Subtle signs your friend is jealous of you...

A few things I've learned as signs over the years that I didn't realize before: 1. They give you bad advice on purpose Example: Convincing you to not take an opportunity for career growth or take a job that that could be good for you. Or advising you to respond to something in a way that will get you fired and/or reprimanded. 2. They bring up your past mistakes or embarrassing moments (Especially in front if others) Example: You got fired or laid off from a job and they bring up that traumatic experience casually to put you in a bad mental space. 3. They put a negative spin on something positive in your life to get you to view it negatively. Example: "I don't see how you work at *Microsoft*, I would've quit a long time ago. Knowing that is an amazing company with great benefits. 4. They want to isolate you from others and solely emotionally depend on them or not make new friends. What do you think are some signs of a jealous friend that may not be so obvious initially?

I'd cut that so called friend off. Remember enemies aren't always known to all of us. It good be our closes one no matter how much they're good with u. There's always doubled faces of every person.

@Anza Agreed. This is just a post to help others who may not be aware of those signs.

Big time on number 2! It's one thing to bring it up in small company for a laugh, but I had a supposedly close friend bring up some personal stuff to some guys we just met. She was mad because the one she liked, like me and because I was her "fat friend," this was completely unacceptable. That night opened my eyes to the times she did it before, so I gave it back hard. We aren't all that close anymore, but I feel like there was some growing up and we have a more mutual understanding now.

@Lacey That exact thing happened to me with a childhood friend that's how I recognized the sign. We were on a double date and apparently she couldn't stand the attention I was getting.
