An aspect I became well aware of in the fields I’ve been in off and on since childhood beings will fish to pick fights with people who are quality/have what it takes etc people so that person will show out in not a favorable way in order to make that person look poorly and or spread defamation by the owed reaction or just to hassle so as to keep people they are threatened by from doing anything, never give into that. Always keep it stepping. Those that believe they have a pedestal with that crabs in a bucket mentality are deeply insecure/afraid those they zero in on will come to take their spot and or more which they’re going to lose sooner or later anyway be it by age, change of times, death anything. Life goes forward. That’s part of life. You can’t maintain anything forever. That’s why they put any amount of anything to set people up they hone in on and or deem to. That’s why they may watch but don’t support nor make contact like a true professional would. As aforesaid they’re not interested in giving anyone a leg up or opportunity to anything they’re interested in people having their place. They’re alright with those they don’t view as competition but the moment those of that mindset have knowledge of someone who is better than them at something they will deem to make a problem. It’s The crabs in a bucket mindset they never shed. They live their lives in survival-of-the-fittest-chip-on-the-shoulder-someone’s-trying-to-take-something-from-me mindset even when that is far from the case. When people are better than them in some way or many ways that’s why they have to combat and attempt to grand stand. They are actually deeply afraid insecure beings. It’s like “Who are you trying to convince everyone else or yourself?” Secure real people just simply are they don’t have to attempt to grand stand and believe someone being better than them in some way is somehow a contrived intentional affront towards them. You see that everywhere but especially in the Urban or underground sectors. They live like ravenous dogs most often when it comes to that. They are very insecure and cut throat. That’s often how if you dig deep enough most of them gained anything by being that way with and towards everyone. If they aren’t supporting or being professional ignore. Do not be roped into that negative exchange. Professionals will make contact in a professional way be it to work with you or some issue not play ignorant games on social media and won’t have a problem liking your things or engaging forthrightly in some way. They don’t have a problem coming correct to those they eyeball for that reason let alone if you have management rather on some professional no snake anything “What can I do to enhance your career? Is there any way I can assist? What do you want to do in life?”
Otherwise when in doubt always ignore and keep it moving. A way to gauge this when this occurs try being supportive , giving a compliment, and or cordial you will see the oddity in behavior and lack of requite. It is like when someone follows you around but means you no good when or if they are confronted. The reason they act funny and they usually won’t say anything because well they don’t mean you any good ultimately. 🤷🏽♀️ This is especially true if you’ve gauged them making snide remarks and or being negative about anything that is accomplished by the person they’ve caused a problem with. Always having something to say or do being a jack a$$ basically.
