I like to live by the mantra “mudita” - taking pleasure in my friends successes even when things aren’t going well for me. It’s much more uplifting to feel positive emotions for my friends, I feel good and genuine happiness for them now instead of any feelings that are just going to bring me down. Revisiting shine theory by Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow may help some here, when my friends shine, I shine ☺️ ✨ also I think the truest friends aren’t those that are there when you’re struggling but are those cheering you on when you’re winning at life! I wasn’t always this way as I instinctually felt some jealousy when things weren’t going well for me a few years ago, and I worked hard on this and now my automatic response is one of joy
