Pathological Envy differs from jealousy and simply envy in that is seeks to destroy others and their accomplishment because of a deep hate for what others have that is not had by those with pathological envy. Narcissistic abusers are riddled with envy and because of deep inner shame and feeling insecure look to devalue and destroy victims who are successful, are happy, and in possession of things that the narcissistic abuser does not have.
