[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much of this could be solved by just being more sensitive.  If your friend is complaining about having a 5 hour layover, you don't say "that is why we only fly on our private jet." If your friend is complaining living with three kids in an apartment is driving her nuts, that is not the time to say "I'm so glad we live in a home with two acres of land." And if you have a friend who is a widow worrying about making sure her son has enough male role models. You listen carefully, and ask questions. You don't say "yeah, I am so lucky my husband is healthy and is a great dad." Just keep those thoughts to yourself!!! And similarly, if your friend is complaining about the problems with her kids public school, that is not the moment to tell her you are switching to private. You can tell her another time.

Or you just be yourself and don’t self censor so aggressively.  If people are that jealous, cut them out…there are plenty of people—both successful and not—that will be happy for you and not haters.  Be friends with those type of  people not the ones you need to walk on egg shells with. [/quote]
