If a person is jealous of you they have one of two choices - tear you down or build themselves up. In order to build themselves up they must take action to make themselves better. Which do you think is the easiest to do. You got it - tear you down!

Finding fault in you takes the attention to fault away from them. Plus, running you down, gives peers reason to not hang around with you ... so they keep their friends. Sooner or later, their true colors come out and their friends walk away from them.
Be confident with who you are ... remember who listened to that garbage picker. They're not worth your time in the future.

That's their way of bring you down to their level. They have low self esteem... so they try to lower you. Best thing to do is to win them over with kindness (that really hurts them... when you're kind and not bitter with them!)

Considering the arrogance of your question, maybe they're NOT jealous....maybe you have lots of faults.

They want to tear you down some, so they feel better about themselves.
