Signs a friend is jealous

[Superfoodie123]

Hi

Has anyone had experiences of a jealous friend for whatever reason and can list below the type of behaviour they show?

Thanks

It doesn't. People have lost sight of what jealous means.

Jealousy and envy are related emotions. Taking what someone has or having something someone else has.

Most of the time when people are nasty it's nothing to do with jealousy or envy. It is to do with the perpetrator being insecure and feeling better about themselves if others are unhappy.

An already slim person is not jealous that a previously fat friend is now slim. They are bitter because they felt superior before and now they have nothing to feel superior about

I don’t know if it’s jealousy, more that they are just unpleasant people who always have to be top dog. Sometimes people I’ve known a while and thought were really nice would come out with a really horrible bitchy comment out of nowhere. I’m not sure it was jealousy, just a sign that they had an unpleasant side that they hid well.

Out of the blue, a passerby complimented my hair colour and my friend was instantly jealous. She would not stop laughing about it and pretending it was a huge joke. I found it weird and insulting.

Another time she said she could show me how to apply make up, when I didn’t even wear it or ask her for this advice.

When my DH and I bought a home, she said how she dislikes all homes on that side of town and the style of home.

When DH and I got a dog, she said it’s the kind of dog that would be commonly found in rescue centres because of their bark.

Anyway, this friend had many similar comments the entire friendship. It was not a hard decision to drop her.
