Crab mentality is a metaphor that describes a phenomenon where individuals within a group pull down or undermine those who are trying to succeed or rise above their current situation. The term originates from the behavior of crabs in a bucket, where if one crab tries to escape, the others will often pull it back down instead of allowing it to escape.
