Sometimes, I do worry about the kind of friends we now meet in nowadays life. It’s not that I’m perfect but friendship is all about being supportive of each other, especially in times of need. Of the friends we now have today, only a few are there to help while many are there to observe your downfall. This is the reason why I have had many experiences of meeting friends who have never been supportive of me but rather always expecting my downfall. I’ll be sharing why I hate such friends through what they did to me after I rendered help to them during the COVID-19 lockdown period in the year 2020.
During the COVID-19 period, I was actually a big boy because of the nature of the business I was doing. In this regard, money was never my problem because I was actually working from home as a freelancer where I make enough cash for COVID-19 lock-down survival. This was between 1Q20 lockdown. During this period of COVID-19 2020 lockdown that restricted all movement and work across the globe. Almost all the friends I had then were still struggling for survival because they just finished University and there was no job opportunity for them yet.
At this point, I was the only one among my friends that were making it in life during that period of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. Since my friends were not yet doing well and there was no way for them to survive the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. I decided to help but not knowing that I was actually making the worst mistake of my life. I took about 5 friends into my house in order for me to cater to their eating and other logistics during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. I was actually doing my best to make them happy and also not to make them feel inferior since I was the one providing for them.
Despite all, I was doing for my friends during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. I never knew that they were jealous of my success wanting for my downfall. But they never disclosed such a plan to me not until when I had a financial issue. Before then, my friends spent over 4 months with me during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown period and I can attest to catering for them all. When they all observed that I was facing a financial issue because the freelancing site where I was working from home was no longer functioning as usual. They all left my house and before they left Government has already disclosed that they should be partial movement.
Immediately after my friends left my house after the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, they started showing me what they were hiding. They never called or ask of how I was doing to survive my recent financial issue. Rather at my back, my friends were busy gossiping about me that during their stay in my house, I treated them badly, I was doing big boy for them because I was opportune to feed them during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. When I still heard my friends gossip about me, I reach out to them and they later told me that they were fine with me.
In June 2022, I had another financial issue again where almost my investment was scammed through Trustwallet cryptocurrency investment. At this point of time in my life, I was left with confusion and never knew what to do with life again. I have to reach out to my friends I helped during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. I pleaded with each and every one of them for financial support since they are already doing well with life. At this period, my friends told me they can’t help me even when I told them that I’ll pay them back the money after I must have invested in my physical business.
After my friends failed to support me financially especially when I needed it most, I was left with no option but to conclude that good friends are very hard to be with. I wonder why some friends are just jealous of their friend’s success. And I don’t think it’s actually good for friends not to support each other in life.
