@Strongtea a jealous type?
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Yes I am, particularly of friends, ex girlfriends and people like that. 😢@popmol

@Strongtea how come? like you're jealous of their happiness?
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Happiness, success everything really. I don’t like how I am, but I do wish minor bad luck on them, they’re so perfect.@popmol

@Strongtea well if you do these easy steps you'll learn to be less jealous.

1: no they aren't perfect. most people have a bunch of problems. just not the same as you necessarily!
in case of friends:
2. turn it around, don't be unhappy because you aren't as happy as them, be happy for them. you want to see your friends happy, no?
in case of ex girlfriends: did you truly love them or were they a fling?
2. if they were a fling forget them, they aren't worth your time.
3. if they were someone you truly love, be happy like with friends for their happiness.

if these don't work depending on how you think about it you might have some narcissism.
most likely a healthy amount like most people, because we put ourselves first but if you think like these exes should have been mine and happy with me. i'd definitely revisit that and think about it.

@popmol thanks for that, that’s super interesting!

@Strongtea also these are "simple steps" in a way like they are simple solutions with not much difference to regular life.
but not simple as in you might need to change your whole look on life and the people around you and yourself.

so if they don't work, its not because you didn't try hard enough but they are just hard to accomplish.
