How to stop being so envious

Good looking dudes often never develop a personality or wit. I saw this in high school and college. They don't learn to work hard and hustle.

One day they find themselves selling used cars.

It's actually a curse. The world can be merciless to them. Your 20th anniversary high school class reunion is very telling.

Cheers

We often don’t have a choice in what happens to us, but we do have a choice in how we respond to it. You’re fixated on the former, when you need to spend more time on the latter.

So what if some dude is better looking, richer, taller, gets more girls. There will always be something better than you out there, but you’re not in competition with it...

Do you have a purpose? Do you know what your aims are 1 year, 5 years from now etc? What you get out of life is entirely down to how you relate to the world around you. Acceptance is a large part, and so to is knowing what you want for yourself.

You are a victim of your ailment, but that doesn’t mean you have to lead your life being defined by it.

Good luck working through it man.

Realize that things aren’t always as they seem. You can’t possibly understand what it’s truly like to be someone else without actually being them. You don’t know the demons that they have. You could very well be looking at a projection of years of neglect, feelings of worthlessness, anxiety, you name it.

People are strong because they have needed to be strong, you’ll find your strength too.

It's the things out of my control that make me bitter

Stop focusing on things you can't control

Research stoicism, you can't change the fact that other people seemingly have better luck than you, but you can change how you react to it.

I honestly feel this exactly. My "brother" is 6 feet tall and I'm not so I cut him out of my life forever. I'm 25 and am doing monk mode until I'm in my 40s and will Hurt them all. God didn't put me on their level so ill cut burn slice and shoot them down to mine. Make them and their kids scream out to god the way you have in pain. That will bring you true joy
