Question how do you cope with success? I expected people to act a little funny once I started to actually achieve something. I expected this because of all the wise cracks I recieved while I was striving towards a dream. Now that that dream is close to fruition people I thought wouyld be happy seem distant, people I thought would care less are very happy and others who thought they wre better than me are acting shady. ( some because they fear I want their postions in goverment, and rightfully so....) The problem I am having is it's getting harder to tell friend from foe and to tell when someone is just testing you or really attacking you. How do you cope? ? George Cook www.letstalkhonestly.com

The subject of this post is "paranoid", but I don't think your concerns are unreasonable. You have every right to be suspicious because it's been my experience that most people that we come into contact with are not genuine. I can only imagine that gets even deeper when you are doing the kinds of things that you are doing with your life. All I can really say is trust your instincts. You will know if someone is truly being a friend. If there is the slightest doubt, there is probably a good reason to have doubt.

I know you are right but that is very sad that what you say is true. But that can lead to a very solitary existence.

George Cook www.letstalkhonestly.com Worrying about other people will only cause you to loose focus on your dream. You sound like everything you worked for is within your reach. Don't try to people please. You have a family? Focus on them. Let the people who are envious fall by the wayside.

I am not worrieed about other people at all. I am used to their negativity the problem is that some of those people will go from acting funny and talking negatively to actually trying to damage ones career once they realize they were wrong and have alienated themselves from my core group. It makes you watch your every move.
