How do you deal with comparison?
I feel like I’m always around people who are doing better than me financially and it makes me feel like shit. I’m in my early 20s and every one of my friends have an apartment and I’m still living with my mother . my friend just said in the gc today that she got a new apartment that’s 7k A MONTH . I don’t even make 1k with my paycheck rn lmao .
instantly felt bad I want to feel happy for her and I know I should be but I just don’t. it feels fake when I try to be happy It’s not fair how she just got a new luxury apartment but I just got back from the grocery store and had to transfer funds from my savings, just so I could afford something to eat.
I know I probably have it better than most people . I had money in my savings to allow me to get whatever I wanted to eat , I went on vacation last week that I saved up for , I have a roof over my head.. I have all these things, but I still crave more and to see others have what I crave makes me sad because I’m putting in the work and still don’t see a result
How do you deal with comparison? I don’t wanna be a jealous person the rest of my life feeling like I’m in a competition with friends
EDIT : For those think I’m lying . we live in NYC she’s moving to tribeca by the piers that is a very expensive area if ykyk
