I love the thought of people thinking of me obsessively and wanting to be just like me.

I dont know you, but this sounds like narcissistic personality disorder.
It’s a common symptom of it.
Look through their post history lol
Here’s the thing tho. Nobody thinks about you even 1% of what you think they do. It seems like youre saying, “I need validation and want to be a part of the bigger world outside my own” which is totally fair. It’s even healthy, especially when compared to escapism and isolation. If your actions and behavior cause people to have a negative reaction, i.e. jealousy, obsessions, I encourage you to reevaluate what’s within yourself that desires that negative attention. People will think of you far far more if your behavior and actions gives those around you positive reactions. Trade the desire to make them jealous for inspiring them by being a healthy, upstanding rolemodel. Trade “I” statements for “you” questions. People crave and are drawn to those who show an interest in them, just as you admit to in this post. Make the world a better place, not a more anxious place and you’ll find all that attention you desire becomes a far more reasonably attainable goal.
Emphatically no. I cut people concerned with jealousy out of my life. That shit’s toxic.
No, that would make me a narcessist
No, to be honest I’d prefer not being perceived at all
No.
No one should want to be me.
If someone wanted to be me I’d feel nothing but pity and shame.
… do people actually do that? As in, is strong jealousy really a thing?
I’d like to believe that each of us builds their life into the exact thing they need, so swapping places with anyone else would be terribly uncomfortable. So I can’t relate as to why anyone would ever be jealous i guess haha
Pardon me, but you sound very privileged here, in the spiritual sense of “stop being poor” or “just don’t be depressed” etc.
If that was your intention, you’ve succeeded admirably.
I’m both depressed and grew up poor so idk what you’re on about
Getting jealous at people who appear to have it better isn’t exactly a productive solution to either of those
An average person doesn’t mechanically compartmentalize emotions and puts them aside because they aren’t “productive solutions”.
It’s good for you that you’ve managed this kind of selfcontrol in order to improve your life. But that’s because you’ve numbed down the things that do you harm.
A person that isn’t depressed doesn’t have that kind of ‘benefit’. Emotions run freely and wild without fear. And cause all kinds of trouble.
Lovers being jealous of outside attention to the point of madness.
Siblings being jealous of biased parental love to end up estranged.
Children in patched up clothes on the streets begging or on the fields working - being jealous of children dressed in brand new school uniforms and going to school together.
Any person in a hospital bed with a terminal illness watching through the window the world living a life they can’t have.
And so many other examples…
Productive solutions don’t mean shit when it comes to strong emotions and jealousy can be very strong at times. Strong enough to murder even. I mean forget about the world-ending news regurgitation, at the local level where the average person lives, jealousy is high up in ranking as a reason for commiting crimes.
Tag was accurate
Nah. I’d rather go unnoticed by everyone outside those I love.
No, I don’t want to attract thieves and weird fans.
Not at all
No, quite honestly I do want to live an enviable life AND would be so happy if everyone else did too. I do not want other people to literally want my life, no. I want them to be too happy with their own lives to care about mine.
Hell no. The green monster can friggin kill you
I’ve had people jealous of me. People who tried to steal my spouse or thought they would be so happy living my life.
It didn’t make me one bit happier. Sometimes it made me suffer, that they didn’t see that things were really difficult for me in ways that were invisible.
That feeling that I thought was wanting a perfect life was really needing anxiety meds I am way happier with well-adjusted meds.
Not really, but I don’t mind pissing off people I don’t like and I’m not going to protest if it’s caused by jealousy
I love the thought of people thinking of me obsessively and wanting to be just like me.
Depends what for. If you’re consuming and spending money you don’t have to look successful to your peers, I’d say no.
If you mean jealous because of how good of a person you are, maybe.
Either way, I would hate people thinking of me obsessively. I’d rather just be left alone and let me do my thing.
