Everyone knows success comes through commitment, hard work & persistence. Due to that I have climbed the ladder of success & Alamdulliah today I reached where I want to be, some relative from my own blood feel jealousy in my success not indirectly but directly. Not only due to career wise, but also if I buy a house or a nice car, they feel so bad & disappointed like that I bought it from their money.

Does your close relative feel jealousy in your success? IF ‘Yes’ how would you overcome this kind of situation & change their hatred to love.

I don't feel that in my family. Everyone gets really happy and supportive when something good happens to someone. My brother is one of the successful guys in my family and all I can see is love, respect and happiness showering him whenever he's around us (and the whole family).

In my opinion, people who feel that way are like that by nature. You can't change them. They feel jealous and envious because they are not you, because they are not getting what you get, a new car, a new house, a happier life than theirs.

To help your situation, don't share what's going on in your life so much. When you're around them, be humble. Don't talk about your success or what you've accomplished, try to maintain yourself to their level (financially). They need to feel equal to give you love and respect. As I said, it's their nature.

we have a few with the same problem in my family, no matter how good their life is, if anything good happens to you, they'd be burning jealous.
the funny thing is, they lead much better lives than yours, but if things went well with you for a change, they become very upset..as if something went wrong in their life.
it's like, they'd be very upset if you bought a Toyota echo, when they have 7 Ferraris parked in their garage.

i personally pity them..for someone to never be pleased with whatever they have, and can never be happy for others..that's just very sad.
and seriously, jealousy and envy eat you up inside..

i don't think it's something you can change in a human, unless they realize they have a problem and want to change themselves.
