Since I’ve started getting my shit together (taking hobbies, lifting religiously, having better social medias), people around me are trying to downplay my achievements in various fields in a not direct way between the lines. I know I shouldn’t give a fuck about what they think but I can’t help myself getting mad.

What I’m asking is how can I stop getting affected this easy? I can’t cut them down because I’ve already narrowed my circle and they don’t do this all the time.
