Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- The instant I see someone else win, my gut reads it as me losing
- When someone I know succeeds, my gut reaction is this clench, like they just took something off the table that was supposed to be mine
- 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
- I’m just starting out and I keep holding my clumsy early attempts up against people who’ve been doing this effortlessly for years
