What causes someone to habitually change their demeanor so that when you’re happy, they seem sad?
When I am sad, scared, and depressed, they give some support, but not sure how genuine it is. Then, when I get encouraging news and am happier, I get a sense that they are unhappier. Why is this? Don’t they want me to be happy?

It sounds like that person is ultimately selfish. A co-dependent or an enabler. They are happier on the dark side. This is hard to shake.
I know what you mean, it happens to me too, theres not a lot of happiness in my life and when I am happy, usually by some of my contacts asking funny questions or my dog doing something silly to make me laugh I get Mr. Moody with an attitude problem, when I’m sad he seems to prefer it that way, its very annoying
They are not your good friends coz they surely dont wish the best for you….they remind me of my husband…he is very worried when i am happy and always says i have gone out of my marriage to make me cry…His insecurity always makes him suspicious of me so he always wants to see me sad……he is very calm when i am upset about something … They are either sadists or they are jealous of you.
It’s called “Ying” and “Yang”
Where there is one emotion there is always an opposing emotion.
There are people who feed on other people’s misery and provide comfort and support. But, when those same people cannot provide that support, they get sad and depressed.
