Just the other day I went to a party and met a guy who's the same age as me. He was talking about real estate and investing, which struck my friends and I as odd as no one else our age normally talks about that kind of stuff in the first person perspective.

I did some research when I got home and found out he comes from a wealthy family and owns multiple properties at 26 years old.

How do I stop the feelings of jealousy? It's just so unfair. I get that life is unfair, but I can't help but feel jealous about it.

Stop comparing. Every person experiences a different reality than everyone else. What is meant for you is meant for you. Focus on being content yourself, and if you aren't content, then act and change something about it. But just know that once you have it, you'll probably realize that you never cared that much in the first place.

Now imagine how browns feel in modern times when the existence of Europeans is known around the world. If you're inferior you simply have to accept it and move on, you can try to better yourself in the ways you can.

I know you're both right. It's just tough having to accept that someone can be so far ahead of myself, through pure dumb luck. For reference, the person I met owns at least 7 properties at 26 years old. His father owns a real estate/title company.

Again, I understand that logically I shouldn't compare myself to him and should be happy that I have a stable career with a decent income... But it's hard not to, emotionally speaking. I can't imagine basically being able to retire or not work right now. It would be heavenly.

Same thing happen to me. My girl has a sister, the sister has a bf, the kid comes from a rich family with a present father. He knows a lot of investing because his father taught everything he could and gave the dude like 100k to start investing. The kid knows about investing but everytime he talks about other things it kinda makes me laught. But it's okey, no one should know everything about everything.
I come from a working class family, absent father, overworked mother, he was around until I was like 13 and then basically disappeared. Luckily I hit jackpot with BTC buying around early 2020, but still live the working class type of live.
I'm not jealous of him, that taught me understand the meaning of a strong family and a strong father figure, the value of teaching your own how to get around in life.

Jealousy is resenting what someone else has.
Envy is aspiring to what someone else has.

There's even a part of jealousy which is associating what someone else has with the individual themselves; a part of jealous is sickly of that it's even wanting to sort of *be* someone else. A healthy envious person would express their surprise at that and say to the person how that they want that -
>how did you get that? how can i get that? damn, i need to get there one day. congratulations, what's managing that like?
and that kind of behaviour separates the thing from the person because then it's just being spoken in a way of that anyone can get it. Resentment and jealousy comes from thinking in terms of it being humiliating for you and then wanting to hide that humiliation and pretending you don't want it, and that itself is unhealthy mindset.

This feeling comes from an idea that you deserve whatever other has. You need to play the hand you were dealt, such is life.

As other anon said, if you are not happy with your reality the only solution is to change it.

Want to know more about investing and real estate? Start learning/reading.

None of your friends talk or maybe even interested in those topics, but your feelings are a clear indication that you should know these topics. Think of this interaction as a fateful encounter where you realized that there are things you should be doing outside of "go to school / get a job".

I had a similar encounter, and I felt like shit, I was jealous and angry. World seemed like a rigged and unfair place. Now I actively working on changing my situation. It sucks, i'm constantly tired. Once I get a hang of a topic, there is always the next one. But I would rather have this feeling of progress and self-improvement than occasional bouts of rage because life is unfair

also I am 34 and I am in a similar position and own several nice properties in desirable locations, but I can experience resentment in other ways. I worked from 22 to 33 to get a good FIRE and I missed out on a lot of what other people experienced in their 20s. When I hear some people talk in ways of how the party days are over and how fun their youth was and how that

Meanwhile I am completely free and financially set dating women 5 years younger than me. Its all about mind set. Those people you envy probably envy you in some ways also. Yea it would be nice to have a family, but its also miserable having a family in the current times. A lot of stress and things that can go wrong with kids.

Women are emotional creatures, and ambition is a feminine trait.
It's clear you lack will power to control your emotions and you are insecure in your own existence which fuels your ambition. Man up and nut up. Read a book on philosophy, jump in the ocean or go smoke a pipe.

Not rich, but wealthy. Rich for me is 10 million and more. I never made over 100k. I made some great options bets on commodities like natural gas and did very well. It was extremely risky and nerve racking. Hit some home runs plus I have been saving and investing aggressively since I had my first job at 18. Also bought my first home at the right time. It nearly doubled in value

It wasn't luck, because you need to be educated and you need to know markets. Which means watching the markets every day for years. I know a good amount about investing in commodities so I ended up timing a few trades perfectly and they paid very well. Timing is everything in trading. Other passive index etf investments did well also. You have to watch markets all the time to capitalize on trades and be in the right place at the right time

Dont listen to these literal house niggers anon. You should feel furious.
I met a guy like you described, trust fund kind, owned two rental properties at age 25 despite never having held down a job longer than six months, he was a total douchbag. Tried to cuck me with a girl i was sleeping with, always insulting everyone around him to establish 'dominance'i guess
I broke into his dorm room one day and trashed all his electronics, +$5000 in total damages. Then i went to his fridge and put minor amounts of poison in his milk.
After that i jokingly told him to his face what i had done, while he was still realing from having his stuff destroyed and being poisoned.
Do you know what mr alpha did after that? He slunk off with his tail between his legs. Couldnt even hold eye contact with me after that. Completely shook him.
Life isnt fair, but you can be stronger than they are. Some day we're going to round up these rich imbiciles and leave them in mass graves, and liquidate their assets, and theres no time like the present to focus on weapons training, basic tech, building networks , etc. to expediate that day.

Don't listen to the bootlickers, your feelings of jealousy are entirely justified.
We live in an egalitarian, democratic society. The grotesque income and wealth inequality is morally repulsive and indefensible, because you juat know rich people did not earn that fair and square.

Rich people are fucked up. They obsess over literal digits on a screen like retards talking about pokimon cards or call of duty. They think because they have more points than you that you are worth less than them. I’ve worked many rich people. THEY. ALL. THINK. THIS. Sure they may seem nice to your face and feign humility, but it’s an act. They hate regular people and frequently refer to regular people as dogs or having babies like dogs or (insert whatever animal or insect). They are also mentally fucked up. Many are divorced and have zero relationship with their children. Look at will smith. Look at Jackie Chan. Look at elon musk. Look at Angelina Jolie. Multimillionaires are no better, just smaller. Doctors have fucked up kids—autistic, distant, lgtbq, divorced, etc. lawyers are also fucked up. So on and so on. They live in their glass palace, but it’s very fragile. If you’re middle class, love your family, and your family love you, you’re doing great. A person can always get money. Not everyone can get love. Of course this is 4chan and you’re all a bunch of retarded incels so you’re fucked up and come from a poor single parent family anyway.

Whatever way you want to use words, the matter is separating reactions. There's difference between wanting what someone else has, or feeling small and resentful because of what somene else has, generally 'jealousy' is used for the later. Envy isn't necessarily a peaceful thing, you can steal and kill out of envy, but it's a focus on the object of desire while jealousy is resentment of that someone else possesses it. Jealousy is rather a destructive conclusion as jealousy is the feeling of bitterness and loss.
You see resentful comments here are not the envious
>I want what they have
but are instead the jealous feeling, like someone else's gain is your loss and it's almost like it's been taken from you and you've been denied it
>I want to destroy this world that they have it

https://www.dictionary.com/e/jealousy-vs-envy/
>Simply feeling upset that you don’t have what someone else does—and wishing you were in their position—is usually considered envy.
>In contrast, feelings of inner resentment and the outward hostility that sometimes results from such feelings are both thought to stem from jealousy.
>However, it is often said that envy can turn into jealousy—and the point at which it does may not be so obvious.
>One distinction that is sometimes made is that jealousy centers its negative focus on the person who has the thing that you don’t, while envy is more centered on the desire for the thing.
>A practical difference between jealousy and envy is that jealousy is always a noun, while envy can be a noun or a verb.
