I’ve always been a little jealous of my friends’ success. I’m not going to lie, it’s hard seeing them do so well while you’re still struggling. Recently, one of my best friends was complaining about how tough things have been for her lately and I found myself being more sympathetic than usual because when she said “worst” she meant it literally! Her life is actually worse off than mine at the moment which made me realise that friendship is easier when you’re worse off than your best friend.
It sounds counterintuitive but if we were both living in luxury then there would be no way for us understand each other on an emotional level like we can now. When somebody has nothing left to lose they become fearless and are able to speak their mind without worrying how the other person will respond.
While we’re still in our early twenties, there are moments where I can’t help but feel like my best friend has it all figured out while I’m struggling just as hard if not harder than she is. But when you think about it, that’s an amazing thing! You couldn’t ask for a better sounding board and emotional support system during this time of your life then someone who knows exactly what you’re going through because they’ve been right there with you every step of the way too. Point being: don t be so jealous of your friends’ success- instead, try and look at why they have that success and reflect on what you’re doing to get there too.
Rewrite of first sentence: It’s hard not to envy your best friend when they’ve got it all together just as much if not more than you do- but that doesn’t mean they don’t want the same things for themselves as well!
It can be tough not being envious of our closest friends when their life seems perfect, just as much if not more so than ours does- but we need to remember they want the same things out of life that we do! Point is, don t let jealousy overshadow how great it is knowing someone who has been in this position before us because then we miss a chance at learning from them.
The Importance of Friendship
Walking away from your friends when you’re down, no matter how much they might try to help support you simply means that they can never be there for you in the way that’s needed. It’s hard not to envy them just as if not more than we do- but it doesn’t mean they don’t want what we want out of life too! Point is, don t let jealousy overshadow all the great things like having someone who has been here before us and then miss a chance at learning from them. So if you can t take me at my worst, I am still worth being your friend.
