WHY AM I SO JEALOUS?
I feel like such a horrible person. Every time something good happens to someone in my life, I feel a wave of jealousy, and bitter about it. I congratulate them to their face, but inside I feel the opposite. Two recent things showed me this – my sister-in-law told me her daughter had won a scholarship and, while my niece deserves it, it really bothered me. I kept thinking why hasn’t my daughter got one and that it wasn’t fair. And, when my best work friend was recently promoted – something she deserves – instead of being pleased, my first thought was, ‘Oh no’. I’m happy, I have a great job, and my kids do well, so why do I feel like this?
