[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what I am seeing. Where OP could simply write, "we got the same test score on the SAT, which she didn't expect, and said these mean things, etc." she goes on unnecessarily about how she, the OP, is really both the glamorous attractive one who is also brainy. Do you speak this way in person, OP? If so, you are constantly bragging in an obvious way that you seem to think is hidden.

And then you assume that those who disagree with you have their own issues because we are unattractive or didn't attend good schools. That's downright delusional. [/quote]

Why would it make a person jealous if another got the same score as them? The jealousy stems not from the fact that she simply didn't expect it. It stems from the reason WHY she didn't expect it. She didn't expect it because: 1) I was more into the clothing, hair, being popular and going out on dates and 2) I never studied much. I have a friend who is a valedictorian and went on to the University of Pennsylvania. She roomed with a pretty, partying cheerleader type of girl. Both were chemistry majors. My friend used to call me and with some regularity complain how much it bothered her that her roommate would get straight A's despite not studying whereas she was killing herself to maintain a B average. I was shocked that my friend was so insecure. She was the queen of confidence in high school. But I realized such jealousy is a reality of some people. So get over the fact that I described myself as "glamorous and attractive and brainy" because whether I truly am all these things is not what is supposed to be at debate here. The fact that you keep focusing on that only reveals your own insecurity: how can OP be all of these things? She must be lying for sure! She must be bragging!  Get over it because where I grew up being or having these things was not uncommon. Focus on the real problem I posed - what does one do when dealing with the reality of jealousy that stems from these reasons? [/quote]
