Very envious of other people

5 Comments

I am very envious of other people. Especially when it comes to love/relationships and education. I am in college but I started late. I hate when I see strangers, friends, and family graduating already or getting master's degrees. I can't stand seeing or hearing about other people's relationships. The only relationship I've ever had wasn't even real. It was just a way to humiliate me. I can't be on social media too long because it stirs up my envy. Sometimes I get a news story in my feed about someone's accomplishment and I have to hide it.

This envy sends me on a spiral downward. I feel like such a worthless, inferior person and seeing all of that just reinforces it.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Stop comparing yourself to others, and compare yourself to your former self instead.

    Change your world, and your thoughts will follow. You need to find what truly makes you happy in life, and find confidence. Confidence, and ego are two different things.

    An extremely common problem is that most people compare themselves at any activity against what someone who has spent years perfecting.

    Comparing yourself to someone else's best is never ever a valid comparison.

    Focus on your improvement and your goals... Only use the other people as an example of what can be achieved by you after you further develop yourself.

    You gotta figure out how to get passed it. Sounds like a fragile ego. People around you probably notice it in the things you say. Its one of the worst qualities a person can have really.
