I have no empathy for anyone whose life is better than mine. Change my mind.

I have been miserable for as long as I can remember because of my parents (you can read the other stories I have written here, if you like). I am forced to be the parent in the house, my problems are not 1st world problems and I keep them to myself but I have colleagues and acquaintances whose lives are wayyyyyy better than mine. I know money doesn't solve everything but it solves most of your problems if not all and makes life easier. They make more money than I do, stay in 1500 sq ft apartments and more paid for by their parents or the husband, have invested in stocks, shops, have gold, savings, insurance, cars, other people in the house who are working and contributing financially, a loving spouse and a loving family, they have mostly everything they want and don't struggle on a day to day basis like I do and they still crib about petty 1st world problems.


Now you will snap and tell me, "Well, why can't you achieve everything "they have achieved". What is stopping you !!? Even to make money, you need money !! That is where I am stuck. I have no money, I work alone. No help from my father. I am also applying for a part time job (just fyi) over a full time. So 9 hrs full time job plus 6 hrs part time because my current company believes in hiring more people than rolling out overtime.


Their parents have done everything mostly and they live
privileged lives. Don't get me wrong, I am not jealous or envious of them, I don't want anything from them, they are not obligated to help me but I am not obligated to be their soundbound either !!! I accept it boils my blood when they crib crib crib and crib about petty issues. If they cry about real problems I'm willing to answer my phone at 4am as well and expect them to be there as well when I need them but I can't stand petty people.


If you don't agree with me, change my mind.
