So much for karma/whatever! He’s a huge selfish success!
Huge house, wife, kids, career.
It bugs me. Selfish and successful.

I know youve probably heard this a thousand times, but you really shouldnt concentrate on others successes.
Try to concentrate on creating your own happiness wherever you can.
I just recently got out an episode and I have a chance at creating some happiness again. You have it in your power to control at least some of your own destiny. Selfish or selfless, we all have at least some control over our lives to make changes for the better.
This is what you should concentrate on, IMO. Being jealous of others does nothing for you except fester unhappiness and spite.
Not to preach or anything…

I think you need to be a little selfish, and a bit of a narcissist to make a huge splash in this world…but that’s just my opinion.

I have a sister…… she has two daughters and a husband who is a doctor. She has a successful normal life. I think about her life compared to mine sometimes not that much though…. I try not to let it get to me. I think about my own life and things that I can’t say on this site and I feel better.

I know a couple of young women with autism who have gone on to have families successfully and nice lives. It seems like schizophrenia is one of the worst mental conditions to screw up your life. Yes, my life is far from normal or rewarding or satisfactory

My one bro is very successful and a bit narcissistic but has serious eye problems and has to deal with lawsuits a lot. I wouldn’t want to trade places.

Well. A selfish person is usually harder to love.
The question is, if he dies will anyone truly love him. Maybe his wife and kids are already waiting on the inheritance.
I think if you try to contribute to people’s lives with attention and love, you might not have a house, money, wife and kids. But you might be loved.

He never really cared about me. It was always his way or not at all. Everything had to be done on his terms.
I asked him for some help with an elderly relative and he didn’t help.

I used to be selfish. I was taught that way by my father. I felt like karma hit me and I developed schizophrenia. Some people are lucky/unlucky. I feel cursed. I’ve changed over the years though. I can’t really be selfish when I need help and rely on others now.

I used to be borderline narcissistic like a lot of men in my extended families and some traits in my immediate family. I got the most selfish traits by far.
But I’m actually trying to get out of the selfishness in me. So far, it’s worked to a degree, but maybe not as substantial as I would have wanted. I still compare, and I feel like if I get past this vice, then hopefully I can get past selfishness and find my joy.

I’ve felt this way. Not about my siblings but my cousins. They did not help with my grandfather before he passed and got his house and didn’t buy my mom out so technically all of us own the house but they are the only ones living in it. It’s a large house. Anyway I figured out it was unfair and that’s why I was feeling that way.
