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

    Jealous/envious of me? No.

    Impressed by me? Yes.

    Inspired by me? Double Yes.

    Learn a cautionary tale from me? No.

    Edit: proofreading better…

    You’re thinking of envy, not jealousy so much: Envy is when you want something someone else has, jealousy is when you don’t want others to have what you have.

    I wouldn’t want people to be jealous of me, people act very poorly when they are jealous.

    I remember your handle - IIRC you posted before about having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Wanting people to be jealous of you seems apropos.

    Nah I’d rather they leave me the fuck alone and focus on their own shit. But I have nothing for anyone to be jealous of I don’t think.

      The thing about jealousy isn’t it ain’t about the object, it is all about “muhh feels”

      And you would surprised how deranged people can get lol

    The older you get, the less you care.

    After 30, it is very hard to give a fuck about anything beyond having a fat bank account to care of your dependants.

    Only people I really dislike. For everyone else, no, I don’t need or want their jealousy.

    Not really. I find when people are jealous they either try to cut you down in subtle ways, or they self deprecate and guilt trip just because you happen to have something going right for you.

    I’d like to be admirable, I think. I’d prefer to rub off on people in a positive way than a negative one.

    No; jealousy paints a target on your back. I’d rather people wish well for me and feel that my victories are at least indirectly theirs.

    Failing that, I’d want others to be unaware of my existence.
