Questions to consider:
Are the people in your life able to be happy for you without making it about them?
Do you feel guilty for something good happening?
Do you have to dampen your joy to make them comfortable?
Notice the responses and reactions from people for clues on:
The balance in your relationship/friendship.
How they feel about themselves.
How they make YOU feel about yourself.
Remember that:
You do not have to justify your life choices as an adult to anyone. (Yes, really.)
You do not have to shrink yourself or diminish your accomplishments for the comfort of others.
You do not have to dampen your joy to quiet the insecurities of others.
