[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's ok.  Deep inside at your core , you are competitive and you're getting your ass kicked by this individual.  It's ok to be competitive and nobody wants to feel like a loser .  In the grand scheme of things you are a winner but compared to this person you are a loser.  You will never catch up since she is too far ahead.  It's better to hang out with your own kind, that stuff can eat you alive.[/quote]

I actually kind of agree with this poster's assessment of the situation, but on the other hand I have a little bit of a different attitude about how to address it.

This is life; some people will have more of the things you crave deeply for yourself. Don't just run away, face it like an adult and learn to deal with it. There was an article in the WSJ today about a wealthy wall streeter who jumped off of a building leaving 4 children behind because he was focusing on others who had more and he felt he couldn't compete. Don't torture yourself like that.

Also, don't try to find reasons to knock this woman or other people who you are envious of; that is a weak person's strategy to feel better. Just face the facts of life, appreciate your own strengths, and continue to build upon them. Focus on competing against yourself. [/quote]
