It's crazy how "jealousy" is so apparent in people. It's almost like envyous people put on a coat with the word JEALOUSY written on the back of it. It's just that apparent. It seems like people hate to see others being sucessful when it's not them. They always try to make you feel bad or knock something that you have down because, again, their jealous over something you have that they want.
Now I don't mean to sound self centered or rude in anyway by this post, but today was just a huge eye opener to how many people HATE to see others have something good. Even people who you thought were your friends, are sometimes the ones throwing the biggest "jealousy" punches. I almost hate sharing good news or something nice that I have with other people because they always try find the negative in it. What the hell? I'm trying to share something cool with you or something that I'm excited about, and all your doing is trying to find every flaw you can.
That's when your a** gets the cut. I just can't deal with negative people's bullsh** anymore. They only want to hold you back so you stay on "their" level.
So if your dealing with any jealous/envyous people in your life, it could be at your job, your school, or hell, even in your house. Don't feed into their negative attitudes. Because again, they want you to stay on their level so you don't succeed/recieve anything that they don't know how to get.
Word of advice to all the haters out there, "Stop trying to put others down for something they have that you want, and try to figure out how you can get it for yourself."
ON ANOTHER NOTE.
I'm really excited about how many people are joining or want to join the "TAGGED" game. I've read everyone's blog who has participated and even read all the comments. Some of you don't seem to understand why you were tagged or even why we're playing this game at all. Well, that's cool. I'll explain:
I'm new to the whole blogstream thing and just thought this game would be a cool way for me and maybe some of you to get to know one another. To me, friendship is key to having a successful blog. Maybe I should've changed the rules to were you can only tag someone you "don't" know. But again, I don't know many of you. So for those of you who are playing, thank you! I hope everyone now knows my purpose for starting the game.
Let's see how far this thing goes. Post your thoughts.
I once worked with a lady at a print shop who was pleasant enough to talk to, with the exception of whenever I said something like, "My wife and I went out to dinner last night," or "We looked at a house for sale in such-and-such-a-place yesterday." To all such news she would say "Must be nice," in a not very pleasant way. I learned to stick to subjects which weren't likely to inspire that dreaded pronouncement. Envy is a major challenge for many. It is the most corrosive of sins.

Hello, my name is Anexplorer (hello Anexplorer!) and I am a jealous person. I'm here today to get my ten year pin for sobriety from jealous behaviour. Oh, I still occasionally lust after the fabulous successes people sometimes have, the wealth they accumulate, the wonderful things they own, but I have been totally free from any desire to see them lose those gifts and free from any desire to see them come to harm.
I just sometimes want what they have, and resign myself to getting it the hard way. I work for it.
by Ty021 (PM , CC ) on Tuesday April 29, 2008 @ 7:06 PM
Tyler it is true what you posted about jealous people. I agree with you. Sometimes it is best to walk away from the negativity and be with people who have your best interest at heart and who can celebrate with you and be happy with you for your sucesses and be supportive when you experience losses. That's what true friendship is.
I love the fact that you have jumped right in and and meeting alot of the cool bloggers on here. We do have a great community of people who are caring and kind.
Bear Hugs and I hope you are having a great evening Ty!

Tyler:
I think you will find that most of the bloggers on Blogstream are kind, considerate people. My advice is to block those bloggers from commenting who abuse the rules for blogging.

Hi Ty !! I wouldnt worry about the haters or the jealous people, you just live your life for yourself and if others have a problem with it then it is their problem and not yours. You just stay true to yourself and everything will be fine. By the way, welcome to Blogstream !!

Ty, you are a sweet feller. The tag has been fun! I've bee following it as well.
Some people fail to see the joy in other peoples lives or share in their joy unfortunately. For some, their life seems to be one drama after another, and always something negative out of their mouth or by their actions. They always look to blame somebody finding the negative just like you said. What most don't realize is that a change in THEIR attitude would turn things around for them. Keep on bloggin, Ty! and avoid those negative people if you can't talk some attitude adjustment into their thick heads!

Ty,
All of the ones that were tagged and played really did know what they were doing, and why. Some of us just have a warped sense of humor and chose to pick on the person we tagged. See, I just made sure the person I tagged knew who to blame, I knew I didn't have to threaten her with turning into a Chia pet, I just had to point her in the right direction. LOL. I just blamed it on that new dude, Ty.

I try not to get sucked into the petty and bitter jealousys of others. It's best to let it slide off your back and walks away when the conversation turns bitter.

Hey PolarB! Everythings going ok right now. The end of the school year is in 3 weeks so I've been really busy studying and finishing up some things before finals. I'm planning on posting something in the next couple of days. Thanks for checking in!

I guess I Would be lying if I said I wasnt one of those people who sometimes find all the pit falls in peoples happieness. I dont mean to be that way. Steven and I work so very hard for everything we have and sometimes the most shallow ungrateful fucking assholes have everything handed to them and it really pisses me off. So sometimes I wish bad things on them, or just ruin there little good luck spell. Sometimes karma just doesnt do a good enough job or get around to it fast enough... But if you are a good person and decerving of the goodness that is coming your way I would never put you down. but thanks you gave me a good blog topic for this evening. Later, xoxox Tinkerbitch!

Hey Tinkerbitch, It is sometimes frustating when others seem to get everything handed to them, and I also get a little jealous sometimes. But trying to bring someone down becuase of my jealousy, isn't the best thing to do. Thanks for commenting!
by Ty021 (PM , CC ) on Wednesday May 7, 2008 @ 3:16 AM
Ty I am sure you'll do fine on your exams. You are a very intelligent young lad and I am sending you positive vibes that you'll ace every exam! We'll be here and then you can relax and blog away!
by PolarB (PM , CC ) on Wednesday May 7, 2008 @ 7:03 AM
Yes the green in my eyes sometimes start to glow, and it does get a little out of control, but I am learning to control myself. my biggest problem is I hold grudges and I never forget things.
by Ty021 (PM , CC ) on Wednesday May 7, 2008 @ 10:32 PM
Tinkerbitch, It's cool your learning to contol that green-eyed monster (I wish everyone would follow in that same direction). As far as the grudges go, just look at it this way: when your holding a grudge against someone, who is it really affecting? You or the other person? I'm sure they just keep it movin' and it doesn't really phase them one way or the other. So try not to get caught up in holding grudges, cause the only person that it's really affecting is you. Thanks for commenting!
by Ty021 (PM , CC ) on Wednesday May 7, 2008 @ 10:46 PM
I like to think that my grudges affect everyone involved. LoL. Maybe thats just my ego coming out now... I have so many issues we shouldnt get into all of them right now lol!
