[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, does anyone have advice for getting over the envy of a SIL who is always upbeat, happy, and projects constant perfection? Everything is awe and wonder, from the cookies she baked with her kids to a sunset to her brand-new puppy to her new deck and on and on. Sometimes it's all a bit much because she shares this stuff in texts constantly. It is ALL RAINBOWS all the time.

I am going through some issues with my parents right now and just beginning to feel annoyed by her constant Pollyanna-ness. I also want to do some internal work on my envy. Anyone been there and have ideas?[/quote]

Where do you live? I get it I’d find this annoying too and not bc I’m envious just bc it seems sort of fake/boring. I live in LA now but am from NYC originally and gravitate more toward people who have a darker sense of humor and are deadpan. I’ve met some people in LA like this. They actually say things like ‘I couldn’t be happier! Best day ever!’ I honestly sometimes reply Lol bc come on couldn’t we all be happier. I’d just Mhmm in your replies
to your SIL and keep it short and sweet. I’ve found people who are this cheerful are often depressed, and it’s what they need to do to talk themselves through the day. [/quote]
