How to handle a weird existential feeling
I don’t know how to explain this and it feels stupid as a skeptic to tell.
I was at the grocery store, got done working out, covered in sweat and was in a bad mood. I was waiting in line and I was just ruminating on how much I hate my life. I had to cancel out on plans to hang with a friend due to me having a car payment coming up and needing to save money. A woman in the store was triggering my gender envy. It was mostly with how she dressed and presented herself. I don’t know, I just felt particular bitter about everything. I joke with people when im told to smile and say “I have nothing in my life to smile about.”
Which is mostly true for me. I work a job I hate, I go through the motions in college, im broke, I live with a bipolar mom, I am estranged from my dad, im autistic and I have irl friends but I don’t see them often. Only really twice a month. The way I see it metaphorically, everybody around me is swimming in crystal clear water and I am stuck in a pit of quicksand.
Envy has been a very recurring feeling with me seeing so many women and trans women. Just a part of me wishes I can be them. What can I do even if I am a skeptic? This feeling can hit me when im at the mall looking down at all the people below me.
