When we go through shit, let’s ask, What would I do if I was supporting a friend in this situation?
If you want to know what matters to you, look at who you envy, and why.
schadenfreude, the idea that someone’s misfortune brings you pleasure.
“The envious man thinks that if his neighbor breaks a leg, he will be able to walk better himself.”
So does that dress make you look fat? If it does, that just means there’s more of you to love.
Instead of saying, “I feel anger” or, “I feel anxiety” separate yourself from the emotion and say, “This is anger,” “This is anxiety.” The emotion has to be acknowledged and identified, but that doesn’t mean you own it. It’s a moment we feel, not a moment we own.
