Openly envious people always act as if you stole something from them 😅

Wow. "Not all personalities deserve your empathy." This is a critical 180 that all survivors have to make to heal. Powerful and insightful. Thank you.

When you are around envious individuals they will ultimately take away from your life. Healthy people will add to your life and to the world.

When a poverty of spirit exists envy will rear its ugly head.

In the simplest terms "Your joy is their misery & your misery is their joy." They will kick you while you're down and shit all over your accomplishments/worth. I've met a few people that have the instant reaction to laugh at someone struggling. And if someone is joyful and laughing, they will make a dig or simply look annoyed or bothered. 🚩🚩🚩 Staying far away from those people improved my mental health and happiness 💯 percent.

Narcissists are egomaniacs consumed by envy and Jealousy. They haaaaate it when someone compliments you in their presence. Hell, they even get upset if someone speaks well of your dog!!

Just because someone has more, doesn't mean they are more.

Envy can be dangerous. When severe it becomes all consuming & inconsolable. To stop their intolerable pain, they will destroy everything & everyone driving their envy. ie. "If I can't have it, no one can."
-
You can actually see the envy/resentment as they (narcissists) clench their jaws in response to any success/possessions that upset their fragile self esteem. Usually accompanied by cold, joyless eyes.

My neighbors are envious people with zero empathy, they actually scare me.

The great trauma counselor, Diane Langberg, says that while we're all sinners, we don't all build Auschwitzes. That is such an insightful way to put it.

The green shirt is spot on, given the subject matter! 😂
-
I'd sum it up as people who are just empty shells without a spark of life within. Amassing material possessions is their way of feeling alive, alas, it's fleeting at best, and once they have what they have been craving, it immediately becomes uninteresting. Enter a vicious cycle.
-
Schadenfreude... we don't have this word in the English language but it means taking delight in another's misfortune.
-
You are describing how my life has played out. It has been totally crazy. Family, friends, strangers and all I tried to do was be a good person.
-
Anyone in your life Dr. Carter, is SO BLESSED to have you- including us. Your videos are comforting, full of wisdom, and a calmness that this world needs. I appreciate you! By the way, GREEN looks splendid on you. 💚

I know a few people with envy and jealousy. They become small and irrelevant. I try my best to not be envious.

Love that you’re wearing green when you talk about envy!! 😂👍
