They'll try to separate you from them, much like a cult would try to separate you from outside influences.

And these types of people become obsessed with tearing others down.

And it usually ends up getting to a place that is relatively organized and public.

And they become chemically addicted to criticism and comparison.

Meanwhile, most of these people somehow convince themselves that they're morally right.

jealousy ultimately for this reason corrodes your entire soul it turns admiration into resentment and to be honest with you and i just walked a friend through this over the weekend

The truth is if you are jealous of somebody, admiration or acknowledgement had to precede that.

You had to actually think they were beautiful for jealousy to be activated.

You had to actually understand who they are and what power they have to activate jealousy.

So it would be very rare that you, let's say in a girlfriend boyfriend scenario, you likely wouldn't become jealous of somebody that you thought you were prettier or smarter than.

So you have to almost acknowledge the good for it to then flip the coin and turn to the bad.

And truly, the person that experiences jealousy, they suffer the most because you lose the ability to celebrate other people, to experience beauty.

Anything that is a positive, your brain will start to flip it into a negative or a lack in yourself or something to fight about.

And I'll level with you, that is a completely miserable way to live your life.

And if I'm talking to you right now and you know that you struggle with jealousy, there is a way to rewire it.

But it's not going to be by largely consuming Instagram content that makes you feel like you're perfectly justified in your victim narrative.

Jealousy traps people into hyper fixation on the material world.

It's usually things like money, success, access, beauty, etc.

Right.

The who got picked, who got promoted, who's getting more attention.
