A situation happened to me a while ago...
When I used to make ads for my real estate company by myself. One of the people I was working with, I had made an ad for a property he was handling, and of course, I followed up with him daily on the ad's performance. The important part is, for the first three days of the ad, he kept telling me there were no calls at all. So, I decided to pause the ad to make some changes. The next day, he called me and asked, "Did you stop the ad?" I told him, "Yes, I’m making a new one." He responded, "Why? The ad was fine!" I asked, "How do you know it was good when there were no calls?"
At that moment, I had a million question marks in my head, and what’s even stranger is that he works with us, and the company was paying for the ad. After that, I confirmed that this person is the type I want to tell you about.
There are people at work who, no matter what you do, will never compliment you. Your work will always be "not good," and you can never take a step forward with them. The best thing you might hear from them, even if you perform a miracle, is "Not bad," or some other lukewarm phrase. Yet, they still want to keep you around and don’t want to let you go.
And in your social circle, you’ll also find people who will never give you a kind word or acknowledge how much you matter in their lives, but at the same time, they always want you around and can’t let go of you.
My advice to you is to escape from both types of people, and be the one to cut ties, because if you stay close to them for too long, you might start believing you’re nothing, and they’ll slowly destroy your self-confidence.
People who don’t show gratitude will make you feel humiliated if you continue in their lives.
This is not an invitation to get close to people who exaggerate your worth and abilities either, because you should also run from them. They will be the reason you start to get overconfident, and that’s when you’re finished.
