Is it okay to have rivalries?

Absolutely. You’ll always have that one friend who secretly hates your success. I have one, but our contact is non existent as of now. Would always poke and prod for my current affairs and position in life

This does not go toxic? It has never harmed you or something? You're never stressed by it?

Man it’s definitely toxic. I mean we get along, but there is an unseen kind of negative chemistry. He’s always testing with questions trying to either degrade me or find a way to be socially higher than me. It’s very annoying in its own way. If women are present, he’ll find a topic to use against me if I answer it negatively in his favor.

I'm trying to avoid people who often judge me for the pettiest things I've done. They have their own set of moral standards that I do not and cannot conform to.

The only moral standards that I try to comply with are those found in the Bible.

If you think I'm a bad person, then I am not your friend. And I don't have to be the person you want me to be or do things you want me to do, just because you think I'm always wrong.

I hope I can air my side to explain my actions and decisions but you've had your prejudgments already and they're all wrong.

If I'm not hanging out with you anymore, it's because I don't enjoy your company and you have the habit of gossiping about people --- I don't like that.
