Crab mentality. Nah that's very common here in our country. Just like my father sides family. They can't be happy if someone in the family is happy and successful in their life. glad I don't have that kind of mentality. It always makes me happy to see other people happy or succeed in their life.

I make a lot of friends and i can say i've come across people like this, it seems like their level of negativity never gets low and all we can do is stay away from them because though they may be nice at times, they are a whole lot of trouble

I have always wondered why there are people who cannot tolerate other people's happiness and what is the purpose of their existence when all they can do is provide negativity and jealousy. I run away from such people, I keep them away, I have my own wall for them.

Crab mentality is anywhere that people should not very education, it's nice see but not to do.

Btw Mr. Lucifer I am Infinity_101 this is my new acc. I created new because my old acc doesn't work and rusty didn't gives tip. So that I create another one. I hope you remember me Mr. Lucifer

Hi Luci. I'm back from my vacation grande. Hehe. That mentality is common here in Philippines. You'll be surprised if you still see people that will help you without anything in return. Have a great day. ☺️

So true, this is common in our environment and another big truth is that, even some of us that are reading this are involved in this act. I hope this article touches our mind

Really high class animals like humans should not have such a crab-like attitude. Then the human race will soon be destroyed.

I always make sure to avoid such people or evne become one of them. Crab mentality is one of the most toxic trait that a person can have.

I never knew that about crabs. That's a bad mentality to have though. One shouldn't let jealousy get the best of them that they try to pull down others who are succeeding

I know lots of people who do not progress and yet do not want you to progress. Ridden by envy, hate, and wickedness. Ask Nigerians who "village people" are they'll tell you. 😂😂

I also hate that mentality, why not support and be happy if that person succeed? Hayyyysstt when envy and jealousy hits badly, we can't stop it.

why the world is full of so jealousy, envy, and hatred...!

Why don't we start adapting the ant mentality. They help each other and build the colony together. Why don't we humans do that as well? Hate crab mentality.

Crab mentally people are existing everywhere, they really love to ruin other people's success cause they are envious on what that certain person achieved. They don't want to support you and will pull you down like what crabs do, we can't avoid those kind of people but one thing you can do is to show them what they've got, using reverse card is always works towards them.

This is a bad and disgusting mentality and I suppose the crabs have it so we can watch them and learn from it

I thought this is just a toxic Filipino culture but it looks like it is present in your society too. Too bad this mentality have spread and thrive really well. We should be trimming and removing its roots for they are unhealthy.

I met a lot. I experienced that being pulled down every time I go up to reach my goal. Why can't we just go up together? Why do they have to act like crabs? It's not good to be surrounded by such a kind. It is toxic. That is why I free myself from unhappy people.

This one of the toxic trait of humans, I don't know why they hate being inferior, and others starting get better than them they do things just to pull down that person who's way better than them, they are so insecto the point that theu would do everything just to bring down that person with them.

Crab mentality start how people become toxic. They become ome because of insecurities.

I have meet this types of people Devil and they are really toxic. As much as possible I am trying my best to stay away with them. All I want to have in my life is peace

Crab mentality is one toxic trait of people. If you let yourself be eaten with your insecurity towards the success of others, it will not help you to be successful. Instead of pushing each other upwards, with this kind of mentality, both are pulling downwards. This is a very common attitude of so many people. They will do their best to keep you down on their level.

Insecure people will never bring you up they will never let you successful in life and I hate those kind of people. I have lots of my relatives who are like that and also called plastic friend.

This kind of people are actually common. They will do anything to keep you at their level. This is why we have to be careful about those we call friends

Nice introduction and nice writing, congratulations!

Great dear ..nice idea.good words to write

This great!, Filipinos have this toxicity cultures but some other how it trying to better than before.

Tsk! I remember so many people 🤦🏻

Crab mentality is not new to me, my dear cousin. That is one of the toxic traits of some Filipinos. Our cultures and traditions introduced that to us. Most of us, I think, have learned from the past and are trying to be better.

Dear Lucifer, this symbolic event was very interesting and new to me. In fact, this movement of crabs can be reminiscent of some people. As you said, we humans are jealous in nature, but when we try to fight it and instead show compassion and empathy, then we show the essence of our beautiful humanity.

You beautifully explained the mentality of these people by relating the crabs. It’s better to avoid such kind of people. They are the only people who don’t want to see the other people happy they only want that everyone goes through the same phase from which they are going through. Btw, I love the way you start your article brother. Appreciated. You are getting better and better day by day MashAllah 🥰

If you didn't know, there are some of Filipinos have this attitude also.
