So i have a friend his name is paul who me and him have been friends since we grew up together. Anyways I got into the TRP around 2014 and I became a supervisor at my workplace & met a girl who was 4 years older than me. The relationship was super toxic and eventually ended with her creating a trauma bond with me to keep me from leaving (while she got pregnant).

Anyways during this period where I was "alpha as fuck" paul and me had a little problem (him being very beta and depressed) tried to show me that he was above me and wanted to control me. So basically I disagreed with him and caused many of our mutual friends would agree that I am more alpha. (which sent him into a deep depression and caused him to drop out of school).

Eventually paul joined my workplace and became a supervisor himself (when I left) and even started dating a girl who was 6 years older than him! And even joined the military for what I study in school. During all of this he was very aggressive towards me and even tried to turn many of my friends against me & would have people lie on his behalf towards me saying things like "Oh paul made $20,000 trading fb stocks" & just other bullshit like that to even lying about how much he made at his workplace.

So my question would be why would someone who literally copies everything you do from
Workplace, to dating a girl much older than himself, to joining the military for what I study in school, attempt to turn my friends against me and act super aggressive towards me?
