7 signs to recognize jealousy


Excessive competitiveness

Jealous individuals often demonstrate a strong need to outperform others, which leads to unhealthy competition and a constant desire to prove their superiority.


Secret joy in your lapels

They may secretly gloat over your failures while pretending to support you, masking their true emotions behind a facade of worry.


Compliments too encouraging

A jealous friend may shower you with compliments, but their praise may seem insincere, masking the underlying resentment and competition.


Subtle aversion

Your friend’s jealousy may manifest as a vague dislike, especially if you achieve something he deeply desires, leading to negative gossip.


Imitate your actions

A jealous person may imitate your style or behavior excessively, appearing flattering at first but eventually becoming disturbing and intrusive.


Rejoice in your failures

Even minor mistakes or setbacks trigger their satisfaction, because they can remind you of past failures and rejoice in your misfortune.


Undervaluing your achievements

They might downplay your successes, expressing insecurity about their own accomplishments while trying to convince others that you are not exceptional.
