Having my goals?

Question

I have a problem.. the thing is, I kinda hate it when people have the same goals / interests as me.

Yeah I know its dumb & I try not to let stupid stuff like that bother me. I realize that I'm not special or different from anyone else.. but something inside always gets angry / jealous. One time I had a friend that said she wanted to do the same furture career as me..I got so angry that I randomly stopped talking to her & treated her as though she was my enemy... the worst part is, I still don't regret till this day.

Have any ideas of how I can put all this stupidity behind me?

Answer 1

Well when people have the same goals or interests as them you usually can become really good friends! Say a person likes horseback riding just like you. You don't want to shout at them, "Oh my god, how dare you like that just like me!!" cause that would be mean and it would seem pretty weird...

Everyone is special and different in their own little way for the record... hehe...

If your still fighting with your friend, apologize and tell her how you get angry/jealous.

Try not to get mad at someone when they have the same interests as you. Instead, say stuff like, "Really? Me too" and "Really? What do you like most about it?" or "That's strange, me too!" Try to smile and laugh. You may just turn out really good friends! =D

Hope I helped! xD

It's like they're copying off of me or something, you know?
