Do you struggle to be happy for others/ are you a jealous person?

Do you look at life with a pessimistic or optimistic view?

I’m an Aries. I’m rarely jealous of others and I’m an eternal optimist

Eternal optimists don't wish death on people just because they disagreed with them.

Cut the bullshit.

I’m always happy for my friends and family when they get what they want. I want the best for them.

Love that. Always rooting for my friends as well

First things first - you seem to confuse "envy" with jealousy. Jealousy is defined by a deep state of anxiety (both anxious feelings and thoughts), the fear of losing something or someone that means a lot to you - to another (for example: losing your favorite car in a divorce - or loosing the one you love to another). Envy is about yearning for what others have (be it their possessions, their skill, their personality, their fame, their family, their lover and so on and so forth).

That being said - envy was never my thing. For most part of my life - i yearned only for what could be mine - while taking in consideration my personal resources (be it intellectual or hard work and such). Even role models seem somehow detached from my personal beliefs (i never really aspired to be like someone in particular). I studied the work and teachings of certain big names that happened to capture my interest - and for a while - some of them did manage to take me for a ride (their philosophy spoke to me - as if it's something i could/should follow - to become a better version of myself and such), but the person itself... always proved to be somehow disappointing (kinda messed-up if not clearly: alcoholics, power drunk and overly controlling, overt or covert narcissists and such). That beings said, if there is such thing as divine inspiration - then the person itself is just the middleman - the messenger, so... I'd rather use the message as guidance (than praising and following the messenger). The message that proved to be true - that is. For example...



Anyway, i did struggle with jealousy in the past (in private... since she wasn't my gf/wife... so it didn't seem like something worth sharing - tho, she was someone really close - someone i cared for deeply - and thus the possibility of loosing her had an equal impact on me). A practical jealousy if you will (facts based not fear related hunches and such) - cause that fear proved to be an accurate foretelling. I guess some people learn things the hard way - while growing-up (and changing as a result), tho - past experiences influenced by naivety/stupidity - can be quite embarrassing 😅 and laughable in retrospective (this too is a "Santa/Easter Bunny is real" type of thing...



Also, as the saying goes "to much of everything is bad for you..." This saying applies here too - both for people that are overly pessimistic and overly optimistic. I find both types heavily obnoxious - to be honest. The overly pessimistic type can be quite draining to say the least 😩 - while the overly optimistic ones can be the most annoying/enraging/unrealistic people you ever met...🤬 That being said - i prefer the middle ground (a bit of both in healthy dosses). That's where common sense lies (which is something both extremes are lacking... severely).

Based on your posting history here you are easily offended, take everything personally, and fast to lash out at others.

I wouldn’t say your negativity, name calling and wishing death on others, is the behavior of an optimist 🤷‍♀️

Jealous? No

Envious? No

Optimistic? Yes

Happy? Yes

Enjoy seeing others win and overcome? Yes

I've been a cheerleader to MANY ❣️

I'm to blessed to be envious. If anything I downplay my success to not alienate others.

Please just go away.

People shouldn’t have to walk on eggshells around you and be careful with how they word things to you. You lash out and attack people because they don’t say the things you want to read or hear. You misinterpret a lot as well and just start lashing out on others.

You’re not anything you say you are... you don’t know yourself at all. Your sexuality changes at the drop of a dime or you get fixated on someone new.

No one has to walk on eggshells . And to clarify I’m a lesbian but once in a while I get crushes on guys, I’d never be with one. You don’t know me, and you don’t know anything about me. If you don’t wanna be involved in anything I post , fantastic, but understand I have just as much of a right if not more to be here than you bullies

But you do react way too fast to posts without really reading them. All it seems to take is someone offering a view that you don't seem to want to hear and you take it as an insult?

Anytime I’ve ever done that, and there have been a few times, I’ve ALWAYS apologized. And I realize I react too fast and I’m working on that as well. A lot of people on this website are unfortunately relentless bullies . So of course I’ve become a little defensive .

If they are indeed bullies, then why not ignore them? They will have no effect on your life at all. If they are indeed bullies, negative reactions will only cause more people to side with them, rather than you.

I’m starting to realize that.
