I agree. I am jealous of people all the time. And wonder why the hell I sit around worrying/caring about stuff that no one else does! But you are not alone. Just remember that. This is why we're all here. Good luck.

Well said. People seem to think it's imaginary, but it's good to know I'm not alone (but of course it'd be better if no one dealt with this shit).

Agreed. It can be scary. Thinking everyone is focusing on you. Everyone is judging you. But they're not! I'm going to attend my first Depression Group Meeting on Thursday. I'm really nervous. Then Tuesday I'm going to an Anxiety Group Meeting. Both have me sick at my stomach. But I just keep telling myself that I'm going to be in good company. And, Heretic, I hate my life right now too. But pain is temporary. Just keep swimming.

And try to evaluate your emotions by their motivation. Sometimes that helps me rationalize them away. You are envious of people who can make friends easier than you can. That just comes down to jealousy, jealousy over someone else's abilities, which you have no control over. Maybe you'll never be able to make friends as easily as some people. But that's okay. Instead of trying to make lots of friends easily, maybe you focus on trying to just make a few friends, slowly and methodically.
