7 Signs Someone Is Threatened By You
They may be smiling when they see you, but do they actually see you as a threat?
My husband was a full-time DJ…until the people in the local scene collectively decided to stop booking him. They kept offering to rent his equipment, often asking him to pay his own entrance at the club.
Things got worse. Soon, people were trying to book him for free, often at slots that were for newcomers. My husband is not a newcomer and actually gained recognition from international headliners for his work. He deserved a better slot.
Eventually, people started saying that his popularity was based on his looks. They accused him of being fake or having me carry him through his career. The people who did this got very two-faced with us, so we left.
We were told by multiple people, in no uncertain terms, that certain people were jealous of him and felt threatened by his success. That’s fine. I feel betrayed and so does he, but we’re doing our own thing now.
I kind of blame myself for letting this go on as long as it did. There are always subtle clues you should watch for when someone is threatened by you. Looking back, these warning signs are the ones that should have tipped us off.
