Have you ever encountered people who worked hard to make you feel jealous of them?

Maybe people think they are better than everyone else in this world. I have a cousin who recently moved to Atlanta with her five kids. They are living in a home with her sister and her sister's other kids. Lately, she has started speaking down about people and consistently lying. She didn’t even tell me she was moving, but she has no problem rubbing it in my face. She has sent me photos of someone else’s house, claiming it is hers. Then she tells me that she is in the process of buying a home and that it will be ready on the 16th. This turned out to be a lie! Afterward, she claimed she was already in her house. It has been lie after lie after lie! Tonight, I finally gave up on being happy for her. During our calls, she spends most of the time trying to make me jealous instead of appreciating my support. She just moved to Atlanta three weeks ago, and it feels like she’s trying to flaunt it in front of others. She transferred her Section 8 housing voucher to Georgia and then lied about her sister co-signing the lease. I wasn't putting much thought into this until tonight. My aunt asked me to come and fix her TV, and I felt like a punchline to a joke. I told my cousin that her mom finally has her channels and much more, and I was completely ignored while they laughed at me on the phone. Yet she calls me every day, and each time it feels dishonest. I realized today that I am just being used and made fun of. The things they can't do, they call me for help with, while they speak poorly of me behind my back, apparently. I asked my cousin a question, and she laughed, saying, "That's what I would have done in your situation, yeah." I don’t understand why I’m being treated like trash while they make fun of me and ask for my help, knowing they can’t do it themselves. My aunt also asked me to place orders online for her because she doesn’t know how to shop online or use electronics correctly. Then, she asked me for help with other things she struggles with.

Yes and it shows that they’re spending too much energy on someone they claim not to care about. Best advice? Don’t give into it. Ignore it and move on. If they become obsessed to the point of being a civil or criminal offense then take action.

They aren’t mentally healthy people and are toxic. If someone’s spending that time and effort on someone they don’t like going out od their own way. It’s their issue

Have met few in the past. Usually close friends or relatives.

But I try to avoid, ignore and don't overthink about them now. You should also do the same if you want peace of mind 😉
