Sanctifying
Unaware self-deception where emotional envy/threat or other self serving purpose gets unconsciously reframed as a virtuous, moral, or "concerned" stance (e.g., "she should dress more modestly for her own good/respect/society," while the real driver is self-centered competition to ease personal insecurity)
He's sanctifying his fear of competition by calling the new hire 'disruptive' and 'unethical'
Stop sanctifying. Just because you think she's hotter than you and you think you can come up with rules to make her less hot doesn't mean you can.
