Do you ever get jealous of those guys who have no issue finding women and wonder why bother to try when others have it so easy?
Have you ever been jealous of someone for something that you later realized you didn't even really want? Did you ever figure out why? What caused you to realize it wasn't something you truly wanted? Do you ever get envious/jealous of other people's relationships/friendships, if so how do you deal with those feelings? Do you ever get jealous when you see what people are up to on their Facebook or Instagrams?
I feel like my life is so bland compared to theirs. I'm just going to college while my friends are going out and partying, getting flowers and gifts from their boyfriends, and just being social overall. I feel like I don't have any good friends or real social life, and I don't know what to do :( I'm in my early 20s. I should be living it up! Have you ever been jealous of your partner having close male friends and if so, what did you do about it? Do you all get jealous of other people often?
What do you think?*
I am a young man who is currently in college. Personally, I will often find myself becoming jealous of what the most charismatic guy in the room has. His charisma, leadership, their ability to seemingly make the class laugh on command (while my jokes that I craft for like 15 minutes in my head are only met with a few awkward chuckles), and sometimes even their athleticism or looks. I realize that just being an introvert does not automatically equal poor social skills. There are other factors at play there too, but I definitely have thought to myself many times, "Man... if I could just be like that guy." At the same time however, it seems like in every single one of these situations these dudes end up doing something that makes me think, "Wow. I guess I really do not want to be like them after all." Maybe they did something that I found socially unacceptable or I discover that I am actually more on my purpose, getting meaningful things done while they are out partying. I am just thinking out loud with this one, really. I am curious if anyone else has has similar experiences though. Do you feel jealous of your friend's successes? Can you ever truly happy for them when you're so miserable yourself?
I'm trying to work some things out in my life and I realized that I am constantly jealous of my friends achievements in life. I hadn't really thought about it until today when I saw this:
I just don't know how to be happy for other people, it's really hard when I see my friends traveling, shooting movies, writing, getting auditions, jobs in big firms and I am just not meeting those high standards. We all started at the same place and I have finished the race in last place... I know some people just take a while to succeed and more than anything I wanna know, how the hell do I learn to just focus on me and my life, and not let others successes bring me down? Can it even be done?? What is the most jealous thing a SO ever did whilst you were in a relationship with them? How have you learned to stop being jealous of other people?
For a while now, I've noticed that I have a bad habit of putting other women down. They're usually friends of mine or people I know. I feel like I do it to feel better about myself. I'm super insecure and even though I do have a great life, I find myself comparing it to everyone else's. If you have any tips about how you stopped putting other people down, please share. I've noticed that I hate it when i see other people doing what I do and I don't want to be a jealous person anymore. Are you ever jealous of your friends? If so, why and how do you deal with it? How do you avoid feeling jealous of people who are the same age but have had more life experiences than you? I’m 25f and I’m discovering this is the age where is becomes much more obvious which friends receive a lot of financial backing from their parents.
Of course I’m happy for my friends when things are going well for them or they achieve milestones but I can’t help but feel jealous and envious of certain things too. One friend was gifted a house down payment from their parents. Another’s parents are paying for her (very nice) apartment while she finishes grad school and she’s currently on a spring break trip to Italy, also completely paid for. I know my life isn’t bad. I’ve worked hard to live fairly comfortably and I live below my means since I’m putting most of my money toward saving for a new to me car, a house down payment, and wedding. I’m far from the worst off of my friends and I’m sure there’s things that I have that others might be jealous of.
I hated feeling jealous when my friend was talking so excitedly about her spring break trip. I hate feeling bitter when another friend complains about something she doesn’t like about the model of car her parents paid for. How to deal with feelings of jealousy over financial differences?
