Our society tends to demonize the success of others. This act based on envy for the triumphs of others has very clear consequences in society: we are less free than we think because we are highly conditioned by the environment. The fear of being the discordant element of a group lays the foundations of a very well studied pathology, known as Solomon Syndrome .
This disorder is characterized in that the individual makes decisions or carries out behaviors avoiding to stand out or stand out above others, that is, on the social environment that surrounds him . This determined behavior leads these people to hinder themselves in order to continue on the path of the majority.
People affected by Solomon syndrome have low self-esteem and also lack of self-confidence , which leads them to evaluate themselves according to the evaluations of their own environment and not according to their own evaluations. The fear that our virtues shine above those of others and they are offended by it is one of the pillars of this psychological disorder.
At street level, it is frowned upon that everything goes well for us and this attitude, generalized in the human being, leads individuals to focus more on deficiencies than on virtues. Desiring something that we do not have and does have another, causes the inferiority complex to be only one step away by giving a prominent place to our frustrations – instead of our strengths – and that it costs us more to rejoice in the good things that happen to them. to others.
