Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I feel the jealousy or the hurt and then immediately pile on a second layer of "I shouldn’t feel this, a mature person wouldn’t"
- When I see someone living the life I want, this hot wave of envy hits and I just feel small and resentful
- I want to learn to feel genuine joy for people who do well, but if I imagine a rival succeeding I just curdle
- The instant I see someone else win, my gut reads it as me losing
- When I try to reassure myself I’m actually good at this, I come up empty
