How to Stop being Jealous?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Lately it seems that I've been jealous of way too many people.</p>

<p>For example it seems everyone has jobs that pay well like $10 dollars an hour(and I know a few people that do get that much). I had a job, but quit cuz it stunk. And everyone has good jobs. Also everyone is doing GREAT summer programs and stuff except me who's stuck at home doing nothing.</p>

<p>And then it seems like so many people are smarter than I am, but don't deserve it. I have been a nerd since like 6th grade and have always worked hard to be ahead, get good grades etc. But then other people come along who seem to have achieved things so easily. Like what?!?!?!?!??!</p>

<p>Can anyone help please?</p>

<p>Nope...chill and be happy for them</p>

<p>Calm down, and stop worrying so much. Does it really matter?</p>

<p>The way to avoid jealousy is undergo a substantial shift in personal values.</p>

<p>Now that I've started playing NetHack, I no longer care who's smarter or wealthier or better dressed than me, or who copies my work! The only thing I care about is the NetHack high</a> score list -- and my ascension count can be improved quite easily by playing more. :D</p>

<p>Of course, in absence of NetHack, you can always turn to Religion.</p>

<p>I'm been through a similar situation. it sucks for a while, then you just get over it. focus on what's postive about yourself and continue to improve yourself for your own sake, and not just for beating others.</p>

<p>fizix, you mention NetHack in almost every one of your posts. I'm starting to worry...</p>

<p>after awhile your jealousy will probably go away</p>

<p>I've looked at NetHack before, and it looks incredibly boring. I don't understand how you can be addicted to that :P</p>

<p>Same here. It's this little guy you can barely make out running around. I'm not sure there's an objective.</p>
