The craziest thing about jealousy, is that people could be jealous of you for ANYTHING. Somebody could be jealous of you because you’re simply taller than them 😂

I feel sorry for jealous people. They were not taught to appreciate their own worth, or be thankful for what they do have. 😕🙏🏼

Envy = i want what you have
Jealousy = i dont want you to have what you have, so my intention is to take it away or destroy it...

It’s exhausting that there are so many people like this around. It makes me glad to have a small circle. Being an Empath makes you a walking target!

Envy is “I really like what you have and I’d like to have it too.” Jealousy is “Why do you have it and not me?” And I hate you for having it.

I knew a woman who was married to a cheater. He'd always accuse her of being suspicious, insecure and jealous in an attempt to gaslight her into thinking she was crazy. One of his favorite things to do when she suspected him of running around behind her back was to sarcastically start singing the song "Suspicious Minds" to mock her and try and make her feel guilty and ashamed. She got fed up with his manipulations, hired a private detective to follow him, confirmed that he was in fact a serial cheater and divorced him.
In any case, over a lifetime, I've seen lots of people use the "You're just jealous!" excuse to try and cover up misdeeds and it's always been accompanied by accusations of the person being "suspicious and untrusting" along with manipulative comments such as, "You must not think much of me as a person to think that I'd treat you that way or do things like that!"
Generally speaking, I've learned that if you smell a rat, it's not your imagination-it's because there's one scurrying around in your life.

Jealousy is a terrible thing and causes great loneliness. My closest childhood friend told a mutual friend that it must be nice to have what I have and that I married for money. (I didn’t.) My sister has always copied and tried to one-up me so we are not close. I have been dumped by friends because I was seen as “competition.” They didn’t want their boyfriends around me. I had to let go of my best friend bc she expected me to pay her way every single time since I had more money. She would start fights and say I have never struggled (I have!) and act entitled like I owed her. The final straw was when she walked into my new home for the first time she broke down crying. And not out of joy.
After 20+ years of cutting these jealous people out, there is no one left. It’s pathetic to have no friends or close family at my age. Why can’t people who supposedly love you
just be happy for you?
