The story so far:
I see and hear this everyday. We don't have to actually say the words for them to come out of our mouths. Jealousy comes out of us in more ways than I can describe. Eye movement, hand jestures, tone of voice, sudden silence or my favorite purposely hurting someone's feelings to make yourself feel better. Now don't misunderstand me. That's not my favorite in the lines of, I like people hurting other's feelings. It is my favorite in the notion that it makes me laugh so hard when I see it happen because everyone knows what that person is doing but the pissed off individual seems to think we are ignorant and won't figure them out. I know I have done it myself in the past but I am saying now, that I refuse to look like that ever again.
To be honest, I feel bad for people that get pleasure out of putting others down. We all know that they probably don't really feel the way they are acting but it still hurts. For whatever reason they may have, they are taking out their personal frustration on others because they can't seem to deal with it themselves.
Everytime someone does this to me, the first thing I ask myself is, "Why is this person so mad?" If they only knew how ridiculous they sounded I think they may pipe it down a notch. Though, they would probably not have the problem if they knew they did this. I truly believe the only cure to this disease is "knowing". Knowing you have a problem with accepting things.
The moment I realized that my life wasn't as bad as I was thinking it was, became the moment that I started seeing things so much clearer. Just saying that aloud,"I have a good life", immediately gave me a smile. I have a wonderful family, who loves me more than I probably know, a cozy warm home to go to everyday, food in my refridgerator, a gosh darn cute personality that I can thank my mother for and goals that I can strive for. If you don't have things you want in life, things to look forward too, you are really holding yourself back. Most people that are mad all of the time, don't have goals. They think they do but the fact that they don't believe inside, that they can accomplish them, completely ruins the idea of it. Those are not goals and please do not do that to yourself! Now, before you go any further, I want you do try and think of three things that you really want to accomplish in your life that you are physically capable of attempting and I really think it will make you feel good inside.
