Ressentiment - is resentment that develops when someone feels powerless to achieve, confront, or become what they desire, so they cope by devaluing, criticizing, or morally condemning it instead.

This particular situation has been a thorn in my side. It annoys the fuck out of me. I hate this so much and I deal with it all the time, whether it’s through friends, family, lovers, or associates. It’s a constant theme in my life. I am noticing it’s becoming a bigger problem, especially with social media and the lack of originality and people’s lack of direction. It’s copycats and energy thieves.
