    "Negative energy?" No. If you have poor self-confidence, it's because you haven't found reasons to take pride in yourself.

    Everyone thinks of themselves far too much to spend a lot of time sending "negative energy" to other people, and even if they did, thoughts aren't magical unless you're a dumb-ass who believes in ghosts, angels and other superstitious twaddle.

    What you're asking doesn't even make sense. Usually, people who are the target of envy feel pretty good about themselves. How would someone else saying "I wish I had what you have" give you a crisis of confidence?

    If people put you down and says mean shit about you, don't assume they're just jealous. Assume they don't like you and cut them out of your life.

      Oh, hell. I meant "if people put you down and SAY mean shit about you," not "says." This is what happens when you edit a noun without double-checking the verb.

      Good thing this isn't paid work.

  • Yes, for some this is the case.

    I've never heard somebody verbalise it before.

    First, why are they jealous? Have you given reason for them to be (On purpose, that is). This is one where you must look at ugliness within you

    You're permitting them to affect you. Stop it.

  • People who are unhappy tend to project their inner turmoil onto others. Unhappy/self-loathing or insecure people will try to cut you down to feel social and self affirmation of their own worth. Sometimes its personal and envy-fueled, many times it is not. But I would not say it is even relevant to say that all people who display ill-will toward you are jealous. Its not about you, its about their own personal unhappiness which makes them disrespect you and likely everyone else.

    People do not send you negative energy. If they do not like you that is something you might notice. Yes some jealous people will put down everyone they see just because they feel like shit themselves. I have had friends like that and being around them is very depressing. I do not think people inspire to sent sadness to you. That is your own paronia.

    To an extent yes. If you have ever had people tell you "I hate you because you are so pretty," for example. They might really have hate because you have something they want. But people envy for all sorts of different reasons! & All they will do is pick at your weaknesses to bring you down. & Yours must already be your self confidence in general.

    If you're talking about negative energy, you might be right or you might be making it up.

    Yes, people will often insult people to knock them down to their own level of misery. They may envy you or they may just be bent out of shape because you don't look like you feel as shitty about life as they do.
