Crucial Signs Your Best Friend Is Jealous Of You by Abelsconcept(m): 4:03am On Jun 26, 2015
1. Give Backhanded Compliments:
You’ll quickly recognize a jealous person by the swift, backhanded compliments. A jealous friend may congratulate you on a new job by reminding you that you got it because you know someone.

2. Avoid You When You Succeed:

If something great happens to you, like you start dating someone new or get a huge bonus at work, jealous folks might take the back door in order to avoid having to celebrate your accomplishments.

3. Downplay Your Happiness:
Jealous people can’t stand when good things happen to other people; one of the subtle ways they deal with it is by cutting you down with their words in the veil of offering advice. If you lost weight and are feeling great about your body, they might downgrade your joy by telling you that it’s pretty common for people to gain it all back in a few weeks.

4. Constantly Complain:
Everyone knows that jealous friend who always complains that you look better than them, are smarter, kinder, funnier, wealthier, better-dressed, etc. What a snooze!

5. Pout:
If your friend doesn’t want to admit they are jealous, they might pull the serious pout. They might act bitchy because everyone is flocking around you at the bar but when you ask them what’s wrong, they say “nothing” with a saccharine smile.

6. Tell You That You’re Bragging:
If you are genuinely happy about something or sharing some good news, jealous people have a way of making it seem like you’re boasting about yourself and like you’re a nasty person for doing so.

7. Process, Process, Process:
A lot of jealous people need to constantly process their feelings of inadequacy by asking you to have long, intense talks about your relationship. Everyone needs a good processing session to keep relation-ships healthy once in a while but if it’s three to four times a week, you know you’re dealing with a jealous person.

8. Gossip:
Because jealous people are uncomfortable with other people they view as superior to them, they love to gossip about any kind of negative tid-bits they can get on you. This kind of vicious gossip is a tell-tale sign of an unhappy jealous person.

9. Feel Sorry For Themselves:
Instead of realizing that there is plenty of love, riches, joy and beauty to go around, jealous people tend to mope around feeling sorry for themselves as though they’ve been dealt a worse hand in life than everyone else.

10. Plot Revenge:
If the jealous person in question isn’t a moper, they might be a revenge plotter - the ones who feel that your good fortune has slighted them in some way and scheme ways to make you look bad and take you down.

When she starts avoiding going out with you. Fear of guys approaching just you, and snubbing her.

When he/she puts a big fake smile on their face (seeming to forget that you know what their real smile looks like) and act overly happy. It leaves you feeling hollow and unsupported and if they were truly happy for you, you’d know it.

It is very unbelievable that this was here and never took these warning signs to avoid obvious pitfalls. It is sad.

One friend I had exhibited all these yet I failed to see through the fake love. Looking back now I feel really hard done.

He even went as far as asking my ex girlfriend out after telling me all sort of rubbish about the same girl. Shameless.
