I have a close friend for the past 20 years, we met in school but there is a problem. She is very critical of my life. The reason is that I work on a contract basis, very hard and then take long breaks to travel. The career she chose requires her to be at home 12 months a year but she has a pretty good life. My parents died many years ago & left myself & siblings some savings so I have a backup which she doesn't. Nevertheless, I took a more difficult career, worked my head off for years & made prudent investments. Also, I date a lot more than her and look a lot younger (many people comment on this). She said to me that she couldn't date a guy like my last boyfriend as he 'earns less than me'. I pick my friends/boyfriends for their person, not for their wallet. She would love to quit work and live from a guy. She always tries to get me to cut my hair (she has short hair) but I prefer long. The bottom line is, there are many differences in our outlooks and values. Her comments get me down as she is negative & very unhappy. I just told her I'm planning my next travel break (working holiday for months) and her reaction was 'silence'. What's her problem? Important- I don't have this problem with ANY other friends! They support & are happy for me.

What is this friend's problem? Why can't she be happy at my Free Spirit lifestyle?

What's the point to a friend who's not a true friend? I had a very close friend die and someone who I thought was a best friend turn their back on me (for a legitimate reason, they got married and his wife didn't want him talking to or knowing any girls, she's paranoid, but I respect her decision). One thing I've learned is that true friends are always going to be real, true friends, and the ones that aren't.....well, they're not really worth your time.

Ha ha she is SOOOOOOOOO jealous of you!!!
She is green with envy.
Dont cut your hair, she is jealous of your looks and wants to make you look less attractive. Dont listen to her. Dont get upset by what she says. When she gives negative comments just smile to yourself because you know she is just so jealous of you.

She's Jealous. She would be more comfortable if you had the same life as her. She wants you to share in her misery.
