and this is a huge milestone achievement in your life, why does she need to be checking her social media to find out about it? Don’t you speak to each other?

VetInAVat · 27/08/2021 07:45

Oh hun, yeah, she's well jel innit.

My advice would be to your friend to move on from this friendship. You seem to want her to be jealous of you.

With sports alloys and lowered suspension.

You sound like hard work OP
Your coming across as shallow and your friend not responding doesn’t mean she’s jealous, she might just find it cringey?

ItsSunnyOutside · 27/08/2021 09:00

This does not sound real to me

Marineboy67 · 27/08/2021 09:16

Exactly just like click bait, the fact she hasn't responded tells you all you need to know.

My first thought from this post was that you do MLM. If that's the case, I wouldn't be interested either and would mute you from my timeline.
