What causes tall poppy syndrome

So why does tall poppy syndrome exist? What makes people behave this way towards strangers, coworkers, and even their own friends? According to the aforementioned study, there seem to be three top drivers which trigger this behavior: envy, sexism and gender stereotypes, and lack of self-confidence. It seems that we resort to acting this way when we’re feeling insecure or inferior to someone else, and therefore we undermine their success or downplay their achievements to make ourselves feel better.
