Do A Large Percentage Of People Hate To See You Succeed?
47 Answers
Do you think that a large percentage of other people secretly enjoy others misfortunes, even when it comes to their friends? For example things like breakups, financial losses, job losses etc?
No one will ever admit to it but all too often I have seen friends etc be in a slightly better mood if I tell them bad news
There was a music star who said something interesting and I am wondering if he is right. He said that ‘people don’t like seeing you at rock bottom/having a much worse time than them but at the same time they tend to dislike and get jelous when you go higher/achieve more than them. They like you to have a little fortune but not more than them’
What do you think?

We have been friends for a long time and are the same age.
I recently had a bath put in my bathroom because I sometimes fancy having a soak as well as a shower.
My friends' bathroom isn't big enough for a bath to be fitted and so instead of being pleased for me, she started saying things like, 'Why are you having a bath fitted, do you think it's worth spending that kind of money at our age, I don't ever feel the need to have a soak, I'd rather spend my money on something else, and that sort of thing.
Nobody else reacted in that way and I can't understand why she did.
So, I think she would like to have a bath installed but her bathroom isn't big enough, so why did she react this way?

Barry, my daughters weren't best pleased because I'm spending their inheritance but they didn't say the things my friend was saying to me.
TTT /// So it's like say when someone can't afford a certain car they then devalue it so they can give the impression that they wouldn't want it even if they could afford it.///
Is it the same though as if someone gave them the car for nothing it would be of no use to them as they can't drive.

I have a friend who goes on lots of luxurious holidays but it's not something I would do as I wouldn't get on an airplane, but I don't say, 'Not another holiday, don't you think you've had enough holidays this year
I say, hope you enjoy it, can't wait to hear about it and see the photos.
So in a way, I wish I could go to those places, but I know I can't because I won't go on a plane.

I think the worst example of this behaviour I have ever witnessed was many years ago in a pub.
Two young women who I didn't know were sat at a table next to me. One of them was getting of attention from a man and when he went to the loo her friend said to her 'some men always go for the fat girls because they think they'll be grateful'.
I nearly spat my ale out.
