Ack, I'm feeling so frustrated. One of the writers I know recently got into a competitive program. Normally I would be excited for them (I really try to be supportive of my writer peers in general) but this person is sorta fake? The more I got to know them over the past year, the more I realized they're really competitive and even sort of mean. In private convos, they've actively trashed other writers (even friends) when they read others' works, but will act nice about it to their faces. I get that it's out of insecurity, but it makes me feel some kind of way to hear their opinions, and see them do a complete about-face every time in the presence of their peers. I think I've just been feeling bleak when I think about the writers that will work with them in the future. Idk who to talk to about this so I thought I'd vent. ?♂️
