Younger people

@lavenderCranberry3121 I think it's quite valid to feel envious of others when they have something we lack or couldn't have ... different eras and age groups have their own set of struggles and experiences 💕 also different people have different paths in life and thus life looking differently for everyone 🤗

I've always felt like it is pointless to be jealous or envious of others. I think it is a waste of time and energy. We can focus on what we have and learn to appreciate what we have. We do not have to focus on what others have or feel lesser than because we don't have something or due to societies idea of what we should or shouldn't have or should or shouldn't be. Also, the grass is not greener on the other side, so we never know what those who look like they have it better than us are really going thru. They might look at us and envy us. Also, we don't have to feel bad we can improve ourselves and focus on our wellbeing, development, and achievement if we want to better our lives. I also think it's a self-esteem issue so we should be careful how we see ourselves and others because good self-esteem is a part of a healthy life.

It sounds like you have some regrets. I think this is very common. I wonder what you wish you might have done with your life? Maybe someone here might be able to give some ideas, that might allow you to achieve some of those things in some small part, and thus feel a little more satisfied?

I find myself often jealous and envious of younger people. Sometimes it saddens me a lot because I am older and feel like I just wasted my life, and I get jealous because a lot of them are what I'll never be nor ever have those qualities and characteristics.

I’m jealous of those who are young and married because they found love so early on and I didn’t and still didn’t. Jealousy is just an indication of something you want but it’s beyond your control. Don’t envy though because then you’re gonna harm that person or group in some way

Dont waste anytime….. start living to your fullest now. I have always thought about it. There used to be a time when we used to boast about good times we had recently. Now we talk about it saying 5 years ago, 10 years ago, so on.

Nothing is impossible, you just have to find the way to do what u want, do it, be happy and you will have fresh good memories to talk about always, and no regrets.

@lavenderCranberry3121,

Hi Lavender, I can understand how you feel. Thank you for sharing and acknowledging the sadness. I want you to know that YOU are unique and have your own great characteristics and qualities that those other ppl don't have. Regulating Emotions and thinking about our regrets is hard as humans. I myself sometimes get those feelings of jealousy toward younger people who are taking hold of opportunities that I could have when I was in my 20s or 30s, or that are married with children or found love easily. 

   Each day is anew, looking forward to what you can achieve, can help take the power of those past regrets over you. What are some of your characteristics and qualities that you are proud of? What are some things that you can do that is ageless that would help dissolve the jealousy of younger ppl? Honestly envy is something that create other negative emotions, and reactions. What helped me deal with envy, is the thought and attitude that I do not truly know what is going on in someone's life looking from the outside in. It is usually not as perfect as what we think. Take care and focus on what you can do right now to make you more satisfied with your own life. Hugs :)
