In many situations, it is common for people to feel jealous or flattering, and it is often the fault of others. The others are bad, they are envious.
However, whoever suffers too much from imaginary envy and without bullying can be a victim of vanity itself, feeling the need to call attention to get rid of some condition from which he can not get out or incessantly seek recognition.
When the ego gets very inflated, it is difficult to know if the feeling of envy is a self-sabotage or a conjunction of unfavorable circumstances. And if the diagnosis is close to that, it is likely to be an attack of starvation and as compensation, end up assuming the status of victim.
There are people who are really envious, just as there are psychopaths and other types of convalescents from mental illness. However, you need to be able to identify which signs point to that unpleasant feeling of an easy target.
Like any physical pain, this pain that affects even the soul is difficult to measure and only those who are suffering are able to know its intensity.
And what is the solution in this dark scenario? Is there any?
One of the points that require improvement is the ability to self-accept, to consider yourself a full and worthy being and qualities of merit.
It is likely that mental screening techniques, applied by Olympic athletes, can be useful in overcoming many obstacles. For example, people with low self-esteem are more vulnerable to criticism or mischievous comments. In this aspect, it is not only envy, because the person consents to this condition of inferiority, developing even the complex that perpetuates this perception.
To truly armor, it is necessary to leverage strengths and develop complementary talents that help eliminate fear and the feeling of fish out of water.
It’s not easy, but it’s quite rewarding. Accepting the favorable conditions and intentionally taking advantage of the opportunities, not attributing to luck or chance the good results is a matter of fully assuming responsibility and awareness of each action, thinking for itself and exercising the conviction of being fully present in every moment to enjoy the realization of what is desired.
In this way, no matter how critical or even veiled or explicit demonstrations of the most pure envy can be decimated simply because there is no meaning or importance.
Non-revenge is the best way to get around, without being affected in any way, for it is the proof that the ego is the slave and not the master of the important decisions of life.
