Why do people tend to waste their time on being jealous of one another? I can't help but think that I've royally pissed one of my
It wouldn't be the first time I caught this person being a less than best citizen of friendship. There was this instance where I found hard evidence of them expressing their ... well I guess the nice word would be 'dislike' of me, and I couldn't believe what I was reading, totally stumbled upon by accident.
Believe me, I've known myself for a long time now, and there is absolutely nothing I posses for anyone to be remotely jealous of, unless they are upset that my 5 o'clock shadow shows up at 11 AM.
And what do you do when you feel this person and their dislike toward you? Shunning glances your way, brushing you off, walking past without acknowledging your presence? I've become accustomed to always saying what's on my mind, do my initial response would be to grow up or some form of inappropriate language. But now, as I am more mature, I tend to just let it sit and stew.
Now I know that the sitting and the stewing is just fueling the fires for the future - when this individual just pushes me to the ultimate limit and I just go off on some kind of tantrum and destroy everything in my path with a vernacular shitstorm. It's sad to say, but usually when I am yelling at someone or when I am deep into an argument, I say the best things.
I guess what I'm trying to get at is it takes more time being jealous of someone than it does to just get over whatever the situation is. Why worry about things that you can (possibly) never have, or things you'll (potentially) never get to do? Besides, jealousy leads to anger which leads to frowns and then much needed anti-wrinkle cream.
Don't worry - Be Happy (and get over it).
