How come my friends change their personalities when I change?

[jt the azn]

Somehow, I feel that some of my friends are starting to like me less. Whenever I do something DJ, or something very alpha, they seem to hate that. I could read their reactions through their body language. Is this normal? By the way, it is the ones who used to be more alpha than me who are hating me more.

I try to fix the situation by acting aloof to it. I also do not question why they feel that way. I act as if I did not notice anything. I also don't try to change their minds. Instead, I try to change their mood around me. Is this the correct way to deal with alpha males who used to be more alpha than you are?

Its the crabs in a barrel phenomenon my man.

They see you pulling yourself up and they just want to pull you back down with them because of their jealousy.

If they mean a lot to you have a talk with them and if things don't improve you are better off finding a new group of friends.
