Feeling lonely and alone right now
I saw a story on Instagarm about this person who really gets under my skin. I just can't stand her-it feels like she's always being passive-aggressive and leaving nasty comments about stuff I do. She's been bullying me for ages, and now it turns out that she was having fun with my husband's friend and others, but we weren't invited. That made me so angry and frustrated.
I guess I think I'm better than her in some ways-I mean, I feel like I'm smarter and just generally a better person. But at the same time, I have no idea why I care so much about being seen as better or needing to prove myself. It's really getting to me, this feeling of anger and loneliness.
It seems like nobody wants to hang out with us. We're kind of on our own most of the time. Maybe it's just that we feel left out, but it also feels liek everyone else is happier and living their lives more fully than we are. They have these close friend groups and my husband's friends seem to be having a great time together without me. It makes me wonder if I'm missing something or if it's really just me feeling isolated

I can understand your frustration when encountering stories on social media that highlight others' happiness while you are struggling. It's important to remember two points: first, people often present a more positive image online than they truly feel in real life. Second, holding onto negative emotions like hate only hurts you and does not benefit anyoone else. I share this perspective because I have experienced the toll of bitterness and anger for much of my life, and I do not wish for others to endure the same pain.
