How To Annoy a Jealous Person? 10 Fun & Easy Tactics

You’ve probably met many jealous people, but you’ve never really understood why. 

Even being nice to them isn’t enough to make them stop being jealous. 

So you want to know how to annoy a jealous person, right?

People who don’t like or agree with you. Everyone on the road to success must deal with them, and you must learn how to keep going even when people criticize or discourage you.

Here is a list of funny things you can do to make a jealous person mad.

Do what they love to do (especially if you’re GOOD at it)

If you know what makes them jealous, you can do the same thing to annoy them even more, but this time on purpose.

It is the easiest way to irritate someone because you are already good at what they are jealous of and probably enjoy doing it.

Try to get better at what they are jealous of to make them even more annoyed than they were before.

Don’t pay attention to them

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Ignorance is bliss.” This is true because someone jealous always wants to be the center of attention.

They want your attention to show that they are better than you. Don’t give in to their desires; just ignore them.

Even if you are in a group, meeting, or party with them, you should try to ignore them as much as possible so that it seems like they don’t exist.

This simple thing will drive them crazy.

Befriend the people they know

Almost everyone relies on their friends, so if you want to annoy someone jealous of you, just charm their friends so that they side with you and steal them.

It will be very frustrating and annoying for them to see you in their group of friends without that person.

The icing on the cake will be if you talk about the jealous person to their friends and, if you’re lucky, say bad things about them.

Show off a lot (let them know who’s boss)

Find out what the other person is jealous of, then show it off as much as possible. Make sure the jealous person knows about it.

For example, if your so-called “friend” is jealous of your boyfriend or girlfriend, tell them everything about your last date. 

Don’t leave out any details, no matter how small, and watch their faces get irritated.

Be a savage to the core (no remorse)

You shouldn’t be mean when you answer, but being jealous is also not a good trait, so you can get a pass here. 

Don’t say anything when they talk to you.

When you’re in public, make sure your answers are so mean that they become a laughingstock.

If they’re mean to you when you’re alone, give them an even meaner answer, so they’ll really need a timeout because they’re so angry.

Make friends with them (what??)

If making friends with their friends doesn’t make them mad, why not make friends with the jealous person directly?

Let them into your group so they can better understand how you live and become even more annoyed and frustrated by how much they want to be like you.

Doing it right will be one of the most fun things you’ve ever done.

Edit your photos to remove them (and post them on social media)

The jealous person is already in your group?

Then this way of bothering them is just what you need.

When you take a group selfie with your whole squad, including the jealous person, just crop them out before you post it on social media.

In your post, tag everyone else except for them. 

This small thing is enough to make anyone mad, especially someone who wants to be like you.

So, do you really want to know how to annoy a jealous person? Leave them out of everything

If the jealous person is one of your friends, you can invite all of your friends to a get-together and leave the jealous person out.

Enjoy yourself with your other friends.

Take many pictures showing how much fun you are having, and then share them on your social media.

The best part will be when you tell your friends about this time out while the jealous person is still there.

Jokes

This is the best way to pass the time and have fun simultaneously.

Make sure the jokes won’t hurt anyone because no one likes to hurt others. As long as you remember that, you can be as creative as you want.

Telemarketers are your best friends

How many times have you been asked for your phone number by companies that only want to bother you with their telemarketers?

Isn’t that too many to remember?

Instead of getting annoyed yourself, give out the number of the person who is jealous of you instead of your own.

Let them get spammed and annoyed by those telemarketers.

Kill them by being nice

You become bitter when you worry about your enemies or try to get back at them.

It’s easy to feel angry and right about it, but don’t.

Make a list of the people who hate you instead. Wish each person well by name and work on authentically forgiving them.

Talk well about them to other people.

Help them more than you have to. In the long run, this breaks down a lot of walls. Even if it doesn’t, it will make a big difference in your life.

Some people will envy your success and try to hurt you, but others will look up to you as an example.

Don’t let people who hate you get you down.

What Makes People Jealous?

Like most deep-seated mental problems, jealousy can be traced back to a general sense of not being good enough.

After all, why would a person who is happy and sure of themselves feel insecure or annoyed by someone else’s success?

In short, no. They wouldn’t.

People usually feel the most jealous when they see someone else doing or being what they wish they could do or be. 

Maybe they wanted to be athletes when they were younger, and you just got into the team.

For people with many feelings of not being good enough, even small things can make them feel jealous.

We’re all a little bit prone to comparing ourselves to other people.

Whether you like it or not, it’s hard to break this habit.

But it’s a big problem when people don’t just compare themselves to others but also want to be better than them all the time.

Final Thoughts

Now that you know what jealousy really is, you should be able to see it for what it is: not malicious, but just a sign of a person’s insecurity or feeling of insecurity.

It’s part of what it means to be human.

The next time someone shows signs of jealousy, you won’t give in to your natural instincts and misbehave in response.

Just remember what you’ve learned about how jealous people think and how to deal with them.

It will help you get along better with people in the future.
