Everyone is happy to see sincere and benevolent people. It is a completely different matter with envious people and other not very honest people.

But even if we consider envy to be the engine of progress, it is recommended to keep a distance from people with this character trait.

Let's find out how to identify such a person in your environment and why you shouldn't trust him.

The first sign: envious people love to complain

People who secretly or openly envy you often repeat or complain about unfair treatment or the wrong way the world works.

They will blame anyone but themselves for their personal failures.

The second sign: envious people like to devalue

Someone else's success and achievements are worth nothing in their eyes. No matter what you do, such a person will never sincerely admire your determination, talent and other qualities.

Instead, he will start talking about his successes to devalue your success. And all this is due to a problem with self-esteem.

The third sign: envious people love to criticize

Just give such a person a chance to criticize his neighbor, and he will not miss it. The slightest reason can cause a wave of critical remarks.

The fifth sign: envious people love to insult

Moreover, they do this quite skillfully, hiding their caustic remarks behind compliments.

Having given a compliment, they will definitely find something to find fault with. For example, seeing a new dress on a colleague, they will admire its beauty, but will definitely add that the outfit makes you look fat or find another nuance.

The fifth sign: envious people simply disappear

Naturally, such people cannot live in the shadow of someone else’s constant victories for long.

Therefore, if you suddenly discover that someone from your circle is refusing an offer to meet and avoiding contact, think about what feelings this person had for you.
