6 Signs Someone Is Wishing Bad On You
1. They hide their insults behind humor
This is one of the obvious signs. People who wish bad on you will make it seem like a joke, but don’t fall for it.
Never let them get away with it! Be brave and call them out if they say anything insulting or mean-spirited.
You shouldn’t let people think this kind of behavior is okay because then they’ll feel free to do it again in the future.
2. You always sense their lies and deception
If your gut tells you that someone is being dishonest, then it’s probably true.
People who wish bad on you will often lie and deceive you because they want to take advantage of you. In their opinion, if they can control you, then they can hurt you more easily.
Never let them get away with it! Confront them about their lies. Instead, let them know that you’re onto them and that their deception won’t work on you.
3. They don’t celebrate your successes with you
A person who is wishing bad on you will never be happy about your successes.
They may take credit for your accomplishments or minimize them in order to put themselves in a better light. In addition, they may always try to one-up you and criticize you after your successes instead of being genuinely happy for you.
They will often be negative about their success so that they don’t feel good about it. Moreover, they would use excuses not to celebrate with the person who has just accomplished something great as well as make excuses why they can’t attend certain events where there might be opportunities to meet new people and grow their career.
4. They manipulate and gaslight you
Manipulators are often skilled in the art of persuasion, but they also use other tactics that don’t rely on reason as much.
They may:
– Be overly critical of your decisions or choices;
– Use guilt trips or shame you into doing something you don’t want to do;
– Give you the silent treatment when they don’t get their way;
– Use comments designed to make you doubt yourself;
– Use threats or intimidation if they don’t get their way (for example, threatening to cut off contact if you refuse their request).
5. They love your misfortune
When you are having a hard time, they are the first to know it and they will not forget to mention it.
They will remind you of your difficulties every chance they get. They will make sure that their words hurt as much as possible and leave an impact on you.
You had better be careful about people who relish in your misfortune because they’re not good people. They don’t care about you and they just want to see you suffer.
6. They will use everything against you
It’s advisable to note that it doesn’t matter what you give them, they will find a way to use it against you. They don’t care if you’ve done something good for them or not. They’re going to find a way to twist that into something bad.
When a person is wishing bad on you, they will use anything from your weaknesses to your strengths against you. They’ll use your past history against you and make up lies about things that never happened in order that other people believe them. They’ll even go as far as making up lies about the future in order to get people on their side.
