“Envy can lead people to want to bring others down as a way of trying to elevate themselves. When someone feels envious of another person’s success or happiness, they may try to undermine that person in order to feel better about themselves. This behavior can stem from feelings of insecurity, low self-esteem, or a lack of fulfillment in their own lives. Additionally, societal or cultural pressures can also influence individuals to engage in this kind of behavior. It’s important to remember that the actions of envious individuals are a reflection of their own internal struggles and should not be taken personally.”

Why Some People Are So Defensive
“Defensive individuals often have control and power issues, and perceive anyone confronting them or holding them accountable as a threat. They are uncomfortable with feelings in general and managing their own. Defensive individuals don’t like to “work through” emotional issues in the collaborative way adults are expected to. They can be highly impulsive and quick in their emotional reactions, without pausing to think things through in a balanced way. Finally, they tend to avoid too much emotional closeness with others.”
