Things We All Do When We Feel Jealous
Claim we didn’t want it anyways
You start talking badly about the thing that you didn’t get, saying you really didn’t want it anyways. If it was a career opportunity, you start to sh*t on it a bit. You say things like, “Remember this person who got it years ago? And look where they are now. It really didn’t help them that much.” You begin to belittle the achievement, and even find reasons it would have been bad if you got it.
