Do you ever get jealous of people having a better social life than yours?

Question

I definitely don't because I love being social

It's funny, as an executive at my employment; I discover lots of people want to "connect" and "socialize" with me whereas years prior I was ignored like the plague. People are funny- the social atmosphere brings about the "surface" friends and it becomes hard to distinguish who really has your best interest at heart. I've had people come and go from my life. Most people want to connect out of some benefit to themselves.

In the end, what's important is building yourself. I've learned, at least for me, building myself is best and most productive when it doesn't involve impressing other people.

Don't spend money you don't have, to buy things you don't need, to impress people you don't like.

I get jealous if the reason for their success is my suffering. For example, I have a friend that gets HELLA women for being the guy with the single friend. I have been there when it happens. It'll be him and like 4 or 5 women and maybe another guy and they'll just sit there and talk about how I'm single. It never starts out that way but they'll be talking about relationships and exes and I can't join in because I've never had one. Then they notice I haven't said anything in 30 minutes and find out that I'm forever single. Then it just escalates. It's just a slight annoyance though, nothing too bad.

I do sometimes. it takes me a really long time to warm up to people. I've been this way since I was a child. I was always the quiet one and super shy. I feel like I may be sensitive to peoples energy and I can tell if they have bad energy or if they are going through something. i always warned my friends about certain people and I am always right about them.

I get jealous because I wish I could just bond with whoever. but at the same time im happy I don't let everyone in because I don't go through half of what people with 10000 friends go through. I have my select few REALLY GOOD friends and im happy with that ! lol

It's not that I get malicious with it, I just don't understand why I don't have friends.
Some people can be so cruel.
I've always been an outsider and the only time I was kind of accepted I was seen as a bit of an alcoholic clown.
I didn't drink more than anyone else, but I was always the single girl friend, I was always looking to have a laugh, so noone took me seriously

Well if anybody says yes they need to start thinking about things because if you are jealous from somebody because of that then you need to be aware it's your fault you're the one that needs to open up you're the one that needs to engage your social life any part of your life only happens because you wanted to or you don't want to do it's a choice so wake up if you want social life make it happen send me a message if you're shy say hello break that ice you have to change the way you think if you want a better social life

Sometimes, yes. When I’m not included and everyone else from a group I belong to is invited or comes along, sure (Especially since so don’t think I’m all that difficult to get along with).

I understand social media can show a fake image of popularity. I’m quick to realize I may not have all the details.

I can be introverted. The “wrong” type of party for me - can be draining. If that’s the kind of party, I’m fine with not going. I’m not into the drugs scene, I’m not a heavy drinker. I can have fun without it. But sometimes I do wish I was more outgoing, a bit more natural, and a little cooler.

NathanDavis · Answer

nope... I do not

for the most part, I am living my life the way I like to live it

and when others are having a great time in a way they want to live, that doesn't have to affect me and it doesn't really affect me... lol

Not social life, but maybe social skills lol. Some people can walk up to someone they've never met and have a meaningful conversation with them, like they've known them for years, and it always amazes and confuses me. I'd definitely say there's a little envy there. I try, but it's never felt quite as natural as other people make it look

Alex8736 · Answer

Things are not always as they seem. The ones who tend to always talk the talk or post massive amounts of selfies are very insecure and are always looking for approval from others but in reality the quiet ones who don't brag nor complain are the ones who walk the walk regardless of what people say or think

Ill_made_Knight · Answer

Nah, consider the percentage of people that you come across that you have literally NO desire to interact with socially. I'm good with having a few people around that I consider to be high quality

Vanidal · Answer

No. I don't.
We have ups and downs.
Focusing on how I down compared to others does not help me getting up. Just try to climb higher, I guess. Maybe they lack growth and I'm having a super growth that could jump over them 100 times!

Rania05 · Answer

Occasionally, but I try to think how to improve mine, there's always a reason psychological or material that someone has a better relationship with another.

hyperben · Answer

hard no, used to do when I was younger but really, if someone is happy, Im happy for them but a small (very small) social circle of good people i know and trust is fine for me

Ezra_lila · Answer

I'm happy being alone and if I have friends I prefer few but true

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

No, if theirs is better, they put more time into maintaining it than me. That's on me, and I'm okay with that.

katiesmuff · Answer

I am way too busy taking care of my own life to worry about what anyone else it up too!

lightbulb27 · Answer

When I was young, until I realized the screwed up messes they got themselves into.

Aerolyn · Answer

Nope, I've only ever been jealous of someone just being better than me academically.

Texaskid1 · Answer

Sometimes. But then I remember how most people are fucking idiots and I am glad that my social life is a bit more reserved than most.

Googlemyahoo · Answer

No I’m fine relaxing doing whatever I’ve partied enough. That and I don’t creep Facebook or instagram watching other peoples lives

The only people with a "better" social life than me are the heads of my House and I am not jealous of the social politics they have to play.
