Snotty, jealous remarks
Snotty, jealous remarks
My last post about being jealous of someone's style prompted me to make another observation about N's and ask for other people's input on a related subject.
The envy factor for this guy was out of this world. As a musician, he'd bitch about other people getting more requests for autographs, getting more attention, etc. It was weird to listen to such out in the open flat out jealousy and insecurity.
One of the things he liked about me was that I am a professional artist (and beleive me, he tried to put that to good use until I threw it all back at him) but on the other hand, he is deeply resentful of people that have "made it" professionally.
That brings me to this:
Just a couple weeks ago I mentioned it was going to be 20 years I've been in my particular industry, and his reply was curt/snotty as if I was showing off. "Well that's good for you" he replied, enough to make me say "I didnt mean it like that." ....defending the fact that I really was only saying it to make conversation.
Then he immediately went on to tell me that he's been in his cover band for 20 years too.
Wow..now that I think about it...he acted like a competitive girlfriend in high school or something. It really floored me how just under the surface his disgust really is..actually interpreting my comment about my work into something that was "showing off." Nothing could be further from the truth, I was just sharing something cool.
Well, most other people would think it was cool. He just simmered, and tried to measure up.
very jealous of me too
