Is your life envied by others?

Post Reply New Topic

Well... Some normal people can entertain themselves by themselves... others, in my experience, tend to entertain themselves by bitching about others, maybe I am being harsh but it seems that way to me? If you have your own world you don't really need to b***h about others to others because what would be the point if it isn't relevant to your world. It makes me like people all the more when others b***h about them, makes me realise how shallow some people are!

Oh? SuperBoy? What is your lifestyle??? Curious

My sister envies my lifestyle. She wishes she could live at home with mom and dad like I do and have zero responsibilities. She says I'm spoiled rotten, so I try not to let her find out when I get new clothes or other goodies.

She could have had a life like mine if she didn't choose to get married and have children so quickly. Now she has responsibilities as a wife and mother, and if she wants extras she's got to go to her husband (but she doesn't like that because he tells her no sometimes).

Also, when I was in elementary school, all of my friends and classmates were jealous of the relationship I had with my mom. They saw how close we were everyday because my mom was a playground supervisor. Some of them asked my mom to adopt them, while others allowed their jealousy to manifest in the form of spreading nasty rumours that my mom and I were lesbians with each other.

Actually yeah, that's a good point, I have very little responsibility, except I have to hand in my uni work vaguely on time.

But I don't think other people could choose my life because I don't experience sexuality so it's not like I choose to have a relationship or have kids or anything like that, it just doesn't really occur to me, like i don't fancy anyone and I have no desire to have kids, I'm kinda content in my own world and that is my life.

So yes, my life is G.R.E.A.T. but there are many things that it seems unlikely I will do, but does that matter...?

How would other people feel if they couldn't have the things they have and ONLY had what I have?

Maybe they wouldn't envy it?

But there can be times when it is more than tolerable so long as I forget that there are alternatives

People sometimes envy my mask, but they don't envy me. They may think they do if they believe me to be the mask, but the envy is not for who I am but for who the mask is. I can understand why, it's a really nice mask and I've put a great deal of work and effort into making it presentable. It can do public speaking, it can hold eye contact, be reasonably engaging, sympathetic, it has a great deal of free time, is happy and mostly pleasant. But it's still just a mask, at home I do not wear it. I am not it nor it me.

I'm sure few would envy my existence, but I've heard a few people say things like that.

I think when people say that they just want a vacation. IOW, a temporary release from the downsides/drudgery/work of having a family, spouse, career, mortgage, etc, but are in no way interested in giving those things up permanently. It's wanting to "have the cake and eat it, too."

It's like how people in relationships often seem to love to complain, but most aren't even close to wanting to be single again, despite all the complaining.

Yeah ive sensed that people are enviable of the fact that i don't work and i'm not struggling financially. I'd swap with them in a heartbeat. They can have the total isolation and suicidal feelings. I'll have the job, the degree, the independence, the girlfriend, the joy and the friends please.

I believe everyone who knows me pities me.

It's funny, the things we envy on paper (relationships, house and car ownership etc. etc.)
are really the biggest burdens we can imagine.

Nigerian orphans envy my lifestyle. That counts, right?

Yes, people have always tough that i don't deserve what i have and were envy me.
