In my experience, I’ve found only 2 ways to effectively deal with jealousy. Fortunately (or unfortunately), some of my friends are better-looking than me, taller than me, make more money than me, and are more popular with the ladies…
…Not that it’s a competition, but let’s face it, sometimes it is. And sometimes, it sure feels like you’re getting creamed.
One way to deal with jealousy is to tear the other person down. Diffuse. Detract. Talk trash. Obviously this is a very low-level way of coping, but sometimes you can’t help it and boy, does it feel good, am I right?
Just kidding. Or, perhaps, half-kidding.
