Most people prefer you broken. It makes them feel superior. When you struggle, they offer advice. When you succeed, they offer silence.

In this episode, we break down the dark psychology of "supportive" friends who turn into saboteurs the moment you level up.

We cover:

• The Savior Trap: Why they loved you when you were miserable.

• Concern Trolling: How "be realistic" is actually a suppression tactic.

• The Mirror Effect: Why your growth insults their stagnation.

• The Good News Test: A simple way to identify enemies in your circle immediately.

Stop apologizing for your growth. Start cutting the dead weight.
