“Oh, you should talk to my uncle’s friend’s daughter. She knows a lot about that industry.” On the surface, it sounds like they’re offering to help, but in reality, their advice or connections are completely useless.

It’s like they’re just trying to check the “I helped” box without contributing anything valuable. The offer is hollow, and deep down, you know it won’t move the needle for your success.

8. They Downplay Your Dreams

“That’s a cute side thing you’re doing.” Cute? Really? You’ve put so much heart and soul into this project, and they’re seeing it as just a little hobby. It can feel like they’re not quite recognizing your efforts and the importance of your accomplishments.

This downplaying is a sign of jealousy. By calling it a “side thing,” they might not fully appreciate what you’re building. But remember, your dreams are valid, no matter how they perceive them.

9. They Only Reach Out When They Need Something

It’s interesting how some people only check in when they need something. Suddenly, they’re reaching out, asking for favors or connections, without a simple “Hey, how’s your project going?” It feels like a transactional relationship for them.

They’re not really invested in your success unless there’s something in it for them. This behavior suggests they’re more focused on what they can gain rather than truly supporting your journey.
