[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, IDK whether this will resonate, but in both of the situations you have described here the scenario has not just been that you want a peak experience made even peak-ier—it is that you are unhappy specifically because you think other people who are present are getting something better or faster than you are.

If that is in fact a common thread, worth noticing that they are distinct situations and modifying the latter involves some different work than modifying the former.[/quote]

You're right, this is exactly it. It's really hard for me to get over perceived injustice. Like, if no one gets a view because it's foggy, whatever, it's bad luck. But to watch other people getting what I want and can't get is really hard for me.

Another post said I'm like a victim of Instagram, and it's true. I have really tried to step away from watching other people's perfect lives on social media, but you can't really get away from seeing them in real life.

(Side note, the table in front of us was this sugar daddy in his late 60s and his sugar baby, so to see my partial view, I had to also watch some nasty goings-on between them, and it was just objectively unpleasant).[/quote]

See, depending on what was going on at that table my husband and I would have gotten a story out of watching them. Not if one of them were beating the other or wev, but—think of that scene in Moonstruck where the young woman throws the drink in the older guy’s face. It’s an experience! That’s what vacations are for.[/quote]

Oh 100%. Dh and I would have created this completely ridiculous back story about them. [/quote]
