6 signs someone is extremely jealous of you

Unrecognized jealousy can escalate into toxic behaviour, causing your friend to change so drastically that you won't even recognize them. The problem is that most people keep these feelings hidden deep inside, making it difficult to know whether or not they are jealous of us. Thankfully, there are a few ways to determine whether or not someone has negative feelings about you.

Here are 6 signs someone is extremely jealous of you:

They Shower You With Fake Compliments

Do you know what jealous people have in common?

They will never admit to being jealous of you. They are too supportive and shower you with insincere praises when good things happen to you in life.

But, once they are out of danger, they start saying awful things about you and how unworthy you are.

Pay attention to people who take a long time to compliment you or cheer the loudest when something good happens to you, as well as those who praise you only when others are around.

They Copy You

While psychology believes that copycat behaviour is a sign of flattery and a manifestation of affection, this isn't always the case with jealous people.

People that are envious of you strive to copy your behaviour and style, including your hairstyle, walking style, gestures, and even the way you speak.

You might think it flattering at first. However, the more you notice it, the more irritating it becomes.

A jealous person isn't trying to flatter you by buying a phone that looks exactly like yours; they're just trying to keep up.

They Gossip And Spread Rumors About You

One of the telltale signs that someone is jealous of you is that they like gossiping and spreading rumors about you.

A jealous person is constantly looking for new ways to annoy and irritate you. So that they can get a reaction from you and at the same time, convince others that the rumors they are spreading about you are true.

They do this for a number of reasons, one of which is that they are jealous of you and wish they could get everything you have but know they won't be able to get it.

As a result, they do everything they can to degrade your name, friendship, and reputation in front of your friends by spreading rumors about you.

They Undermine You With Bad Advice

This is their technique of undermining you and trying to derail your life in small ways.

It's not the end of the world if you eat at a terrible restaurant or anger your boss, but it's also not ideal.

As a result, this secretly jealous person will seem to be on your side while giving you bad advice.

They Overemphasize Their Accomplishments

When interacting with others, jealous people try to exaggerate their accomplishments in order to make themselves feel superior. This mainly happens after you've shared some great news.

When jealous people achieve anything significant or small, they often publicize it to the entire world.

People who brag about their accomplishments are often the most insecure. And they'll go to any extent to make you believe you're not at their level.

They Complain A Lot

If you like something, a jealous person will definitely dislike it. Having a jealous friend could be the very worst-case scenario. Because they will never allow you to rejoice in your small achievements.

If a jealous friend who went to the same college and specialized in the same field sees you advancing in your profession. They will express their envy towards you by complaining about how easy you have it. While they put in the same amount of effort, they aren't as lucky as you.

 

When you're on the verge of winning a game, a jealous friend will constantly complain that they weren't ready. Because they can't see you defeating them in a little game. They have a hard time accepting failures since they are continuously competing with you.

Avoid such fake friends from your life who possess all of these qualities, as these are clear signs that someone is jealous of you, and you should no longer waste your time with them.
