If someone writes online about their financial/romantic/social successes or in general about how good their life is, what's the main reason you may feel negatively about it? Feel free to elaborate on the comments.

Your options focus entirely on status emotions. I mainly have a “there’s more to life than this wallowing in other-regarding cognitions” reaction. I find such people boring in the same way as Trump. There’s nothing more to their life than seeing and being seen by others.

I certainly don't think those are the only things a good life is about, only the things I occasionally mention about my own life. If I could report on reaching spiritual enlightenment, changing the world, finding deep meaning, or anything else I would write about that as well :)
