It is hard to deal with, but its something that most people are far more envious about. Most people wish that they had the self control or ambition to get in the weight room, to lift, and to do it constantly.
It was like when I was younger, and I used to break my buddies’ balls when they were trying to quit smoking. “Oooo this new pack smells good…” Eventually, they would start back up…maybe not because of me, but I certainly didn’t help them.
Now, if someone wants to quit, I’ll smoke outside, or not at all, around them. Them quitting is far more important than my smoke; this leads me to believe its a simple maturity issue. The more mature, the more likely they are to help you out in your goals.
I don’t agree that you should find new friends, being as the guys I know would lay down in traffic for me, and thats not something I will trade away because they drink and I wont. Just let them know they’re being childish.
Otherwise, they’ll be able to tell you’re better off when you’re getting laid far more than they are. They will change their tune then.
Best advice I can give is that you must become comfortable with you and what you do.
If you are comfortable and confident in that, In training, nutrition,etc… in the LIFESTYLE you choose. Then honestly it wont matter what anyone thinks or say be them friends or the average Joe. It will be a NON-issue you are simply doing what is right for you. Also by having and displaying that confidence. Obviously not questioning yourself and what you choose. Not showing that weakness for them to attack, No BLOOD for the sharks to smell. then more often than not they wont question what you are doing or try and sway you.
It is when there is a sing of weakness that they try and convert you. they see it as a challange that is rerachable to get you to be weak and break down.
Sad but true,
Get Firm and comfortable yourself and portray that and 99% of the time with that confidence you wont be questioned or challanged in anything you choose.
first and foremost if they want to see you fail,fuck them,they arent your real friends.find someone who will support what your doing,or just go rouge for awhile.
i stay in on the weekends quite a bit and my friends always stare at me when i say “i was too sore”,“i had to be able to get up the next morning”,“i didn’t want to see your fatass” and the like(last one isnt supposed to offend anyone,i use fatass and fag and shithead and fucker-end disclaimer)
i’ve actually had some guys in my weight class at school accuse me of taking steriods because my weights doesnt plateau like theirs,which is stupid cause i dont look big at all
back to the point though,i used to be real nice and crap too but when i realized i was surrounded by fake people i got mean.i told them all…i dont wanna type that many curses but what im i what you to understand is,friends can be made no matter what,ditch these people and go find some new ones
There is a huge difference between someone actually appearing to want you to fail…and someone making jokes and giving you a hard time because of it. The latter is just how guys act.
