Why are some people jealous when you have finally achieved something positive in your life?
Answer:
It's just human nature. We are highly competitive beings, because that is how we survive in this world. Many people, as you stated, don't want to work for sucess. They will do as little as they can, and take others down with them. Make them understand! Take that initiative in your hands and tell them what you just said. If you don't, who will?
..The good things in life are hard to achieve. And not everyone is willing to pay the price.
So sometimes when you achieve something positive, such as earning a Master Degree, or whatever it may be, instead of people feeling wonderful for you, because you deserved it, instead they wish they had achieved what you did - and they feel bad for themselves. This is caused jealousy. It is very, very unfortunate.
Some advice - As you go forward in life, surround yourself with friends who are mature enough and mentally healthy enough to feel good about your accomplishments
Some people spend so much time envying what others have they can't even see what they have.sometimes people are so over come by jealousy they can only fin d the bad in their life and the good in the person they are envying.Weird,huh?
Those people are not ur friends!! there is just nothing else to say. people who love u will always celebrate with u
Some people will always try to bring you down, becuase they can't stand to watch others accomplish great things. We have to roll right over them and remember that envy destroys mankind. Jealousy and envy.deadly sins. If they act like that when you do something great, are they really your friends?
I have reconsidered many of my old friends, becuase I realized that some of them want to see you fall and drag you down. Its those people that will go nowhere in life.
its because they arent happy with themselves and seeing you prosper just supports the fact they they are either failure or just not as successful..
but who care. just stay away from people like that. you do your thing and keep up the good work!
people are jealous because they wish they have acheived something positive themselves. it is hard to be happy for ur friends when u urself don't have it. it is human nature. but the trick is to try and not let it get to you.
I know the feeling, thats horrible, and people like that are not your friends, People who act like that are called ASSSes, yes, Did your parents ever tell you do not call that boy anymore and make an *** out of yourself, I say if you acheived something that you worked soo for, I will be the first one to clap, for you see, i dont get jealous iam grown up, Soo when people are upset with you because of jealousy, come home and ditch them, and grab a jar of peanute butter, and think of my advice, its called happy butter, Grab a spoon, because happy butter peanut butter jack assess dont eat, its a fact
it happens to me a lot. especially this year that i was the second best student of my high school. everybody told bad things... i was studying all day like crazy and i didn't go out with friends to be sure that i score the best marks. my real friends stayed with me cz they understood my try. but the ones who weren't true friends left. true friendship can be seen when bad things happen to you. true friends are happy when YOU are happy and sad when you are sad .
its a case of I can't have it then you can't either, don't let the killjoys ruin it for you, don't let them bring you down, the green eyed monster is a terrible thing
The green eyed monster might have something to do with being unhappy with their lives, that is why they are eaten by hate and envy and it end up shadowing what ever good qualities they have.
They are jealous because they're selfish and instead of being happy for you because they're your friends and putting the jealous feelings to the side they will either try to compete or, as you say, back-stab and try to get others against you. I tell you I have had my fair share of jealous friends and I would not stay too close to these people. It's difficult to just bump them off straight away so in the mean time don't tell them about your achievements, successes, disappointments, etc and get a few people you can really call friends.
that's human nature for you!
'Cos they want it for themselves. Pure and simple.
God!! Just read back some of these peoples answers!! They make me sound like a monster!!
I am not that bad!! I may be jealous, but you cannot deny that you are human too!! I do not backstab- and as for competing, well, that's another part of human nature, isn't it??
I get jealous of peoples achievements, yes. I compliment them, and then wish silently that I could own that feeling (or whatever) too.
To the question- I shall assume that you are having problems with a someone. Refusing to tell them about your triumphs will only make matters worse. Be honest. And maybe ask for their approval/acceptance/etc.. this way, they feel included, not uninvolved.
Its possible (if this were a promotion, or a move somewhere else) that this person is afraid of losing your friendship, or that you may feel differently of them.
The only way to know for sure- is to ask.
I wish you the best.
