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.
