Crabs in a bucket mentality. I saw it a lot when I stopped drinking, and again when I lost a lot of weight. A strange human habit.

GFY is the best answer to crap mentality

💯

Didn't know about this "mentality".

Sad for them.

Fortunately, I am not influenced by this. But this is really bad for those people who can be pulled back by this.

It made things harder for me for sure, having people always second guess what I had chosen to do. In the end I succeeded though, 100lb lost and kept off for a decade, still sober too! I learned something about setting goals and perseverance .

That is great! Great job nostr:npub1m64hnkh6rs47fd9x6wk2zdtmdj4qkazt734d22d94ery9zzhne5qw9uaks! 🔥🔥

I think if you can succeed in such environment, you will get a stronger personality, because you know people will try to pull you back.

But if you don't get through, you will only start to doubt yourself even more.
