I have bad memories which I'm reminded of when around them. When they seem to be blissfully ignorant of things, I think of times when I was like that. They also get attention.
I'm not mean to them or anything. But I am jealous.
I'm jealous of kids too. But only because I'll never be a child like them again. I'd do anything to go back to a worry-free, stress-free time where all I had to worry about was getting up for school on time.
Last night, I dreamt I was a kid again and I was taking a history class on Law Enforcement and how the rules have changed/will change in the future. What was wierder was the fact my teacher was the very principal from my elementary school, Mrs. Brown.
Understandable indeed. What I find perhaps most striking is the highly special attention they receive, enjoying a status in society that could be considered no less than sacrosanct. I never experienced such a thing (in fact I was treated like trash when I was young), so admittedly there's a bit of resentment there.
Jealousy is a useless emotion and does you no good. It won't change a thing and it doesn't make you feel better.
You need to understand why you are feeling these things and solve those problems. Your life is here and now and whatever has passed should be left in the past. You may be a product of your upbringing, but you need not be restricted by it.
Im going to say not normal....but its normal to want attention.
do you have friends or family to get attention from?
Was your childhood bad so your jealous of the ones that seem happy? you can make your life happy now :)
