Advice Corner | I’m Jealous

Loading player...
I don’t know how to deal with my best friend. I’ve been having a really
hard time lately with my family, friends, health and my job - just seems
like everything is falling down around me. I love my best friend but
when things are hard for me she is constantly showing off to me how
much money she makes and tells me all the time “how she’s rolling in
it” and I’m happy for her I just don’t know why she repeatedly has to
tell me. Then she also broke up with her bf and every day she is telling
me about all these guys that worship her and are asking her out - which again I’m like that’s great and good for her but after a while I
start to feel like a real loser - I don’t go out much at all - have
absolutely no male prospects and have been leading quite a reclusive
life lately which she is aware of - but every single day without my
asking she tells me of some guy that likes her.
I don’t know what to do, I can’t tell her to stop telling me stuff because
she’s my friend but at the same time I feel as though she is rubbing it
in and it’s making me feel like a loser it’s basically all we talk about
anymore. I don’t know what to do to not feel as bad and enjoy hearing
about it, I don’t want to be a jealous friend.

GROW Model | Attitude vs. Behaviour Change: When Attitude Fuels Behaviour

When attitudes shift, behaviour follows naturally—like water flowing downhill. For example, someone who genuinely values health won’t just diet for a week; their lifestyle transforms. Attitude is the root, behaviour the fruit. Today we look at how transformed thinking leads to sustainable behavioural change.
