J: Have you noticed how David has been acting lately?

A: Yeah, it's like he's been throwing a wrench into the works whenever we make plans. What's up with him?

J: I've been thinking about it, and I think it's because he's jealous.

A: Jealous? Why would he be jealous of us?

J: Remember when we all got promoted last month? David was really hoping for that promotion too, but he didn't get it. I think he's been harboring some resentment ever since.

A: That could explain it. But why would he take it out on us by messing with our plans?

J: I think he sees our success, and it's a constant reminder of what he did not achieve. So, he tries to disrupt things to make himself feel better. I wish he could find a healthier way to deal with his emotions instead of sabotaging our plans.
