I have a friend who used to be my best friend and study partner. Since beginning I used to be the best performing guy. There was a healthy competition between both of us. After education, when we entered the professional world, he ignore me for a year. That ignorance was basically he trying to focus on his goal. At that time I was going through a lot; having an alcoholic roommate, me becoming a porn addict, felt homesick, etc etc.
We both always to wanted to start a business. I am still doing job, earning handsomely good, but he started his own business. I decided I will add more skills to myself by learning how to code but each day this feeling of being deprived by my friend, jealousy that he is doing better than me, is eating me alive. Despite having time and resources, I am not dedicating myself to learn the new skills that might be a gamechanger 1 year down the line.
Whenever we talk on call, he always talks very nicely. I feel he has become a bug distraction in my life. How do I get rid of him? Would ignorance be a right thing to do or make me look small? How do I accept that he did well and keep going forward with my pursuit of success?
