The 'Revenge Fantasy' of Social Media: A Nigerian Creator's Story

In a world increasingly focused on personal achievement, a new trend is emerging: the 'revenge fantasy' fueled by the success of others. A recent video from a Nigerian social media user, Timeless✨♾️, sheds light on this phenomenon. Timeless✨♾️ describes how some people in her life seem driven by a desire to compete with her progress, even going so far as to harbor secret hopes for her failure. "People will try so hard to be in your life just so they can be monitoring your growth," she explains. This behavior, she says, is often rooted in feelings of inadequacy and envy. The video highlights the surprising and often unexpected sources of such competitive behavior, reminding us that success can sometimes attract unwanted attention. Timeless✨♾️'s story serves as a cautionary tale, prompting reflection on the hidden dynamics at play in our personal relationships and the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries.
