Why Am I So Bitter and Resentful of Other People’s Successes?
I am becoming a very bitter, resentful person. Even with co-workers who I like, I can’t help but envy them if they’re in positions I feel like I would be better at, or if they get praise from the higher-ups and I don’t. And I definitely resent people who seem to have better lives than me, people I went to high school with who are now married with two kids, a dog, a cat, and a white picket fence. I see them taking their grand vacations all over Facebook and I just want to throw my iPad against a wall. I don’t know what to do. I can’t be happy for people, it seems. I wish I had what they have. How do I undo this self-centered part of my being?
