Things We All Do When We Feel Jealous
Take them down a peg
When we see the winner, we find passive aggressive ways to make her feel bad about it. We give her the best seat at the table saying, “I wouldn’t dare claim it—I’m not the true royalty in this room” or we say things like, “I’d invite you but, I assume you’re busy with better things, since you had that victory recently.” We find ways to make the winner feel ostracized and guilty.
