8 signs that you are jealous and tips on how to respond to jealousy.
1️⃣ Fake praises.
Ambiguous compliments, with a touch of sarcasm and passive aggression. For example: "Thanks for the hospitality, everything was so delicious, especially the bread." “I like your dress. But the hairstyle spoils everything, I'll give my master's phone number. " The best way to react in this situation is to reciprocate.
Do not hesitate to express your sincere admiration for the outfit of an envious friend at her finest hour. Congratulate her on reaching the right time. So you will let her know that she is also worth something in this life.
2️⃣ Depreciation.
Envious people try to belittle your successes and devalue your accomplishments.
No matter what you have achieved, how much work and effort you put into achieving your goal, the envious person will in any case claim that you were just lucky. And nothing special. Everything could have been done much better.
Remember: you are great! Only the very valuable is devalued! Your merits are the result of your efforts. And stop proving it to the envious. Show pity. A person with low self-esteem is not able to appreciate someone else's success.
3️⃣ Exaggerating your own success against yours.
"You are no better than me" - they broadcast by their behavior. An envious person will try to make you jealous and try to brag about their success against yours. Right the moment you share your achievement! Instead of congratulations and applause, you will hear "and here I am … and here I have …".
On your birthday, she will begin to sing praises to herself and try to shift the center of attention of the guests from you to herself. You invite him to a housewarming party, and he will compare the whole evening not in your favor and praise the repairs in his apartment.
It is better not to show the envious person that it hurts or annoys you. And not to be involved in his game.. He behaves this way because, most likely, this person is not nearly as successful as he wanted to show … or less successful than you.
Do not compete, wholeheartedly praise the envious person, like a child who folded a pyramid, and show an example of the correct healthy reaction to other people's successes.
4️⃣ Imitation.
In order to feel as confident, beautiful, or successful as you, the envious person begins to become the same as you. Women can start to imitate your style in clothes, lipstick, buy outfits like yours. Competitors copy your business practices. Envious people can grab hold of your ideas and dreams and begin to embody them in their lives, posing as their own goals.
Dont be upset! You are a real masterpiece, an original. And the envious is a copy, a pitiful forgery. Continue to develop, be an example, a leader. And maybe your envious people will understand that in order to represent something of themselves, it is not necessary to be you. You can achieve more if you are not ashamed to be yourself. And you are an example to follow and inspiration.
5️⃣ Rivalry.
They love to bet and argue. Their whole life is a rivalry and a continuous race into which they can drag you into: who earned more, who is smarter, who has a better car, who has a more beautiful wife / husband is more successful, who has a more expensive bag / watch, is taller, and weighs less …
Tired of their "envy of Freudian penis size"?
Don't take up the challenge and just tell them, "We're not in a competition, that's enough about that." The sooner you refuse to play their games, the faster they will give up and stop trying to beat you in them.
6️⃣ Criticism.
Envious people can easily find a fallen eyelash on your cheek, imperfection of the lipstick contour and a typo in someone else's text just so as not to collide with a beam in their own eye. You will not hear words of support from them before an important event.
You should not share with them your failures and demonstrate how upset you are after making a mistake, because for them it is just an excuse to be happy for themselves against your background.
Remember, a mistake is just an experience not worth repeating. It's not scary to make a mistake. It's scary not to try anything in your life, criticizing others from the height of your own sofa.
6️⃣ Gossip, intrigue.
Jealous people love to discuss, evaluate, gossip and intrigue behind their backs. If you have heard rumors that a colleague is spreading, or a friend is savoring the details of your personal life with someone, feel free to call the envious person into a serious conversation. They are afraid of open confrontation.
Remember! Criticism and negativity cannot prevent you from achieving the desired goals. But they can distract and upset for a short time. Therefore, choose carefully the people you trust with your secrets.
7️⃣ Open hatred.
If someone around you openly hates you for no reason, they may be jealous of you. Especially when you have gone ahead in your development, but it has remained at the same level. Many are trying in such a situation to improve relations, to earn favor. But they face depreciation and rejection.
Take a break, minimize communication, or cut these people out of your life.
In conclusion, I will say that it is better to keep your distance with envious people, to communicate on abstract topics, not to discuss your personal life, career and material values.
Don't waste your time and energy trying to get their approval, trying to prove something, or competing with the baddest eggs.
Envy is a manifestation of weakness and self-doubt. Provocation to rivalry is the desire to assert yourself at your expense.
Envious people are people with low self-esteem. You can just feel sorry for them and accept them as they are in small portions at a safe distance.
