Had enough being a nice person

I have always believed in Karma and treated people nicely irrespective of how they treated me.

But this thing is getting out of hands when I had quit my job few months back and I’m jobless since then.

People’s behaviour has changed towards me and literally my close ones are hurting me more than strangers.

Once helped a guy with a referral and he got a job, when he had no other offers. Same guy joked about my unemployment and asked me to take it with humour.

Helped another guy with a referral, however it did not work due to his 6 months+ career gap.

Now he is working in a startup but did not refer me twice when his company had a vacancy for my role.

No responses to my messages and I’m fuming like hell and not understanding what I did to get such behaviour from close friends.

P.S: I had cleared all tech rounds for 3 companies and all of them kicked me out right before negotiations could start, without even giving a reason.

TLDR: Jobless since 5 months, didn’t treat anyone badly, however getting poor treatment from close friends.
