Is there a word that means the opposite of schadenfreude? Displeasure at the advancement of others?

In this case, "spite". As in, "I don't want you to have anything nice, even if it cost me less and led to better outcomes for you and society at large (and thus indirectly me)". As in, "bite off your nose to spite your face".

I understand envy to be more about what others have in relation to you, rather then what they have in relation to their past selves.
