Because they aren't happy, or the happy people have something they want, and have been unable to obtain.
I'm seeing it now in a person who always felt her life was superior to her siblings, then her sibling obtained what she had and surpassed her. So now that person is making snarky comments to them for no reason, and throwing around light insults.
They will have to work it out on their own, and figure out why the other's success makes them feel bad.

When one of my granddaughters got married, her grandma, my husband's ex wife was at the reception. She can be a volatile person. Happily, she was pleasant and actually her and my husband had a heart to heart that I know was cathartic for my husband but I think it was for her as well. But she's the kind of person where it could've gone bad, and we knew it could've been bad.
So...we should've not gone, knowing her potential?
The thread is speaking to folks who are resentful/envious of others’ happiness; it’s not about volatile exes or folks who don’t get along (nor really about family or weddings, from my perspective, because most want to celebrate happiness relative to such).
My point being, if they are resentful of (or angry about) another’s happiness, they aren’t likely to attend (or be invited to) a celebratory event anyway. Why would they want to, other than to cause drama or spread negativity?

And yet, there ARE unhappy people who show up to events to spread their misery. It happens frequently in all kinds of situations. I gave an example of one situation.

I couldn't rep you again. Until I personally experienced it, I didn't know there were people like this.

Point being, it doesn’t affect those who are aware of such i.e. your happiness or psychological health is not dependent on theirs. In fact, if it’s a friend or family member who is miserable or unhappy, wouldn’t you (want to) know why?
I said "perhaps uncomfortable"....I guess I'm using all the wrong words Sorry!!!
I don't think you're picking the wrong words. The meaning and intent came through pretty well. Perhaps instead there are illustrations of your topic in action here.

I feel like you keep moving the goal posts.
You had asked why would unhappy people choose to be around happy people. I gave an example of why they would do that.
