Topic: Envy, Jealousy and Hate

<p>Why do I envy the people I know? Shouldn't I feel happy for them? For an odd reason I am filled with anger, jealousy, and hate. Possibly because it seems that their dreams are becoming a reality and mine are not. I loath being greedy and yet it is a part of myself I can not control. Confusion,depression, and jealousy currently overwhelms me. There are times when it feels like my life will never amount to anything.</p>
<p>I know this is a strange place to seek advice, but I love anonymous responces because it makes me feel like the person responding is truly being genuine. Here on this site we have the freedom to be our trueself, because here there is nothing to be ashamed of. We are all here because we share an interest, and it doesnt matter who we are or where we come from... we live on the same earth, breath the same polluted air. Im just seeking a few comforting comments. Thank you.</p>

Sounds like you've gotten some good advice so far. Maybe it will help you feel better if you look in a different direction. Instead of focusing on those who seem to have more than you, look at all the less fortunate and be glad that you're doing better than them.

If you worry about someone or something you will have an opinion for that. Its compulsive because your brain has stimuli and reacts.
The best way is to live your own life and do not worry about others in a way of evaluation. Let them be or have whatever it is.

Honestly , that's just human nature. for me , I feel happy for others , because I know they would feel happy for me. All about support there. Why are you saying you can't acquire things you want? You have to work for those things. You can do anything you put your mind to , in basic human confines of course.

I understand the feelings. Been there. You need to learn that you measure your life against what is on your path...not what others have on theirs...you have the chance to be what and who you want...comparisons to what others have or want...those are their choices...concentrate on yours...it is your journey to live..take it on for you....

what is it you are envious of? their happiness? if so your unhappiness is called depression. seek help! i hope you can learn to value your own circumstances and not those of people around you. i understand what low self-esteem is about...and it can make everything in life look so much better than where you are at. seek help and stay strong. it can be better!

The jealousy I would say comes from Facebook. People always posting things that I can not personally acquire such as relationships or materialist items. Another form of envy comes from seeing others getting closer to their dream jobs, when Im not. Again I don't like feeling jealous it just seems like a natural response that bubbles from within.

Can you give an example? can you mention a couple of people you know and why you envy them? why you are jealous?

There are two areas of your blog I can relate to. The first is depression... I get that seriously bad. Those who are close to me know how bad it can be, but I'm coping with it by taking each day as it comes.. and logging on to here to be with friends (it gives me company). The second is envy. Envy (envious/jealousy) because I see couples together, and it makes me feel more alone than I am already. But to counter that (to myself) I also think of my past where I have had boyfriends and been treated badly! lol. So, I just relax and say to myself "Good luck to them... I really do hope they'll be happy". Anyhow, I hope in some way this helps? Good luck ;)
