My aunt hates me and hearing her say it broke me

I don't have parents so I have been living with my aunt (She is single) ever since I was 9. She raised me and I am eternally grateful. I do everything I can to support her financially and get her nice things.

Unfortunately, she has a very bad habit. She loves to degrade me. When I wear something nice or tell her about a happy thing where my friend complimented me or a guy was talking to me. She would be like "Yeah right hahaha He probably thought you looked dumb" or "Nah, your friends look rich. You never will."

I have been brushing it off for years but lately, it's been really affecting my mental health? I feel so ugly, I feel so worthless. I feel like I'm nothing but useless sack of meat. I got mad and said it to her "Why do you only say bad things to me? Do you hate me that much?" For that she says "Yeah I do. I hate the things you have and the life you have. I'm jealous of you".

I dunno why but it hurts me so bad... I have done nothing but honest nice things for her without expecting anything in return... Her words really hurt me so bad. I have been sobbing like an idiot for the past 1 hour... I feel ugly and I also feel betrayed that the 1 person I care about turns out to be my biggest hater...

It also makes sense why whenever I tell her about something happy, it always gets ruined... (I'm superstitious. In my culture, we believe in evil eye and if someone is jealous the things get ruined).

Like omg you are 65!!!! what the heck are you so jealous about a 23 year old girl!? God forbid that I work hard, earn for myself and buy myself nice things!
