Jealousy is a natural trait. It is a human thing. It should come as no surprise to you that not only people you know but also those you do not know could be jealous of you. If you have something that someone who wants that does not have, there is every chance that the person may become jealous of you.
Sometimes, people that envy you could also be someone who is an admirer of your possessions or your achievements. Sometimes, you may even find them imitating or copying you.
People who are jealous of you may pretend to be your friends and even offer you compliments. But they are certainly not the ones who have the best of your interests in their mind. They may praise you on your face and start backbiting to moment you back to them.
Jealous people are known to belittle the success of others. For instance, they may first praise you for your achievement and then follow it up with something like—anybody could have done that. Hope you get the message.
Jealous people are always on the alert. They may be the first to find out when you make a mistake. And, then, they may fall head over heels to spread the news in order to malign you.
You are always seen as a rival by jealous people. They would like to be better than you but they know that you are better than them. That is the root cause of their jealousy. They are jealous because they do not have what you have.
Jealous people may spread rumours that show you in a bad light. They could do anything to paint a negative picture of you and harm your image in the society.
Jealous people are endowed with a fault-finding attitude. They would never believe that you are better than them. Instead, they will give credit to your luck and say that you are what you are because of your good luck and not because of your knowledge or skills.
They may or may not know you but one thing is for certain—they will never like you. Because, they think of you as their immediate competitor.
Since they are jealous of you, they may try to sabotage your relationships—be it with your friends, family, or relatives.
Jealousy does not make things better for jealous people but it creates baseless animosity with the people they are jealous of.
Jealousy is a negative trait and the best way to deal with it is to steer clear of it.
