Was this woman harassing me out of jealousy?

[jennifer_bloom]

Yesterday I was at a digital event and I said I purchased 30 kindle books costing a total of $32.00 on Amazon and that I bought a rose quartz face roller cause it was $25.00 and way cheaper than a beauty clinic and a woman starts scolding me about it and keeps name dropping me in conversation as the perpetual money waster, because I spent money on two things she doesn’t usually buy, and she lives in a multi million dollar home and buys expensive cheeses which she eats every single day along with wines and dresses and she is bitter I got to enjoy 2 things while she’s worried about money cause her SUVs cost her too much cash.

This is the same girl who condemned my friend 12 times for vacationing during the pandemic out of jealousy somebody was happier than her when my friend only has around 10% of her net worth and she told all the people who worked in the building I was trying to seduce a doctor who served us, cause I dressed up to show my respect during a lecture he gave us on public health. And she spends all her time talking about people she hates as if she is competition with the entire world over whose bigger.

It looks like jealousy. Really no other explanation would make much sense. I know it sounds strange that someone rich is jealous of people who have way less money and options, but mind that rich people (who generally get in contact with other rich people) are often "educated" to be competitive. While they don't struggle with the everyday workarounds and problems middle class people do, they have all the time to care about their "appearance" instead, their value, and to be defined by what they "have", because they have actually enough to be able rely only on that, to determine their value, instead of developing themselves internally. They just have no need, in their life and circle of contacts, who are also competitive and would judge the others for extremely irrelevant things, for the middle class.
She is probably built around competition and her worries and jealousy won't stop. You will have to deal with it continuously if she is part of your community, and learn to ignore her... You might label her as "pathological" or something, in your mind, to help yourself ignoring and getting over her. Afterall, if she badmouths everyone continuously, probably other people are used about her already and know she has some issues. At some point it's noticeable when someone has a problem with the rest of the world...
I think it's not even worth being rude at her for "satisfaction", but if she is constantly annoying you could tell her you're not looking for advices and that for the moment you're happy about your choices, and that you care about happiness in small things too. If she doesn't accept you do, or invalidates your choices, well, what else could you reply other than:"well that's how it is"? Just stay firm on your point, possibly unbothered, because if you upset her she would get an excuse to put a huge effort in badmouthing you to any possible person she meets. I think it's more effective to make her feel out of place an exaggerated, inappropriate, than to make her feel impactful in unsettling the others (and causing upset reactions).

sounds like someone who needs to find better things to do with their time i wouldn't stick around them

I don't think she was jealous, she just has a screw or two loose!

Why would you sit next to a loud mouthed drama queen in the first place?

[jennifer_bloom]

She belongs to the community I go to and unless somebody commits assault, utters threats or becomes violent, you can’t kick them out.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Have you ever said to her something like... If I want your opinion I'll ask for it?

[jennifer_bloom]

I might try that if it happens again

[TommyMountainFigure]

Or I could probably give you some of my favourite insults.. which I use for very special occasions..

Something like:-

You're so full of hot air, I'm surprised you haven't flown off into the ionosphere

[jennifer_bloom]

No, I think something simpler like, “you’re just jealous I’m younger and happier than you.”

[TommyMountainFigure]

There ya go.. 5 minutes talkin' to me and you're already gettin' the hang of it.. :P

I don't know the reason she is doing this. But if she is harassing you file a report to local law enforcement and the prosecutors office. If they can't do anything then they can't do anything

Don't call them out there go directly there and fill one out

Everything that happened negative to women is just jealousy becuase they are so great. Women are so arrogant and entitled its offensive.
