It sounds fucked up, and it definitely is

I just can’t help it though, even when it’s someone I actually really like I get mad if I hear they got a gf or some cool internship etc

Obviously this is out of jealousy not because I dislike them but it still pisses me off

Anyone else relate ?

The only reason I joined my college grinded this hard for my job and be as cracked as possible at my job is out of pure jealousy for people around me. I can't tolerate people being better than me. It's like burning fire whenever someone does better than me

I love my friends but I can't stand seeing anyone outperform me even if they earned it. I don't hold resentment towards them for it but it's annoying nonetheless. I don't think it's irrational though, it's our life, naturally we want to be the ones who succeed.

Interesting, I wish it motivated me as much as you. I see my friends get a Morgan Stanley internship and instead of grinding I hop on this fucking site :feelskek: but to hell with them, I’ll figure it out eventually

I wish, I’m graduating in a year with a 3.5 and one mediocre internship. But even if I had grinded all 3 years I’m not smart enough to be a quant

I’d like to think I’m not a complete idiot, my best achievement is probably getting an A in calc 2. But those dudes are a different breed

Which major? And are you in target uni?

Accounting.

It’s debatable if it’s a target but I’d say so, an elite uni at the least.

although most kids in my business school out networked me. And I have a bad reputation among some of my peers so the connections from my school probably won’t amount to anything

I’ve considered it but it’s just all so fucking boring to me, I’m at a point in my life where I’m struggling to figure out what the hell I’m gonna do to make a living

Relatable

This is partly why I don't believe true friends don't exist.

Even those who you trust the most will betray you or be jealous of you if you are successful enough

Interesting thought

Very big difference between being jealous and taking action about it. I doubt I’d ever take betraying actions against someone I actually liked even if in my head I was cursing at them

But if it was someone who I didn’t like but was a “friend” by title I probably would

This Nga a psychopath

Only way I’d do this is if I absolutely hate the guy (but then I doubt we’d be friends) or if I wanted the girl to myself or something

Once I actually tried it because of that. In freshman year of high school my crush was into one of my friends so I just intentionally made up weird shit about her so he’d reject her

I don't actively try to anyone's chances or relationships but I sure do hope they fail internally

You need to find a calling bro. I knew when I took up CS major that this is what I wanted to do in my life. Was half serious until 1st year and then locked in and now I'm doing well

Yeah I’m sorta in a slump right now, but I’m not too worried

Definitely less concerned than I used to be about careers, networking, internships, clubs etc for better or worse but I’ve definitely been way less stressed which is super nice. I think I’m just gonna play it by ear as time goes on

Obviously if years from now I haven’t done shit and I’m broke I’ll have to do something I don’t like but I have some hope
 
I hate when a country I don't like actually develops :lul:
