i have a friend whom i knew since high school. i haven't seen her for years but we kept in touch through emails and phone. she is always happy when i talk to her & she has good life right now & has a good job. while here i am raising 3 kids and working 2 jobs. so i finally saw her couple of weeks ago. she looks so much the same as the last time i saw her. she was very nice and we talked and i actually had fun hanging around with her. but after that, i felt sad or something. i thought of how nice she looked & how happy she is. but why i felt sad maybe because i was jealous of what she becomes of? at the same time, i am happy for her. strange feeling...

i guess u'r just SLIGHTLY jealous? but think about it, you've got kids and thus, a family! her having a good life and job doesnt mean that she doesnt envy u.

Maybe you're just being inferior of yourself, because before you stand just the same as her.

..for me, maybe you are just comparing your life unconsciously to her life.. you see her happy while you are struggling.. you feel happy for her but at the same time, you feel sorry for yourself.. you wish you could have a life just like her.. but again, these feeling are unconscious to you.. i mean you don't think of these feelings but somehow, deep inside you, this is actually what you feel.. Anyway, never lost hope.. this is life.. we have to face it..
