Do you feel jealous when someone younger is better than you?

My brother is 15...yet he seems to be doing WAYYY better than I was at that age. He also has way more friends than I do right now...in fact more than I ever have. His antidepressants work and mine never have. He’s considered attractive and I’m not. He’s doing so well in school. I guess it’s stupid to be envious of a 15 year old, but I kinda am.

One of my older brothers was like that. He and his drinking friends had the right of ways. I was just put off to the side. I wasn't anything with him. Rarely did we talk. It be 9 yrs since I last saw and talked to him. But I never thought he was "better", he was drunk.

@SW-User I don’t have that many good memories. We used to hate each other. This year, we’re best friends.

There you go. That's great. The best is yet to come. @ShaythePanTransMan

@SW-User Yeah, I guess so.

I am sorry ... It is understandable. But, at 15 his story has not been told yet and neither has yours.

@SweetMae it’s whatever. I guess so

@ShaythePanTransMan You might be surprised how things can change over time.
