I'm the one having the better life ( I have never been on the suckey side of the spectrum).
i def. have although know that i look back at their lives it is not as good as i thought it was
yup/
yes.
a bunch of people i know r always having a good time and make it seem like life is perfect for them. theyre always going out with someone and im really jealous. no boys like me and i have a feeling people dont like to be around me because i cant have a good time or something. i guess i seem boring to them. i have no idea what to do!
Yea. I do that a lot. lol. im not really jealous though i just wish that for once things could just be idk better. but im pretty sure a lot of people are like. don't worry your not insane. lol
Yes, of course. But I hate the way they act and things to do to get it so I just kind of ignore it.
Yeah, I get jealose when they talk about all of their achievements while I feel like a total loser. I just go home and get on my computer. Probably not the best ailment.
hey i can relate! i feel this everyday, because i have had a hellish run in life and missed out, so i get envious feelings
INterestingly enough, I seem to have what everyone wants. I am 25, married 1 year and just had a baby in December. But for some reason all I want to do is go out and party, wear cute clothes, and get drunk and dance around. Obviously I dont act out on this and LOVE LOVE LOVE my baby and my husband, but sometimes when I talk to my friends that live downtown in Chicago and have these crazy party lives and are dating all these random men I just get SO JEALOUS. But then I realized when I went out for the first time 2 weekends ago, these dumb b******* with all their fake hair and too much make up and dumb vodka tonics are all just out looking for what I already have. Kind of funny how that works.
And I deal with it by loving my baby, cooking dinner for my husband, and finding new friends that have the same life as myself.
Sometimes, yes.
I am 33, single and living on my own. So sometimes I feel ripped off that I haven't found a good man to have a family with like most of my friends. But the grass is always greener and I sometimes get a true perspective of my situation and realise that being single has some wonderful advantages too. I have the freedom to do what ever I want. I don't have to wash anyone else's dirty laundry, wash their dishes. I am not enslaved to anyone. i can hop on a plane tomorrow if I want. I feel more creative and interesting on my own. This can be pretty priceless stuff. Till death do us part is a very long time and I've gotta admit, It is probably best I didn't marry young. I am only just starting to blossom now.
If I get depressed I just remind myself of my last defacto relationship and remember how stifled I felt.
yes, but I also count my blessing when compared to others, so try to see what is good about you and write a list of all your acheivements.
On occassion I get a little jealous, but not to the same extent I did as a teen.
Depending on what you constitute better life, I think it's a waste of time being jealous of what other people have -- you probably have something they don't as well.
Next time you feel a little jealous, think of what you do have and other people don't. Work for what you want -- things have more value once you work for it.
I may not be rich, I may have trouble paying for college, but I'm just happy I have the opportunity when others do not. My values have changed regarding what makes me happy -- they've become intrinsic.
So what do you have that others don't?
