The ENVY Poll

Post Reply New Topic

I envy people who can post anything on Facebook and will always automatically receive 10 likes and 20 comments, whether their post is stupid, mundane, interesting, bragging, bitchy, attention-seeking, etc.

I envy people who are popular and everybody loves and they know just what to say in every social situation and are the life and soul of the group

I envy people who work full time and don't get depressed or overwhelmed, might sometimes get fed up but can shrug it off and carry on, without having a panic attack

I envy people who can work in a busy environment with customers all day and love chatting with them and are good at selling, and don't have shyness or social anxiety holding them back

I envy people who have a lot of friends to invite to their wedding

I envy people who seem to have everybody's mobile numbers, even those who they hardly ever talk to

I envy people who can just make friends within 2 seconds of meeting them

I envy people who have had lot of friends and sleepovers as a child and teen, instead of having memories of being lonely

I even envy quieter people who still have some friends who want to be with them

I envy people who are intelligent, can memorize all sorts of facts and other useful stuff, and can focus on their interests (yes, that is most Aspies. I can't even do that)

I envy Aspies who still seem to be accepted and have a group of friends that want to be with them



All of the above is why I am on 50mg of antidepressants.

I am reminded of the Frieda Kahlo quote about how she tried to drown her sorrows, but then the damned things learned how to swim.

Most of the time I don't envy people but when I do its because others have closer friendships with people than I do. I used to be envious of seeing groups of people hanging out in town when I was a teen.

I mean, I struggle to communicate my ideas to people and understand people, but aside, I don't envy people as much. You just need to be content with what you have.

when I didn't have a pot to pee in nor a window to throw it out of, I was plenty envious of all the smug comfortable middle-classers I saw all around me avoiding me like the plague.

Lots I'm afraid, but it's in a funny deep seated way. Spent much of my youth deliberately dressing like s**t, stinking, constant melt downs, drink and drugs.

There's no need at all for me to dress up, and rarely do it, but enjoy it when I do. Not deluded about how good looking I am or not, avoid gyms like the plague, don't need to be admired.

Just read the thread through - that thing of leaving works of art lying about for people to find is excellent, wonderful and I love it.

I went through a period like that where I just let it all hang out and didn't give a good gad darn about anything.

If you want, you should check out the facebook page: Art Abandonment

If you click this "Mail Call" you should be able to see all the responses people leave after finding something, and it's just... we need more of that (I don't know if you have to join the group to see that, but it's a public group so it should work)

Also, I think I might envy people who are good at real trolling... I'm merely mediocre at it if I try

Oh, oh, I know who I envy! Free runners
I want to be able to free run so bad... I dream about it and it's amazing.

I envy those effortlessly rugged, fit and carefree types also. I feel like a defective crippled slug next to one.

That's a good way to put it... I was thinking along the lines of a bloated and beached sea cow trying to do ballet. Lol.
Before my body decided to go kaput, I could have been good at it I think. Stupid body. At least I can still watch them ^.^

I picked the second option, my life is not perfect but I accept who I am.

My life is far from perfect but I don't wish I had things cuz others have em. However I would feel envious of whoever Miranda Cosgrove dates

I eventually learned this, and I sincerely hope I can impart this bit o' wisdom onto yourself as well, that our bodies do the best they can for us, but it takes two to tango. I learned this too late in life.

so far the maybes are leading, with icecream in 2nd place and the yesses in 3rd, honorable mention
