Snapping out of it

Which describes an instantaneous cure. I can do that some - especially about jealousy. I can now tell myself that living with jealousy is being in a living death and to snap out of it. I can do that. Because the misery isn’t worth it to me. I’m the only one who gets hurt by it. Stewing in my own little world of jealousy is unintelligent, unexciting and uncomfortable. :slightly_smiling_face: :eyeglasses:

I know someone that I grew up with. He’s financially very well off but his personal life is a bit screwed up. I’m jealous of his material success.

He worked hard for his material success though.

Yes, there is huge responsibility behind having a lot of money. I remember telling affluent friends “No more gifts, no more love, please!” I like my low station enough. It’s all I can handle.

I used to be jealous of my sister because she has seemingly good circumnstances. because I did not appreciate how she treated me sometimes. so that made me feel like why does she seemingly have it easy whilst treating me the way she did sometimes.

how would I get over that kind of resentment? I don’t know how to just ‘snap out of it’

I am not sure if I am still jealous of her, I might be subconsciously idk…I neeed to figure that out @chordy

Yes, my jealousy was also mainly about my sister. I just decided it wasn’t worth it to feel that way. It blocked out too many opportunities for my own happiness. I was shutting out everything but her in my world. And that’s not fair. She’s not God.

When I was unmedicated, I fought with my brothers because I was the only one out of them to have sz and I thought they caused my sz. I told them that they’re stealing my energy.
