The desire to have a quality, possession, or other desirable attributes belonging to someone else.
For a Narcissist it’s the emotion they operate from…a pathological state of envy.
The pathology of envy with a Narcissist makes them unable to stop the cycles of abuse…till they destroy the target emotionally because they are envious of them.
The target is forced to go full no contact with them to save themselves…or else the target will be used and abused on an as needed basis to destroy their self-confidence and self respect.
For a ‘normal’ mind it is a strange concept to envy the person we love…because envy is a form of hate…and we as humans bond with others with love not hate.
Narcissistic people cheer and celebrate the destruction of others that they have caused.
Do you really want to interact with such a person…
Narcissistic individuals prey on people like parasites…trying to fulfill that addiction to supply and attention.
Do you really want to interact with such a person…
Attention is not love…
Attention is not something you can build a relationship on…
The same goes with ANY relationships around you as well…not only relationships with narcissists.
Always remember…people who love and support you will NEVER be envious of what and who you are.
You can tell if people are envious of you by how they treat you…behave around you and what they say to you…and more importantly what they DO NOT say to you.
So pay attention…
You can ‘keep’ them around if you choose to…but ALWAYS remember…if someone truly loves you or cares for you they will build you up…not tear you down, dismiss you or ignore your achievements or cheer at your disappointments.
Envy and jealousy happens to the best of us…how destructively we handle it makes ALL the difference.
