Question |
Hello Dr.Mehta,
This is the first time ever I am writing to any blogs
My problem is with jealousness, I am extremely jealous of my cousins, I guess as kids we were all compared a lot and even today the relatives compare our families with that of cousins, It could be the salary, the house we buy, the country we visit, the gold we wear at weddings, so on and so forth, this is the cause of problem. It could even be the parents of cousins who would boast their kids in some social gathering, or would visit our house and talk for hours about their kids, In a way it has helped as It would motivate me to do more and push myself hard to achieve my goals in the beginning.
But now the same thing has become a burden to me. My mood goes off for days if I hear any progress about my cousins, the thoughts about what they would do in future will be the first thing that comes to mind in morning than of my life, and my mind would constantly revolve around them all time though we stay miles apart.
As a solution to this I tend to go away from the source of news, I dun want to visit my home county, I dun call my parents often (which makes me really really guilty), I do not call all those relatives who will give me the news of the cousins, these solutions have only kept me away from the things temporarily. I would eventually be sad or depressed once I hear about them. So my cousins life(which is beyond my control) or people who speak about them are literally controlling my life and emotions, to the worsen that my mind even think 10 years ahead what they might do.. lol
How do I get rid of this. How can I still be happy talk and laugh with all my cousins and not be effected by their progress and life. I want a way to be more happy with my life and be lively with my parents and my close family? I am too eager about your reply.
Thanks
Tweety!!
