Let me start off with a crumb of context

My friend has been through a very very very rough patch in his life and we (friends, family and teachers) have tried to support him in any way we could. That meant taking him out to see the world, trying to help him get integrated into society again (he was so depressed he locked himself up in his room for almost a month) and also we set up a bursary for him to help him in his future uni.

Also, our teachers started to reward him for behaving well and doing well in class. This is where I'm starting to feel jealous. Whatever he does, he gets praised like the Sun for it, while myself and other people who do the same thing either better or the same way get a pat on the back.

This constant praise has started to somewhat get to his head, though. He is more open, yes, but he is starting to act a little bit like a snob. God, I feel like an asshole for writing that about him, but everyone knows it and just doesn't want to act on it in order to not make him depressed again

I know how bad this all sounds, and I feel awful for thinking this way about my best friend and I haven't told anyone of this. I just wanted to vent somewhere

This is very faintly related to /sci/ence but idk what other board to post this on, if you do please tell me
