Am I Jealous Or It's Normal? by okomi562: 2:47pm On Nov 07, 2023
My friend recently got a job in one of the top banks in Nigeria.


I am happy for him. He did not tell me but I asked him for financial help but he said he is in training school. I got to know blah blah.


I am also a recent graduate with no work but I am teaching now.

I am happy for him, I congratulate him.

But yesterday, I felt sad because I thought when will mine come.

I just felt tired. I have seen far friends hitting success but it hurts when close pals get it. Like you begin to question did I get it wrong. Not that it pains me no. I begin to think of my plans too.

I am happy for him, I will not lie.

Am I jealous? Or is it normal?

I am here to learn.

So I can correct my self

Yes you are, but this is normal. But now you have added self pity then the next thing is envy.

You can already see that he has detached mentally, he did not inform you about the job or when the application began.

Start to apply aggressively and learn that at the end of the day, it is all man for himself.

He is not a bad person but his view of life just changed. New people who match his calibre and better opportunities, you guys are no longer mate.

But do not compare yourself. Start forging your path.

I wish you the very best!

Which bank?

Their industry may be shit but no full staff in any Nigerian bank can stay 8 years with nothing except he's a chronic drunk and womanizer.

I do not envy others. I just fear when I will get a job. I am currently learning data analysis and building myself. Its frustrating not self pity, when people get things, you don't.

Thanks.

The bitter truth about life is that as soon as your close friend starts getting a new job that pays well while you're unemployed, just know that your friendship won't be the same again.

Even though he might check on you every now and then, he will start spending more time with his colleagues and making new friends who are on the same level as him... That's life.

Just focus on working on your life and be happy for him even though the envy might be there.

Jealousy is actually a normal emotion to have. The problem is we have been led to believe that it is somehow evil and should be detested or rejected. undecided

Your friend has a job you wish you had too. So, what is wrong with that? Nothing! But, OP, you have a job too, something many others before you do not have so try to make the best of where you are now. Do your very best for those who you are responsible for now... so that when it comes time for you to move up, you will do so knowing you accomplished what even those who were ahead of you never did. undecided

Your moniker alone shows you're a fraudster and you patronize the mentally ill immigrants bedeviling Ogun State currently.

Hang in there, buddy. I like that you're doing a self-examination & trying to understand what you're feeling. I believe it's normal to feel as if you've been left behind. Especially seeing as it's a close pal. Don't hold a grudge if the communication starts to cease. I guess you could see it as motivation to make something of yourself.
Do so.

I don't know if it is jealousy.

What I know is that you are comparing yourself with other people and it is bad because it will always put unnecessary pressure on you which can lead to wrong decisions, depression etc

Stop that habit for your own good!!
Re: Am I Jealous Or It's Normal? by poshestmina(f): 5:56am On Nov 08, 2023
Jealousy is a normal human emotion like Kobo said ,but it shouldn't be extreme,to the point of hurting or hating the person.


Keep pushing.Your Time will come too.

I kuku understand you but don’t let that affect you in any way. Truth be told , we have all went through that phase at a point in our lives. Just be focus and determined . I resulted having this mentality that why not even struggle to be a man of my own, pushing hard to have diffrent source of income no matter how small bro. With time those ones will start to envy you. I could remember back then I was so frustrated that I took a 25k job and everything still goes to tfare , I will always think till I even fall asleep in the bus on my way home, depression was setting in but I didn’t let that define me or show it to anyone. One thing my dad always tell me is even out of your small salary , still give your friends that don’t even have any job at all😂😂. Baba I Dey do am oo, friends with good jobs feels they have arrived and instead lending a helping hand just ignored. God has just been faithful but most money I make comes from side hustle oo cos I still earn peanut but some friends Dey think say i Dey earn millions. Guy! Enter street hustle , Aswear money Dey pass dis out 8-6 jobs oo but don’t resign incase street sef Dry, something is sure at the end of the month
