My best friend isn't supporting when I went my own way

Friends are the most jealous people on earth. It's unfortunate but not everyone but a good portion of friends don't want you to have a more interesting life than them. I've honestly never had a friend where when I shared cool news he didn't have a noticeable disappointed look on his face. The eyes never lie, you can see when someone is thinking negative thoughts in their head. Don't listen to him most people only care about themselves. You should only care about yourself too.

If your friend does not want to see you succeed, then he is no friend of yours. Leave him. There are many people out there that are positive and supportive.

Real friends support your accomplishments and decisions. I have a longtime best friend from childhood that I met at the age of 3 or 4 years old and we kept in touch ever since even though I lived oversees for most of my childhood and our friendship is very strong, I managed to prove him the truth about feminism with some Ben Shapiro videos in early 2018 and showed him MGTOW and would say he is a purple piller now, and he would be MGTOW if he was convinced with experience, he doesnt know all that I know though so he wants to get in a relationship to make sure what I was telling him was true. I think there is a high chance of him going back to the plantation but he is also very resistant from the control of others and the exact opposite of naive so I cant tell 100%, we will see what happens.

Anyways, since 2015, I have been telling him everything that I do, he saw me go through different phases in different subjects and he supported me all the way through even though he noticed that I changed my mind a lot in the past. A friend like him is very rare in this world, we never fought and he never betrayed me..

My point is you should get yourself some close friends and avoid trusting other people, dont let people shame you and only befriend those who support you and value you. Those who dont do these things arent real friends.

Do not give other people power over your life they do not have to live with the consequences of your actions. If you look yourself in the mirror and you are unhappy change your circumstances.

You say "my best friend of many years" duration of a friendship doesn't matter. If he doesn't support your choices anymore you need to evaluate why he doesn't. If you find his view to be different from yours it's time to back off.

There are a lot of people in this world you can meet along your own path maybe even someone one a similar path.

My own personal experience is losing 6 best friends and 1 soul mate to "life". I sacrificed everything for my soul mate and got left for something better in the end. (I gave away so very much to other people who in the end had their own plan). Now I'm free from thinking people will always be by my side or have my back. I am the master of my destiny

I think you can take this as a sign to ditch your friend. Crabs in a bucket and all that.

When I moved into his neighborhood, my married acquaintance got all buddy buddy. "we can have beers every sunday." "come to my house on sunday"

"are you going to settle down now too?"

Nope. I said.

"Aw man I can't make it my wife is mad again."
