« The jealous destroy what they are incapable of creating ». Paul Guth
There is nothing worse than being successful or reaching a goal and finding that those around us feel jealousy towards us.
A person’s jealousy can cause them to be mean, especially when we are achieving our goals.
We have all experienced jealousy at least once in our life. But it’s a lot harder to deal with when other people are jealous of us.
We can control what we feel, but we cannot control what others are feeling.
To remedy this, the first step is to recognize the signs that indicate that a person is jealous.
HERE ARE SEVEN SIGNS THAT INDICATE THAT A PERSON IS SECRETLY JALOY OF YOU
1. SHE IS VERY COMPETITIVE
Someone who is jealous tends to be very competitive, because he always wants to reap success or constantly seek to prove his superiority to others.
Refuse to make the competition unhealthy or outright refuse to participate in this little game. If he tries to talk to you about a job promotion, just tell him that it is not a competition.

2. SHE CELEBRATES YOUR FAILURES
Someone who is jealous will gloat when you make mistakes or when you will be reprimanded or corrected at work.
Even if he doesn’t show it to you, usually he secretly rejoices in your failures. Overcome your failures with grace and remind her that making mistakes is part of learning in life. If you don’t get upset, he won’t enjoy it.
3. IT MAKES YOU FALSE COMPLIMENTS
When someone is jealous of you, they are very often the first to give you a compliment that seems genuine. But you will see that he will roll his eyes as soon as you leave the room.
He would rather assert that he is not jealous than address the problem. To make it stop, give her sincere compliments when something good happens to her. This will help him see that you are a genuine person and help him to be less jealous.
4. IT REDUCES YOUR SUCCESS
When someone is jealous of you, they constantly try to belittle your success, no matter what you accomplished or how hard you worked to get it, he will tell you that it was just luck, or that you didn’t work that hard to make it happen.
To counter this jealousy, stay humble but firm in your accomplishments. If you brag about your success, he probably continues to be jealous.

5. SHE IS LOOKING TO BE LIKE YOU
Someone who is jealous of you is looking to be better than you and wants to be like you too. He likes to imitate the way you express yourself or wear the same style of dress as you to feel better about himself. Try to encourage him to have his own identity, instead of rushing you. Show him that he doesn’t have to be you to be a good person.
“Jealousy is a self-generating monster that is born from its own bowels. « William Shakespeare
6. SHE SPEAKS FROM YOUR BACK
Someone jealous will always find a way to talk about you behind your back. Often his words can be malicious and hurtful. To counter this, confront him directly.
Since someone who is jealous doesn’t tend to be openly confrontational, talking directly to them about what they’ve done may be enough for them to change their behavior or quit altogether.

7. SHE HATES YOU
If someone hates you for no apparent reason, it might be just jealousy. This can be difficult to deal with because it is never very pleasant to be hated for no reason. You may want to show her that you really are a nice person.
But you may not be able to do anything about it, and the only solution available to you will be to eliminate that person from your life. You don’t need this negativity, just let it out of your life.
It can be difficult to deal with someone’s jealousy. You may want to just tell him. But doing it in a non-confrontational and positive way is best for both of you.
It can be a self-esteem issue that needs to be overcome and getting angry with you won’t help her jealous tendencies.
Learn to recognize the signs of a jealous person, and be sure to deal with them with a lot of empathy and understanding.
