real shit...this if from another thread and a stepz rant.

but when do you cut people off?

it seems like people keep people around that aint really helping them get somewhere in life.
why do you keep them people around?
to not be lonely?
a drinking buddy?
cause they bring the chicks/dudes?
cause they can fight, so you feel protected? like a bitch nigga?

if the people around you aint helping you grow...why are they there?

do you need yes men?
do you need ego boosters?
will they tell you when you wrong?
will they tell you you made a bad decision?

are you the smartest among them? do you like to be looked up to around others who arent on your level? how does that help you?

seriously, take a good look at your circle and think about what you want in life and how these niggas fit in it.
are these people even the niggas that can obtain or keep up to where you want to go?
are they slowing you down? are you slowing you down because you dont want to shine too much?

i can admit that when i was getting and going places in life....i found i had alot of haters that had immediate access to me.

i found myself in competitions i didnt even know about.

i found out about run tell dat ass niggas...dry snitching.

had to cut off alot of niggas and family. and like someone recently said....they wasnt family...they was relatives. thats a great way to look at it.

alot of people are stagnant. a lot of niggas dont want shit out of life outside of the immediate circle. the block is some niggas lives. i drank such and such, smoked such and such, fucked such and such.

i once was told on the IC that alot of people dont have freinds like that. i told that person that its obvious you aint high enough for niggas to target you.

when we all got honda and acuras....things are cool. but when niggas get late model benzs...or whatever to be the stand out....niggas get funny. thats just a fact.

but anyway

when is it time to cut people off?
when did you have to cut someone off? why so?

this shit right here is real life. My last 8-5 everybody was cool as fuck, including the manager. Nobody was really driving anything worth a shit so my ass riding the "mothership" old ass Toyota Previa fit right in. Everybody lived in cookie-cutter subdivisions, nothing special so we were all pretty much on even ground as far as how we were living was concerned.

My checks started rolling in and I decided to buy my wife the Benz she always wanted so I went out and copped an ML500. Had to take off a good chunk of time out of the work day to get the paperwork signed and everything else together. When I finally got back to work the boss asked "well, what kind of car did you get?" and I told him this honkey's whole demeanor changed. Mind you, the shit wasn't even close to being new, but it was just the fact that it was a Mercedes that got his face tight.

A couple of months later we moved from a cookie cutter house in a subdivision in north vegas to a custom built crib called "the mansion" by all the neighbors in a nicer, older neighborhood. Manager's face got even tighter when one of my so-called "boys" at the office had to drop me off at the crib one day and he came back talking about the house.

I ended up getting put on the chopping block when layoffs came around.
 
If we aint like minded you getting cut off. If you aint inspiring me to keep bettering my self I dont need you around me.

I just cut a motherfucker off recently.
 
I often wonder about this when you have a s/o sho has that one ain't shyt girlfriend in her group.

The type who's negative about EVERYTHING. Hates on others happiness b/c she herself is miserable. When they all go out, she's one who gets mad when she's not gettin attention, then yells "I'M READY TO GO!"

Why continue to keep this person in your life?

Honestly...part of the reason why I think they keep people like that around, is b/c it makes themselves look better. Kinda like a small reminder that "My life is better than them."

This is a lil different than what the OP was getting at even though it is still some sucka shit. I say that because your manager not your family or friend. So him being jealous and hating on you shouldn't have been a surprise IMO.

thing about it was anyone coulda copped a nicer house and cars. I think the low end dudes in my group was seeing $85K/yr+. Because I was a senior level I was gettin way more than that, but that would also mean that my manager was getttin well over six figures. Out of the group, I had more kids than anyone else by far, so I had more overhead with the bills and shit and because they're older I needed a house with enough bedrooms for all of them. The only other senior level cat just got a divorce with no alimony, just child support so he had single nigga money making $95-$100K/year. No way in hell he shoulda still been in a Camry living in a tiny ass house. My boss had grown kids in their 30's. Why, exactly the fuck, do you still roll a busted Mitsubishi Mirage and live in a crib with no pool complaining about not having a pool every day? Same thing with the mexican cat that I thought was my boy. That nigga got married while I was working there and neither he or his new wife had kids. You in a 3 bedroom house in the hood in NLV and driving a Mazda 3... why?

And I get that everybody ain't trying to have luxury vehicles and a big ass crib, but if that's you then be content with the decision about your lifestyle. Why the fuck you got something to say about the next man that DOES have those things?
 
I've cut people off because I saw their true character over time and in certain situations and it wasn't something I respected so they couldn't be around me. If I don't have any respect for you there is no foundation for anything to built upon so there is no need for us to be in each other presence.

I can honestly say since I don't consider many my friends and I don't give a fuck about titles so anybody blood or not can get the fuck out my life. The times in my life when I made moves and was shining all those around me were genuinely happy for me and I never got word back anybody was hating on me.

I think people throw the word "friend" around to loosely and get disappointed by the actions of someone who they considered a friend. In most cases if a person takes the time to reflect on that friendship they will see all the flaws and bullshit that person BEEN on and why they actually should've been cut off a long time ago. I also get that sometimes it is hard to drop dead weight in the form of a person you had some type of love and respect for.

What I forgot to post regarding all of that was that before I copped the car and the crib, it was all love in the office. When it was time to go to lunch I was always extended an invite and alladat. Afterwards they always had something to say, lil slick comments and shit so I just stopped being around them dudes like that. Kept it strictly professional 'cause I saw how they operated.

I hear that. I guess its just me but there was always a line that I wouldn't cross with co-workers. We can go to lunch, talk shit about life, sports, check out broads while on a lunch break, etc. but there was always that line. I need to be around you for a certain amount of time see how you react to certain situations before I call you my friend and expect for you to act accordingly to that.

We've all been caught slipping thinking people are cool and friends when they really not. So I get it though. Just my thoughts on your situation is all.

I've learn early. Mexicans are the biggest haters!! Never considered them muthafuckas my friends
 
Got arrested for a robbery my boy committed. Wrong place wrong time but the amount this nigga took dude for was so useless. Nigga owed you $4-500 so you jam him for $50?@ smmfh. Had to spend the night in jail. No apology, my bad, you good or nothing. No beef or anything since nothing came of it, and we've chopped it up since about other shit but Ive pretty much kept that same energy with dude ever since. Not much to say when we speak.
