Why does Misery love Company?

Question

Why do people with nothing in their life try to invade yours and ruin your success when they see you doing well? They try to dirty your reputation when you're rising and try to prevent you from being recognized or tarnish your image to others?

Why do you think they do that?

Answer 1

Jealousy, needs, wants, goals, s*x, moey, fame. There are many many reasons why but the most imporatant and the fact is you are a threat to them and they want to get rid of you by attacking. Most people in this state try tto avoid attacks, cover them up or defend their reps but this doesn't always work as well as attacking back on them since you are the threat and top dog. If you are however just rising then even when your rep is falling continue and strive for success while planning on building your rep and attacking back harder under cover. At the end you gain triumph against the threatened and your rep goes up but only if you really tried and didn't over do it by getting your hands too dirty.

Answer 2

The need to feel superior to some is an overwhelming drive.  If they are not talented enough to rise to your level, they will try to pull you down to theirs.  This is their screwed way of leveling the playing field.  So the saying, "Never wrestle with a pig because you both get dirty and the pig loves it" has a lot of validity.  The people with the same mentality as they will believe what they hear because it is what they want to believe.  The people who have a life and are trying to live it and feel secure in their abilities will consider it something said by a little person.  Small people talk about people, mediocre people speak of things, intelligent people discuss ideas.

Answer 3
