Why is it that some people just seem to have everything they could want?!
Question: My best friend, she just seems to have everything, everything that I have ever wanted, sometimes it seems like a cruel joke. My whole life I wanted a baby sister, she got one. I prayed every night for a year to have a close friend, she's got 12. I have always wanted a boyfriend, all the guys love her.
I wanted to be popular, she is. I wanted to be invited to every single party, she is always invited. I want a normal family SO much, she has it. I want a dad more than anything in the whole world, she has the best dad in the entire world. I want to be good at my school work, and I try so hard, she gets A's without even trying. I love dancing, but I can't at all, she goes to nationals.
And last but not least, we have these head of grades things in our school, and I really wanted to be the head of the grade. She got it even though she didnt even want it, wtf? then i feel like such a loser b/c I cant even be happy for her.
Can someone please tell me how to stop this joke?

There will always be those who seem to have everything, when you compare yourself to others. While I feel for you and wish I could make things better for you, the best I can tell you is that God loves you and He knows what's best for you. Tell him what you need and let Him provide for you. It may not be in the form of a sister or a great dad, but perhaps someday, with a great husband and children of your own.
If it is hard for you to be around this "friend" of yours -- maybe you need to find some more loving and understanding friends.
Be patient, sweetie. Life does get better as you get older.
Do you see her as your best friend or just someone to compare?It's you who can stop this joke because you think like that.
What if you get something but she doesn't have and wants it?(Like your face, your strength....?)
What if her family doesn't happy like it seems?
If you were her, would you like to be compared and envied by every of your best friend?
Everyone is special, you're special in your way,you don't want to be her replicate
No offense but this isnt a joke. Simply called life. Being invited to highschool parties, being popular and having good physical attributes isnt what qualifies as a good life.
I cant find the words to try to comfort you in your quarrel.
Instead of focusing on things she has, think of things you have that other people dont.
Think of that young etheopian child who eats dirt for three days straight before dieing of malnutrition.
Think of the young child who cowers underneath her bed in fear for her drunken step father to come in a sexually abuse her once more.
Your life could be worse.
First let me tell you I struggle with the same problem ALL THE TIME! I think a lot of it has to do with me backsliding from my Christian faith. Second although it seems like people have whatever they could possibly want (perfect family, popularity, good at sports, rich) anything you could possibly think of has nothing to do with the fact of being truly happy. I must admit I have a decent life. I DO have a good family, we're financially secure, I have everything I could want and more, yet for the past year I struggled with a deep depression because of my lack of abilities to make friends. I suck at sports I felt like I didn't have talents and my family couldn't understand what was happening. The only person that can make you happy is you. I'm positive one of two things will happen if you ask her if she's happy with her life. 1. She'll say it isn't rewarding or happy or fulfilling. 2. She'll say she is happy. The reason: because she accepts herself for who she is. And I guarantee you can too. Nobody has everything they want in life I can guarantee that. Just try to talk to her and see what happens. I wish you the best of luck. Treasure yourself.
