I'm a volcano about to erupt!

Post Reply New Topic

So I have always had a problem with jealously and have been able to hide it well but as I get older I think its starting to show by my body language and tone of voice

See I have this friend and she and I are a bit similar but she is a bit more confident.I envy her.I told family i wish I was her.Some days I think to myself why am I still friends wit her BUT she is really nice to me and a good person.Its just me I know I have a jealousy problem and need help getting rid of it before it gets out of hand and say something I regret

Any advice??

how can you be sure she's so confident?
i clearly don't know the situation past what you've put in your post, but it could be that it is all external and inside she's not that confident. lots of people put on facades like this.

judging from her treatment of you, she sees you as an equal fortunately. and hopefully not condescending.

what kind of body language do you see yourself display?

The fact that you acknowledge it is the first step. Most jealous people aren't even consciously aware of their jealousy. Do you have self-image issues as well? I learned pretty quick that I cannot base my self-worth on how others perceive me, and I cannot create an idea for my own self based on trying to be like other people. It got me absolutely no where in life.
