#jealousy

He had believed he could stop there, that he would not be obliged to learn their sorrows; how small a thing her charm was for him now compared with the astounding terror that extended out from it like a murky halo, the immense anguish of not knowing at every moment what she had been doing, of not possessing her everywhere and always! ↗

A negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than praise, provided it smacks of jealousy. ↗
