Help?
I can’t stop thinking / for months now, about a girl my boyfriend fancied in the past, whom I met and who seems to me absolutely perfect. She is gorgeous, sweet as can be, generally adored by all who know her, and an extremely successful artist.
And I just can’t stop comparing myself with her, and I don’t think a single day goes by that I don’t think of how perfect and loved and happy she seems and how opposite I feel about myself.
The thing that I find the most difficult is that she is in the same line of art/work as me, and ridiculously successful while I struggle for recognition. And I am terribly jealous.
And now I feel bad as well, every single day that I think about this. And ashamed. But I really don’t know how to stop it.
