I love the thought of people thinking of me obsessively and wanting to be just like me.
Jealous/envious of me? No.
Impressed by me? Yes.
Inspired by me? Double Yes.
Learn a cautionary tale from me? No.
Edit: proofreading better…
frpm me?
Too late, cautionary tale learned. Jk.
My phone keyboard is bad. Fantastically bad. I suck at proofreading, but shit is it bad.
Anyway, cleaning up my terrible editing. Thanks for highlighting it. 😀
Any time! I make typos constantly, so feel free to point mine out in turn.
I second this
Here’s the thing tho. Nobody thinks about you even 1% of what you think they do. It seems like youre saying, “I need validation and want to be a part of the bigger world outside my own” which is totally fair. It’s even healthy, especially when compared to escapism and isolation. If your actions and behavior cause people to have a negative reaction, i.e. jealousy, obsessions, I encourage you to reevaluate what’s within yourself that desires that negative attention. People will think of you far far more if your behavior and actions gives those around you positive reactions. Trade the desire to make them jealous for inspiring them by being a healthy, upstanding rolemodel. Trade “I” statements for “you” questions. People crave and are drawn to those who show an interest in them, just as you admit to in this post. Make the world a better place, not a more anxious place and you’ll find all that attention you desire becomes a far more reasonably attainable goal.
… do people actually do that? As in, is strong jealousy really a thing?
I’d like to believe that each of us builds their life into the exact thing they need, so swapping places with anyone else would be terribly uncomfortable. So I can’t relate as to why anyone would ever be jealous i guess haha
I also don’t get your other replier. I too like the life I’m building but I would appreciate swapping with not having to worry about money haha
You’re thinking of envy, not jealousy so much: Envy is when you want something someone else has, jealousy is when you don’t want others to have what you have.
I wouldn’t want people to be jealous of me, people act very poorly when they are jealous.
Emphatically no. I cut people concerned with jealousy out of my life. That shit’s toxic.
I dont know you, but this sounds like narcissistic personality disorder.
It’s a common symptom of it.
Look through their post history lol
I remember your handle - IIRC you posted before about having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Wanting people to be jealous of you seems apropos.
No, to be honest I’d prefer not being perceived at all
No, that would make me a narcessist
No, i wouldn’t like to be a center of attention.
Nah. I’d rather go unnoticed by everyone outside those I love.
The older you get, the less you care.
After 30, it is very hard to give a fuck about anything beyond having a fat bank account to care of your dependants.
Idk man, I’m past 30 and I care less that I have money and more that everyone I love has what they need.
I’m over 30 and see true wealth as a measure of the love I give and receive. You can’t buy that.
Yes exactly!
Only people I really dislike. For everyone else, no, I don’t need or want their jealousy.
God no. I wouldn’t want to be jealous of me
No.
No one should want to be me.
If someone wanted to be me I’d feel nothing but pity and shame.
