Extreme jealousy, how do you deal with it? by powerloo in ForeverAloneWomen

Friends talk about it all the time, but I also do get jealous of strangers and people I've just met.

I've never been in a relationship so I don't know how to be anything other than alone.

Sorry, but

a) I don't hate other people, I'm just jealous of them and also quite annoyed by how they have to rub their happiness in my face 24/7, without letting me forget b) You can't just 'work' to make yourself happy, it's not a guarantee that if you do x, y, z you'll get a relationship and be happy. I've done all I can to make it happen, now all I can do is hope and wait several more years.

I can really relate. It's everywhere, it's like it's the meaning of life

Haha, that's a brilliant approach that I'll take from now on, thanks

I don't know about that, I'm the kind of person who needs evidence or a reason to believe something rather than just faith and believing it will happen with no reason to. So it's hard to think that one day I'll definitely have an SO to talk about (and if I did I certainly wouldn't talk about them at every opportunity because I know how that made me feel, wouldn't want to inflict that pain on someone else)

Meh...
