Are you jealous of other people who have better life than you?

[Anonymous]

Like they have better jobs higher salary. I keep comparing myself to some of my successful friends/classmates in highschool they are have better jobs higher paying jobs, have many friends they always post in social media they would tour outside the country to different places, eating at expensive restaurants and they all seem very happy and fullfilled in life while me Im still here sad, alone, no boyfriend, broke, no job ( I applied but I haven't heard from them) maybe I'm just unlucky

Nobody has a better life than me. They may have a life they enjoy more. They may be better looking or richer or whatever, but I have two wonderful rescue kittens and despite countless attempts by life to make me exit the census early, I'm still here. I get to play with baby raccoons every spring when the mama's bring by the new ones to show off. I have a nice house in a safe area that will be fully paid off in 6 years, a great garden outside and a wonderful race community here that is very supportive of my ruck marches. My mother is in good health and my job, while mind-numbingly boring and possibly meant for someone who lost a bet in a former life, made sure I'm truly unlikely to ever see poverty again.

I'm eating fresh hot homemade bread with buffalo flavored toom on it, in my conservatory watching one of my rescue kittens slink across the floor as she sleeps to stay in the sunbeam, and a groundhog is going through my citrus garden removing all the dandelions while two hummingbirds dart back and forth between my alpine berries and the feeders. Because I'm proofreading a teammate's report this is what I call "work" now a days. None of my old injuries are unusually painful today and all my heart attack medication seems to be working. It's cool still, and because my races are only 10k this weekend I will likely have time to chop some more wood for the winter. Honestly I've no legitimate reason to complain right now. I may make a carrot cake later.

I never have. However, about 20 years ago I started working with a girl who was married to a guy I went to high school with. They ended up getting divorced and she became extremely bitter and jealous of him and his new girlfriend. They seemed to have the life she always wanted with him. He kicked his drug habit, had a huge job opportunity he took, bought a house and started dating his current wife. I actually felt for her, because that had to be hard for her, almost like she wasn't worth it for him to change. I can definitely see how people can feel jealous of others in certain situations.

So when he was with her he was doing drugs? And now she's bitter because his life became better and she's still inlove with him?

[Slingblade1126]

I think she truly hates him because of the things he did but is jealous of his new wife. Obviously I can't read her mind but I think she feels like she must not have been worth him changing for but his new girlfriend was and now he seems to have a perfect life. She's jealous of her and extremely angry with him. It's to bad, because she really is a wonderful person that stood by his side for a long time trying to help him. It's funny, she always said how it Pisses her off that he didn't cheat on her. Had he cheated on her she wouldn't give a shit about her life with him but he was just an underachieving drug addict.

Lol I think she needs to move on and find someone better who can make her more happy than he does. Im doing it rn Im moving on from someone who can't see my worth.

To live in peace you must stop comparing your life to other’s. And not everybody moves on the same page in life. It’s only you vs you, you gotta believe that your time will come when it’s your turn to be there, just keep pushing and it will run to you

[Asker]

Nice insight.😇

[whereismyjohnny]

No. I don't compare my life to others. I'm happy to see my friends and people around me succeed.

[JackCarter]

The only person you can accurately compare yourself to is you
So comparing yourself with others is the worst thing you can do
Try to be better than yourself from yesterday, a week ago, a month ago and so on

[Sonorous]

Nah. But I'm different. I really don't want certain lifestyles others have. It would just cause me more stress. I prefer to be alone.

[boggboss]

No its stupid to do so no matter how good u do in life someone will always be doing better u are not perfect why hold yourself to that standard

[Wise4myage]
