Question: ever felt jealous of their happiness?


Answers: ever felt jealous of their happiness?

Yes. I just started college this semester while basically all my friends from high school went last fall. While they were all making new friends, going to parties, and living without their parents, I was still around just working and coming home too my younger siblings and parents.

Since schools started it's been better but I still have A LOT of work I have to do to keep my grades up which forces me to stay in and study and or do work while many other people are socializing.

The best way I cope is by just thinking about the future and how my hard work and dedicaion will pay off, and the fact that I am getting my moneys worth for my education while some others are boozing it down the drain or just not getting as much out of it as I am. In addition, I always think how worse things could be and try to be thankful atleast for what I do have.

yeah no problem! good luck at school next year Report It

  • I'm the one having the better life ( I have never been on the suckey side of the spectrum).

    i def. have although know that i look back at their lives it is not as good as i thought it was

    yup/

    yes.
    a bunch of people i know r always having a good time and make it seem like life is perfect for them. theyre always going out with someone and im really jealous. no boys like me and i have a feeling people dont like to be around me because i cant have a good time or something. i guess i seem boring to them. i have no idea what to do!

    Yea. I do that a lot. lol. im not really jealous though i just wish that for once things could just be idk better. but im pretty sure a lot of people are like. don't worry your not insane. lol

    Yes, of course. But I hate the way they act and things to do to get it so I just kind of ignore it.

    Yeah, I get jealose when they talk about all of their achievements while I feel like a total loser. I just go home and get on my computer. Probably not the best ailment.

    hey i can relate! i feel this everyday, because i have had a hellish run in life and missed out, so i get envious feelings

    INterestingly enough, I seem to have what everyone wants. I am 25, married 1 year and just had a baby in December. But for some reason all I want to do is go out and party, wear cute clothes, and get drunk and dance around. Obviously I dont act out on this and LOVE LOVE LOVE my baby and my husband, but sometimes when I talk to my friends that live downtown in Chicago and have these crazy party lives and are dating all these random men I just get SO JEALOUS. But then I realized when I went out for the first time 2 weekends ago, these dumb b******* with all their fake hair and too much make up and dumb vodka tonics are all just out looking for what I already have. Kind of funny how that works.

    And I deal with it by loving my baby, cooking dinner for my husband, and finding new friends that have the same life as myself.

    Sometimes, yes.
    I am 33, single and living on my own. So sometimes I feel ripped off that I haven't found a good man to have a family with like most of my friends. But the grass is always greener and I sometimes get a true perspective of my situation and realise that being single has some wonderful advantages too. I have the freedom to do what ever I want. I don't have to wash anyone else's dirty laundry, wash their dishes. I am not enslaved to anyone. i can hop on a plane tomorrow if I want. I feel more creative and interesting on my own. This can be pretty priceless stuff. Till death do us part is a very long time and I've gotta admit, It is probably best I didn't marry young. I am only just starting to blossom now.

    If I get depressed I just remind myself of my last defacto relationship and remember how stifled I felt.

    yes, but I also count my blessing when compared to others, so try to see what is good about you and write a list of all your acheivements.

    On occassion I get a little jealous, but not to the same extent I did as a teen.
    Depending on what you constitute better life, I think it's a waste of time being jealous of what other people have -- you probably have something they don't as well.
    Next time you feel a little jealous, think of what you do have and other people don't. Work for what you want -- things have more value once you work for it.
    I may not be rich, I may have trouble paying for college, but I'm just happy I have the opportunity when others do not. My values have changed regarding what makes me happy -- they've become intrinsic.
    So what do you have that others don't?
