There is nothing to hide here, because one of the worst human qualities, envy, is encountered very often.
These people mask their feelings by giving backhanded compliments or unnecessary advice.
It is this habit that reveals an envious person who has settled in your environment.

What is the reason?
These people often don’t even realize that they are jealous, but they are sure that fate is unfair to them.
Therefore, they consider it fair to criticize and devalue the successes of others.
Words and phrases
Be prepared to hear an admission that your acquaintance, friend or relative could have achieved exactly the same results, but “circumstances got in the way.”
In such cases, he will call your hard work and decent results “luck.”
Or here's another example of devaluing your achievement - indifference.
An envious person could also achieve something similar, but “at this stage of life” he is not very interested in it.
How about this: your success might be called an unjustified risk.
It looks like concern or concern, but in fact it is nothing more than a reproach for courage.
In such cases, you may hear that the result was achieved at a “high price” or that you chose the “difficult path.”
What to do about it
Don't even try to justify yourself and prove that you are right. This will not change the envious person's opinion.
All the more reason not to take his words to heart.
Remember that your success is the result of hard work, which only a strong person will recognize.
