friend with the same neurosis as me sees me trying to drag myself out of the tar pit that is that particular neurosis and basically says "actually you dragging yourself out of that pit makes MY neurosis feel bad, so out of respect to me, don't"

there's more to it that makes it less wildly unreasonable but I don't feel like being charitable, I'm angy >:(

this person doesn't really sound like a friend

sending you hugs if you're into that sort of thing, or good vibes if you don't want hugs!

your anger makes me feel angry, so out of respect to me: get more angry

i always feel bad talking about my successes because this attitude is so prevalent it sucks

Working on your problems is good and maybe seeing you succeed will help them see that progress is possible.
