People do this because they are jealous. They want to bring you down with them into the place where everyone is horrible and ruin your streak. No body is perfect but they think you are, they want to bring you down so that you aren't better than them. Don't let them get to you, they just wish they were you..

It probably makes them feel sufficient. Like they're better. Or it could be from the release of all the anger they've been holding from being treated badly. Either way, I don't agree with it. They need help. I've encountered such people and life was hard with them around. I hope this person either changes or you get away from them for your own mental health. :)

It can be because they are insecure themselves and feel better when the bring people down. It's not right but that's what people do..

I was always told that you have to have something to build your mountain with. In other words, if someone wants to build them self up and feel better about them self, they need to push someone else down to stand on.

By bring others down they would get a sense of achievement and feel more superior than the ones that they brought down. This makes them feel like they are more 'perfect' than others.

Often people who aren't where they would like to be become annoyed at themselves when they see others succeeding. Remember that it is not a reflection of you. Perhaps ask them why they feel the need to bring you down and you may even help them identify why they're achieving their goals. Try not to compare your goals and your journey to others.

Because people fill themselves with hate and they take things from their own experience and they try to bring others down to make themselves feel better about that however they shouldn't do that and get the help they deserve to grow as a person, sometimes people just do it because that's who they are and they can be full of hatred, however someone can learn from this purely by acknowledging what they've done wrong and try to put it right , people tend to pick out other peoples imperfections when they think they're immune to being imperfect too.

Some people have to lower others confidence to make themselves feel better. They don't have a great self esteem so they put down others to reach there goal

My biggest theory is that they either have way too much time on their hands, that they fixate on other people because they're ashamed with their own life. My next theory, is that they're intimidated by that person.
