Why You Secretly Want People to Fail

Описание: There’s a moment almost no one talks about.

Someone you know succeeds. A friend gets promoted. A coworker buys a house. An old classmate announces their engagement, their startup, their perfect life. And for just a second, something twists in your chest.

You smile. You congratulate them. But underneath, there’s an uncomfortable feeling you don’t want to admit.

This video explores why part of you secretly wants people to fail, not because you’re a bad person, but because of how the human brain measures worth, status, and belonging. This is a deep dive into psychology, not judgment.

We break down the psychology behind social comparison theory, envy psychology, schadenfreude, and relative deprivation and why other people’s success can feel like a threat to your identity. You’ll understand why we compare ourselves, why success triggers insecurity, and why these feelings show up most strongly around friends, peers, and people similar to us.

We also explain how social media intensifies the comparison trap, distorts self-worth, and fuels insecurity — even when you’re doing objectively well. This is why people who appear successful can still feel behind, anxious, or dissatisfied.

More importantly, this video isn’t about shame. It’s about awareness and mental health psychology.

Because once you understand what’s really driving these thoughts, you stop being controlled by them and start building self-worth that doesn’t depend on comparison, validation, or other people’s failures.

If you’ve ever wondered why other people’s success hurts, why insecurity shows up at the worst moments, or what envy says about you, this video will explain it, honestly and without sugarcoating.
