Envy

Post Reply New Topic

I have to admit feeling very envious of those without mental challenges. Though I actually value my psychological makeup as being a unique asset and way of perceiving the world, it's quite not very conducive to making tons of social connections or romantic manifestations. It requires a higher level of patience knowing that I should have the good interpersonal things less frequently than others, though I trust that the quality of such things will make up for their lack of frequency.
The best cure for the envy is to care less, however I can't help but feel it sometimes and it is such an ugly emotion. It saps youth and poisons personality. Does anyone believe these feelings can be healthy and/or constructive in an aspect?

I don't have envy, but I believe if I had been a more normal person, I could have used one of my many interests in a more productive way.

I used to feel quite envious that I couldn't take part in things, but the older I've got the more exhausted I've become and I no longer have the energy to be envious of people without mental challenges. I've found myself actually being happy for people rather than wishing I was more like them.
