So Today I was telling my so-called friends who happen to be my colleagues too and who are literally so nice to my face that I couldnβt do well in my competitive exam, that I knew the answers but cuz of time constraints, J couldnβt attempt those. The girl said in her regional language that βHollow Lentils make more noiseβ,and they are 6 yrs elder to me and I am doubting myself a lot after that. I feel I am stupid to trust everyone and trust that everybody is good and is my friend
I didnβt understand

There are two people in my office team and I always treated them like my own family. I was telling them about my exam and how I knew the answers but couldnβt answer cuz of time constraints so one of them said " Hollow lentils make more noise" which means that I donβt know anything, I am just trying to act all smart and knowledgeable. The thing is stuck in my head.
Ignore their words, where are you from β¦ I didnβt understood that hollow thing
Astray @astrayheart
Itβs an idiom, she said it in her own language so I couldnβt understand and that friend of hers understood who was on the call. And he blabbered that she was saying this thing
Treat them normally not as friend
What exam are you talking about
Astray @astrayheart
There was a competitive exam, I really wanted to crack it. I didnβt sleep for so many nights just to study and they know that I get affected easily and still she chose to say this
They donβt know how the exam was and they know nothing about it so let them say whatever they wanna say. It hurts but itβs better to let go of what they said. Sometimes people are like we canβt do anything about those traits
*sometimes people are like that, we cannot do anything about those traits of them
Astray @astrayheart
Yeah, I j
Try to make myself stronger. Here in ny team, they know me as a person who is over sensitive and who cries iver little things, someone who is rebellious and adamant. They can never understand the past trauma behind it. I try not to be weak but I just cry so easily, I hate this about myself π

Iβd only say one thing to you
Youβll never see a hater doing better than you.
Donβt let othersβ doubts creep up to your confidence. You are doing good but donβt stop working harder.
Astray @astrayheart
Right, it just hurts that these are the people who I thought were my friends and they legit understood me and my vulnerabilities. I wonder how people can be so unkind and mean
Raza Khan @thegentleguide
Itβs gonna always happen. Most people you think are your friends arenβt your friends. Thatβs the reality. Everyone who smiles and laughs with you isnβt your friend mate. Gauge a person carefully before making them your friend, thatβs my rule.
Astray @astrayheart
I just get so greedy when it comes to making friends that I hold on to them thinking that maybe I am wrong. I got betrayed so many times in the past that I was left with no friends at one point and now that I talk to these peeps, I wanted them to be my friends always
Raza Khan @thegentleguide
I want you to get affected by what Iβm saying rather than feel bad.
You need attention and the constant need of someone with you. Stop impressing people who you donβt want around you to talk to who wonβt talk to you at all. Keep your circle small.
I know how it feels. Two things here, one dont consider everyone as your friends. Think twice before giving someone that place. And second you have to stop trusting everyone blindly, ask questions before trusting someone.

I am working on this everyday, I hope one day I stop being gullible
Dont you have good friends? keep a small friend circle and always share only with them. Rest just keep it formal, take time before trusting anyone
