I can't find the right word to describe...any help?

Question

I need the word that describes the following:
If I can't be happy, no one else can either. If I don't receive it, no one else gets to have it either. If my dog dies, no one else should have a living dog either.
Does that make sense? I really need a word to describe it! Anyone know? Please! My paper is due tomorrow and I'm stuck.
PS it's not "Selfish".
THANK YOU THANK YOU

Answer 2

I don't know of one word, but there is an old phrase that fits the definition perfectly: such a person is like "the dog in the manger." It comes from an old fable--perhaps one of Aesop's--in which a dog sits in a cattle manger, barking, snarling, and biting when any of the cattle come near to eat. He, of course, can't eat the hay, but neither will he let the animals who can eat it come near. If he can't eat it, no one can.

Answer 3

Petulant

Answer 4

Arrogant

A strongly arrogant person will usually try to downplay other people's achievements or ideas in order to make themselves appear better. Arrogant people will even ignore or downplay good ideas from others, as they cannot accept that others might have better ideas than themselves.
