My [19M] friend [20M] told me to stop talking about my "successes" because it makes him feel bad.

It's so frustrating because he has a lot of qualities I deem successful. He got this prestigious award and I was incredibly happy for him and supported him. He has a bunch of things that I want but I never tell him, don't talk about that because it makes me feel bad. I think the worst part is I don't even phrase it as a brag. This week I talked about how happy I was that I was able to get this one internship after failing to get into it for TWO YEARS. I was told by employers I would never be competitive enough and that I was a failure so to get into a really good one was a dream come true. I'm not close with my family so I wanted to share my good news with my friends. It sucks that instead I got an essay on what a shitty asshole I was for bragging. It made me cry and it suddenly felt like something that wasn't all that special
