[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jealousy. [/quote]

People always trot this out, but I have never been mean to anyone because I was jealous of them. I’m almost never jealous of anyone. But if I am it never causes me to be mean. [/quote]

I agree that it's not jealousy but resentment. You are not exactly jealous but cultivate hate in thinking they don't deserve what they have or it's ruining your own status (encroaching on your turf). I notice it but doubt the resentful can see it in themselves. They would double over laughing if you accused them of jealousy because of course Larla sucks so who would be jealous but also Larla doesn't deserve her charmed life. It's easy to see why some assume it's jealousy.[/quote]

+1. A woman in my circle once decided she disliked me be abuse she and I were too similar. She was super competitive and didn’t like that we had a lot of things in common that she felt should make her stand out. I tried to connect with her on these shared interests and qualities, but she’d always want to one-up instead.

So she wasn’t envious. But she wanted the attention for certain things all to herself. I’m fact, I’d say she had more stuff going for her than I did— she was from a supportive UMC family and was/is prettier than I am, for instance. But she hated sharing anything with me. And there was nothing I could do about it except put distance between us. She was never going to embrace me.[/quote]
