When people ruin your hopes

So I’m a bit upset tonight and am just wondering why some people feel compelled to ruin any glimmer of happiness or hope thst other people might have. I know someone who is like this about absolutely everything.

New car – “you won’t be able to drive it, it will cost a bomb, don’t like the colour”
New job – “it’s too far away, doesn’t pay enough, you’ll have a long commute, you might hate it, it won't go down well”
New house – “too small, cramped, you’ll be bored, you won’t have enough money to furnish it”

On and on and on. Some people just seem to live to shit on any chance of happiness that might come into your life, like they want you to just sit in a hole in the dark. My DM is like this and can’t seem to stop this stuff coming out of her mouth. I don't understand.

I don't agree that comes from anxiety. I think it comes from spite and resentment and jealousy.
