When do you need to deal with envious people? What are the things to do?

In dealing with envious people, first, we need to identify these individuals , so check out some examples of common behaviors for those who are envious:

They are competitive and always want to be ahead
Do not usually praise others
Take pleasure in criticizing
They underestimate the achievements of others and exalt their
Do not show happiness with the success of others.

Now let look into some tips for dealing with jealous people and who can help if you are experiencing this situation.

1. Try to chat
   Before taking any action, how about trying to talk to the person who is jealous of you? A light and sincere chat can be the solution if the envy is a consequence of a low self-esteem , for example. Maybe she feels welcomed and rethinks her attitudes when she realizes that she has a harmful attitude!
   However, if the person is really aggressive and demonstrates malice, making no effort to take what you have, then a conversation may not be the best alternative. In such cases, try to get away and avoid living with the individual.

2. Don't talk about your personal and professional life
   Envious people usually like to hear about the lives of others just to have the opportunity to show themselves superior. They are competitive and do not admit to being left behind, so avoid talking about your achievements, desires and achievements.
   On the other hand, envious people celebrate their failures and difficulties, so also stop talking about your defeats, failures and fears . They will use this to exalt themselves and make you feel bad.
   In general, avoid deep conversations about your life and do not allow the envious person to have access to your plans and dreams. The less she knows, the better.

3. Flag the situation for your managers
   If the envious person is in the workplace and you are forced to live with them every day, be careful. If envy is going too far, signal your managers in a mature and conscious way about what is happening.
   If possible and in your interest, ask for an area transfer to avoid very continuous contact with the person in question. Talking to your superiors about the situation is the most effective way to avoid possible inconvenience in the workplace . That way, they will be aware and take the actions they deem necessary without you having to overexpose yourself.

4. Get therapy
   In some cases, the envy of others bothers you so much that you end up bringing negative energy and causing very bad times for those who suffer from the envious. In such cases, it can be very interesting to do therapy to expose what you feel and learn to deal even more intelligently with envious people.

   The envious person is the one who needs to resolve their issues and not the target of envy. If at any time you have ever felt guilty or thought about changing who you are because of the envious, free yourself and look for other ways to alleviate the situation.
   A very common behavior of those who suffer with the envious is to start to rethink their attitudes to alleviate the envy of others. This will certainly not solve the problems and still bring many frustrations.

6. Show the envious that he also has qualities
   If the root cause of envy is the feeling of inferiority and the envy itself is not doing you any harm, try to praise him. When emphasizing his qualities and valuing his positive points, he may realize that he is someone as special as anyone else.
   Creating the habit of praising more can be a powerful tool to lessen envy and create a more harmonious environment in which everyone feels valued and grateful.
