No idea. I don't take it as a jealousy thing, but it's hard telling.

Are they educated themselves?

I know that in Finland, people want foreigners like me to work, earn and pay their way. Friends are supportive verbally, until a foreigner is earning more than them.

Some are, some are not.

I feel like sometimes I get excited about the things I'm doing or learning and want to talk about it all. Some take it as bragging or a superiority thing I'm sure, even though I try to avoid that at all costs.

I wonder if it makes some people feel little, because they are forced to compare themselves to you or something.

Yeah it's weird. It's like branches diverging on a tree. Also though, to be fair, it could be that I have virtually no social life and the old bonds aren't as strong.

Well, I'm not much to compare to.
