[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a 90% chance she’s right. [/quote]

There's a high statistical chance that OP's business venture will fail because most businesses fail. That doesn't mean her friend was right. To be honest, it sounds like her friend was just triggered by some aspect of the business and was just ranting out her a$$ about it, because OP didn't share enough info with her to have a reasoned opinion on the business.

I also think there's a chance that the friends was so negative because hearing about OP's new venture made her feel envious or left behind or something. I say this because it's sometimes a feeling I have when a friend tells me about something new and exciting in their life, if I might be in a more stagnant place. I think it's a normal emotional response. But feeling that way is one thing, responding to it by crapping all over your friend's new business is another. I am self-aware enough that when this happens to me, I recognize it as a message that I need to do things that are exciting in my own life, not criticize the exciting thing happening in my own life.[/quote]
