Someone close to me in my life keeps tryint to give me career advice when I have a better job and pay than them and they continue to try and influence me to just quit and “break free” or some shit where I would end up with nothing to satisfy their psychotic wishes for me to be back under their thumb


Also sounds like this person has a narcissistic need for control over your life. Get as far away as possible from them. Cut all ties.
This is reddit as fuck. How could you possibly know they should cut all ties. Answer is you couldn’t and you’re not at all concerned by that.
