I have found that another reason jealous haters will say disparaging things to happy people is so they can “own” the happiness. They can’t be happy or make people happy but they can destroy happiness and thus they had power and ownership over the happiness.
Also known as the ‘fixed quantity of happiness’ theory. Believers feel that before they can have any more happiness for themselves, they first have to take some away from someone else.

This is very insightful.
Thanks. Sadly it’s from experience.
It’s why some people will always create drama or be mean on Christmas, holidays or birthdays. They want to destroy the happiness of the day.
Trump is a very good example of that.

And to take they do mean things?
Yes, that’s the whole point.
