“You’ve Changed..”
Summary
- When people say "you've changed" like it's negative, they might not understand your growth.
- Some people resent your success because your willingness to take risks highlights their unwillingness.
- Humans naturally compare themselves to others, learning by observing and modeling behaviors.
- Others may downplay your achievements to protect their own egos; it’s easier for them to criticize you than to reflect on their own inaction.
- Remember, their criticism often reflects more about their insecurities than your actual growth or success.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing these insights by first embracing change as a positive force. People might say, "you've changed" in a negative way, but remember, growth requires change. Reflect on your achievements and risks you’ve taken. Recognize that not everyone will support your journey, and that's okay.
A good way of safeguarding your well-being is to limit your influence from negative feedback. Understand that criticism from others often stems from their own insecurities, not your shortcomings. When you encounter negativity, remind yourself of your values and goals. This mindset will help maintain your confidence in the face of doubt.
To enhance personal growth, observe and learn from others who have achieved what you aspire to do. Identify successful models and emulate their behaviors and strategies that align with your goals. There is value in learning from the experiences of those who have tread the path before you.
Finally, keep your focus on your journey. Other people's opinions may reflect their unwillingness to take risks, but your willingness to act is already a strength. Celebrate your successes and use them as motivation, knowing that true growth is often misunderstood by those not on the same path. Remember, being open to change makes your achievements even more meaningful.
