In Jamaica we say 'crabs in a barrel' meaning a group of ppl who insist on holding you down or holding you back in life... ie. watch crabs trying to climb out of a barrel, the higher one gets the more likely another latches on and they all fall back down.
People like that a pretty easy to spot but not immediately, some make it seem like they are trying to help you at first then, boom--- back down you go. It can be anything from a simple game to a promotion at work.
Always keep an eye/ear out for them.
Nice to hear different perspectives, cheers #SteemOn
Ah I’d love to visit Jamaica some day I don’t know much about the country but I’d like to experience the life there, the food the people!
I think Cape Town has a lot of the same problem especially due to race and all those other made up stuff we use to divide ourselves
Indeed you really need to do due diligence on those you let into your life! You become like the people you surround yourself with so choose wisely
