On the one hand, the presence of envious people in your environment is a good sign.
People are unlikely to envy a person who cannot boast of any successes.
On the other hand, a spiteful person can put a spoke in the wheel.
From him you can expect both minor dirty tricks and serious betrayal.
To avoid problems, you need to “figure out” such a person in time, and then behave more carefully with him.
But envious people sometimes very carefully hide their feelings, putting on a mask of goodwill.
However, such people do give themselves away in some ways. Most likely, they will not be able to help but utter certain phrases.
Three phrases of an envious person
Have you heard any of the following phrases from your interlocutor? You can conclude: "There is an envious person in front of me!"
- "I can do that too. Nothing special!"
- "You're always lucky"
- "You envy me"
Be aware: the ill-wisher will obviously try to devalue your achievements in one way or another.
And don't be surprised by the third phrase. Envious people love to "shift the blame" onto those people towards whom they have a negative feeling.
