[ { "from": "human", "value": "My close friend and roommate became a multimillionaire and I’m extremely jealous/depressed over it \nMy close friend that I’ve known for close to a decade now has been a cofounder in a startup that started around 8 years ago. He owns a pretty big share (maybe 20%) and I never really thought much about it because startups have such low success rates. But recently I’ve come to realize that they’re past a point where less than 1% of startups fail after that. They’ve raised over 20 million dollars in investment funding, so he’s now worth tens of millions of dollars. Ever since it truly hit me I can’t help but feel extremely jealous. We live together at the moment and I don’t feel like seeing him or speaking to him anymore out of jealousy. I know that sounds horrible and I should be happy for him, but I just can’t help it. I literally cried over this yesterday and it’s making me quite depressed. I’m thinking of moving out after having lived together for 4 years now just so I can get this out of my head and stop thinking about it." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "It's normal to feel this way but remember everyone's \"luck\" is different.

The bus was so crowded I couldn't get away from him. Everyone noticed and did NOTHING said NOTHING. Other older man started watching and seemed entertained. I live in a third world country. After the man got off the bus some people started talking that it was very disturbing what he did but NO ONE did NOTHING to stop it.\nI got home crying and told my parents what happened. They blame me and tell me that it's because of the way I dressed. That I deserved it for not dressing appropriately. That it was my fault. I was dressed In a short large dress with no cleavege (I'm petite) and it's not even a dress, the skirt part is actually shorts.\nI was trying to explain how miserable I am but they kept interrupting me, shouting \"you should have done that, that\". I told them about another situations that happened 4 years ago where I was also sexually assaulted in public. But that time I was dressed with a lot of clothes. They told me my fault that time was that I didn't scream or say anything. So again it's my fault.\n!!!!! They said that it's my fault that he thought I was a hooker (this hurts SO much my heart aches)\nIt's my fault for what happened today implying that I deserve it.\nThere are no words to describe how I am feeling right now. I am a very sensitive person in general and a lot of things affect me deeply.\nI am crying my heart out right now in the corner of a dark room praying for someone in this world who would come right now to give me a hug and actually listen to me and understand me. I want to overcome this (I have 1 week until uni starts, idk how I'm gonna do that) but at the same time I cannot believe these are MY parents and this is what they told me and think of me.\nI am so traumatized and crying incontrollably right now that I feel like I'm gonna explode. I feel betrayed and unprotected.\nThe point for this post is that I DO NOT want to go mentally insane from everything that happened. I do not want to wake up one day in the mental hospital.

You will feel upset, but i can assure you that you won’t end up in a mental hospital. I very much had the same reaction and your emotions will be volatile. The best thing for you right now is to find comfort in someone you trust, and just let out all your emotions. I didn’t have that so i bottled it up a lot and it did not help at all. PLEASE DON’T BOTTLE IT UP, IT DOESN’T HELP AND YOU STRUGGLE MORE IN THE LONG TERM. Try to sleep too, it may be difficult but you have to try as you can have a new viewpoint when you’re not tired.

But I think you need it.\nFirst, please consider therapy. Your self esteem has been heavily affected and yes, therapy can and does help that.\nNext, men have very screwed up ideas about what women want in a partner. A survey of 64,000 women was done asking what they want in a partner. https://nypost.com/2019/07/24/this-is-the-no-1-thing-64000-women-want-from-a-lover-survey/\nThe number one thing - kindness.\n\"Almost 90% of the women rank kindness highest among desirable qualities, followed closely by supportiveness at 86.5%. Intelligence received about 72% of the vote; level of education had 64.5%; and rounding out the Top 5 is confidence, with a little over 60%.\"\nNotice that none of the top five involve physical attributes.\nIn fact, when women are asked about penis preferences, very very very few answer that they want anything over average. There's a lot of reasons for that. For most of us, large pensises are actually painful during sex. That area down there is not infinitely stretchable, not to mention there's organs completely surrounding the vagina.\nSo where do people get this concept that women always want huge penises? Porn. Not even kidding a little bit here. The overwhelming majority of porn is produced for male fantasy. What women want rarely comes into the picture. Men fantasize about being massive down there. So porn utilizes that fantasy.\nBut porn has about as much relation to real sex and relationships as high school musical does to actual schooling. So holding on to the fantasies put out in porn doesn't help you. It's actually hurting you.\nI'm not saying porn is bad. But I am saying it's acting, it's fantasy, and it's not what women want." } ]

When you truly love someone even their farts are wonderful, so if you are not comfy with nudity then find someone who understands and respects your boundaries, someone who truly loves you for who you are and then you will understand that those women out there who shame like this are the ones who are empty and ugly on the inside and with that they will never find true love tbh, they will die lonely and insecure." } ]

Please don't give up because life is made of atoms all reacting to each other in one way or another, so you matter, no matter how small you might feel, you still EXIST and that's enough, i bet you make other people smile, i bet you make your family happy, i bet you make your workplace a positive place. I bet you're a decent person through & through, this world already has enough assholes, we need more people like you, who actually care about things, because right now, I see someone who wants things to be better." } ]

You shouldn't HAVE to toughen up, but you need to. Bullies and mysogists love being around weakness, because it feeds their ego.\nI speak from experience here btw. I grew up around misogyny and worked in male-dominated fields and have always enjoyed what is considered to be male-dominated hobbies and interests. I decided I wasn't going to let men take it away from me. Unfortunately, that meant I had to be much better, in order to be viewed as on the same level. So, I had to put in much more work than male counterparts. It has been a frustrating experience, but sadly it is what it is. Thankfully, times are changing and some countries are better than others when it comes to the general treatment of women.\nI suggest focus on your strengths as a human, and aim to surround yourself with people who respect and motivate you. If it's a general culture thing, then aim to get away from it and move elsewhere. If that's impossible, then maybe a bit of action is required from you and other women in your country.\nOne thing that i did many years ago for my own sanity was to start my own freelance graphic design company, working online. Initially I used my real name, but after a little while I switched to the company name only. Clients just presumed they were interacting with a man. The difference was like night and day. Less drama and more respect, just by being presumed as male. It was interesting and a relief, but also really quite sad too. We still have a long way to go when it comes to this kind of stuff, unfortunately.\nBut, back to these men. Their opinion of you has no worth. Do you value them in your life? Respect them as men? If the answer is no, then why would you allow them to affect your self-esteem? Obliterate the negative thinking because you are reinforcing their abuse and abusing yourself. Start to be kinder to yourself. Being a woman is wonderful, but if you can't handle that right now, just think of yourself in terms of a human. Focus on things that empower you and don't let them win.\nI hope you can succeed ❤️" } ]

These people put their efforts in coming up with ways to incite others to react, but if your reaction is of uncomfortability or you get clearly upset, you get labeled as a \"snowflake\", and they will keep messing with you knowing you cannot handle things.\nI have always hated how in the recent years, it is hard to make jokes because people are using offence as an attention seeking strategy.\nSadly however, the practice of getting offended by everything, birthed people that think high on themselves, and will mock anyone that reacts negatively to their statements, even if they are unfunny and completely deranged, because they now think that the problem is not them, is the \"weak minded\" that can't handle a joke, even if the joke is not a joke but targeted harrasment.\nThis is worse on kids, because they are easily impressionable and they spend a lot of time on the internet, so they get exposed to this kind of behavoir, and they try to forcefully replicate it on their own environments.\nMy brother did not grow up on this, but around his 20's, he adopted this kind of behavoir too, is not as bad as with kids but when he starts acting stupid, if someone calls him out, he just devolves the conversation into declaring that the person is \"crying\".\nIf you happen to be on discord servers related to gaming, you will also see this \"anti-snowflake\" a lot, and I have been an spectator of one instance in which in a group of people that usually played, one kid mocked another so much, because he knew the other always reacted negatively, people kept being added to said group and eventually, about 3 or 4 were also participants of it.\nIt always started with mocking the \"bad\" way the kid played, and with that, they escalate stuff until it all sounds bad and inflammatory.\nYou cannot stand up to them, because they just call you snowflake, they listen to no reason, and when I attempted to, one of them dismissed my message just becauase it was a paragraph of about 4 lines.\nThe kid was constantly harrased like this because he liked playing with one of the group that did not mock him, but that guy enjoyed playing with the others as a whole, and never said anything regarding the issue.\nThe kid was eventually driven out off the discord server.\nSadly, it is more cool and funny to inconvenience people than being nice.
