Some parents make a point to create an environment that brings their children down instead of one that raises them up. Usually, these kinds of parents don’t want to admit their child is capable, possibly out of fear or out of envy… Either way, it’s an unfortunate situation and definitely not the kind of example you want to set for them. If children are constantly discouraged by their parents, they’ll either never take the risk in their personal lives or careers, or they will stop staying in contact with you. Maybe even both.

The 21-year-old daughter who posted this next story explains that her mother constantly belittles her achievements and discourages her from making strides in her academic career. The daughter landed a fellowship and her mother went berserk, going so far as to listen in on her online interview. Now, the daughter landed another internship abroad, but she plans on keeping her mother in the dark about it. Why should she tell her mom, anyway? Her mother never gave her a nurturing environment to feel safe in. Scroll to read about how she has been giving her mother almost $12,000 over the span of two and a half years.

Envy is much worse than jealousy because it actively pins for the demise of the envied in favor of the envier’s promotion. You don’t have to take action to gain what someone else has to ensure they don’t have it to be on the wrong side of the envy debate. Simply putting out an envious energy can harm the envied and make the good things in their life feel like a burden. 

The women in this story have a classic envier/envied dynamic. They’re all employees at the same office, and a small group constantly whispers and stares at their coworker whose boyfriend has coffee delivered to her a couple of times a week. God forbid she has a boyfriend who treats her well.
