Has someone been ever jealous of you? Have you received hate when you been doing outstanding work? Not sure why a certain person treats you the way they do?

I will tell you why, they are just plain miserably jealous of you.

Jealousy is when a person is afraid when someone is better than them and might take something away from them.

For example, Lisa wants to be loved and be the centre of attention at a party, but someone comes who draws people’s attention more than Lisa. Lisa feels as if that person is taking people’s attention away from her.

In her mind, his sense of worth is getting threatened by this newcomer, even though they did nothing against Lisa. But Lisa can’t stop it, she is overwhelmed with jealousy and anger, so she makes it her goal to eliminate this newcomer.

I’ve learned that people like Lisa do certain things that give away their jealousy. If you spot some traits in people that surround you, know that they are just plain jealous of you — and they can’t help it. Here they are.

1. They give fake compliments and bad-mouth you

The first thing you must realize is that a jealous person is a very insecure person. They are never straightforward; they are just plain cowards. They will hide in their tiny houses, binge-watching Netflix and bad-mouthing you.

Why? Because they have nothing better to do, obviously.

They will never tell you face to face that they don’t like you and that the reason behind them not liking you — is that they just so damn wish to be like you, but they can’t.

They are double if not triple-faced people. I’ve been often complimented by certain people for my amazing efforts, but then I’ve found out that the same people who were so nice and warm were actually the ones who were spreading gossip and lies behind my back. So childish, right?

Yes, jealous people act as if they are still in 5th grade — and they are emotionally 5th graders. I’ve come to realize that jealousy is a trait of low intelligent people. Therefore, it’s not their fault, unfortunately, their minds are somewhat restricted, by it due to genetics, upbringing or just plain simple being lazy and fearing growth or change.

Next time you find out that someone has been talking poorly of you — know, they are just miserably jealous, and they should be. Even though they are “emotionally disabled” they still do realize that you are doing way better than they will ever be able to.

After all, it's you who is experiencing fame, success, financial advantage, or just get to live a happy and peaceful life. They are attracted like flies on shit to all of these things. They can’t help it.

Just give them more of the good, yummy things to binge on.

2. They are “little” bullies

Jealous people are just little bullies — they are trying to control you, inflict fear upon you and manipulate you.

Think about it — these people feel a deep sense of inadequacy, emptiness and unworthiness.

They are like those bullies in the kid's playground that will one day end up locked up. They wish so much to close the gap between what others have and what they want and are unable to have.

These stalk their prey, they pounce overtly, they lie, and they bend the truth. They are trying to bolster their own feelings of self-esteem at the expense of another person.

But they are so desperately unhappy. Because anyone who is truly happy would never have the desire to hurt others. Only unhappy people take out their frustrations on other people.

Only unhappy people are mean. They’re miserable, so they want others to feel the same way.

3. They dish the dirt on you

I’ve realized that jealous people have high anxiety and aggression levels. They gossip so much because they aren’t confident in themselves, they will go to extreme lengths to try and ruin your amazing reputation by making negative comments and spreading lies about you.

Face them, because they are so weak. How many jealous people do you know that isn’t surrounded in groups? Most bullies are hiding behind others, they are dependable on others, they need people to surround them, they are not strong without their little allies, which usually run away, as soon as the bully is debunked.

Jealous people are just immensely unhappy and attention-whores. They are not getting any at work or from their spouse if they have any. They don’t have real friends so they resort to picking on others to get some attention.

4. They try to copy your amazing efforts, unsuccessfully!

This my favourite trait of those who are so desperately jealous of me. They are so ridiculous, that they are actually trying so hard to copy me.

Jealous people can’t be better than you, so they are trying to be just like you.

They may imitate the way you talk, what you do, copy your plans, activities and efforts in order to feel better about themselves. They may try to keep up this fake mask for some time, but eventually, they will give up because it will be too much of an effort for them to try and imitate your success.

Jealous people don’t even know why the hell they are copying you. I’ve come to realize that they are just sick and obsessed with you. It is most likely that they don’t like you or the things they copy from you, but they just can’t help it.

They live in fear. They’re afraid of being deserted by their close ones. They’re afraid that people will learn that they’re insecure. They’re afraid that you’ll find out all of the above!

5. They wish to know so much about your life — they would love to have your life

Jealous people are obsessed with you and what you have and they want it all and now. They wish to know everything about you and when they don’t they will come up with their own stories about you.

Just keep being you, the loving and amazing you. There will be more jealous people that will come your way, and even more, so that will drop off. Remember jealous people want to “Keep up with Kardashians” but they never do. They can’t.

Jealous people are always behind. 5000 miles behind you.

They look at you and see everything that they couldn’t achieve or become.

And it pains them very much.
