Seeing rich kids on instagram enjoying life makes me want to kill myself

Get over it
That's not the "real world"

>worry free adolescence

there is no such thing

people from rich, stable families suffer all the time, just like you

happiness has a lot more to do with inherent personality, not circumstances

i feel like a sucker

going to school and working on improving myself by reading and busting my ass in the gym and trying to create a career for myself when for these people it just all seems to happen naturally and despite my efforts i'm still miles behind them working hard in hopes of ever tasting the lives they live so easily

Don't look at rich kids on Instagram.

"Thall shalt not covet"

what happens naturally?

>Thall shalt not covet
fucking christianity has got it all figured out well stopping these thoughts before they can grow by means of a phrase you're supposed to believe in blindly

i should become christian

everything life is worth living for

they have jack shit to worry about except not flunk out of high school. their parents buy them anything they need to pursue their dreams and suddenly every other rich kid is a music producer and has 5k followers on instagram and has people trying to befriend him and girls all over him and is basically living a life with everything he could want

the confidence they get from the financial security also obviously attracts people and that's the big thing.

The commandments are good not because they keep you on the path to heaven, but because they're just generally good advice

imagine the social advantage you get by driving a nice car

how am i supposed to even have a car before i'm at least 25 having finished a reputable university and having managed to find a well paying job?

meanwhile a 17 year old kid driving his father's mercedes is hot shit, and why wouldn't he. people are naturally attracted to other people who are doing effortlessly well

what is my """intelligence""" and being "well-read""" worth when standing to a guy like that I'm practically invisible to others

i guess my problem is that i just can't seem to accept that life isn't fair

>i guess my problem is that i just can't seem to accept that life isn't fair
Life is fair, you get what your parents made for you

great

one of the biggest myths among humans is the idea that happiness comes through achieving big goals. people think "I'm not happy now but once I achieve X, then I'll be happy!". however, happiness from meeting goals is fleeting. there's something psychologists call baseline happiness to which everyone returns. you can win the lottery, have a great wife, whatever, but after one year you're always only as happy as before you had that.

they key to happiness to strive towards goals. positive emotions evolved to motivate us towards goals. when you see progress towards a goal, you become happy. the key to happiness is to constantly move towards a goal. it's not about the goal itself. that's why they say, "It's about the journey, not the destination."

rich kids who have life goals handed to them on a silver platter are not experiencing an unending state of bliss by any means. the closest you'll get to an unending state of bliss is through striving towards important goals.

>how do i cope

You're seriously fucked up, but here are the two things you can do:

1) Resolve to get rich yourself so that you can have whatever they have and more, then completely dedicate yourself to the project, i.e. as 50 cent said: Get Rich or Die Trying.

2) Realize that these motherfuckers are no happier than you. About 75% of the fun of being a rich guy is looking down on poor fucks and feeling great about being better than them.

But there's a problem here for the rich guy. First, you have to be around for him to look down on. Second, you have to give a shit what he thinks. If you're around but you privately think he's an asshole and couldn't give a shit what he thinks, then you won't react properly to his wealth display. You won't feel all envious and covetous and you pay attention to him. In other words, you win. He's sitting there with all his shit trying to impress you and make you feel inferior, but you're not biting. It really takes a lot of the fun out of being rich.

You're just going to have to play into their hands and be an envious fuck, which is good because half the fun of being rich is looking down on the people who aren't. They love you for hating them because they have more than you.

you're right user

but it still gets to me when I work towards a goal and it isn't going well and then I see others achieve it effortlessly

and i end up short again and again and it starts to feel like i'm forever stuck playing catch up.

i've tried all my life to become a decently adjusted social person with a couple of good friends and a decent social life and yet here i am. Where did i go wrong

thanks user that's some real talk

Kids who do that shit are often depressed, suicidal, pop benzos like candy and feel like life in meaningless.

that still describes me except for the benzos

>magine the social advantage you get by driving a nice car

Imagine what kind of asshole gets impressed by a nice car.

>how am i supposed to even have a car before i'm at least 25 having finished a reputable university and having managed to find a well paying job?

>meanwhile a 17 year old kid driving his father's mercedes is hot shit, and why wouldn't he. people are naturally attracted to other people who are doing effortlessly well

You're not wrong. Have you had the pleasure of being around those people? I have. You're going to have to

>what is my """intelligence""" and being "well-read""" worth when standing to a guy like that I'm practically invisible to others

Well here you've actually hit a legitimate problem. What IS the value of being "well read" or "intelligent"? Not much, but not for the reason you cite. Being "well read"/intelligent doesn't translate into money in the workplace. In fact, it is more often a burden than an asset. You're better off learning things that make you money and more importantly make you able to earn money independently.

Being well read and intelligent doesn't really do that anymore. There was a time, back when the universities were for the elite and well-to-do when it did. If fitted you to associate with high society, or at least to ape the habits of the upper classes.

But the upper classes are all corrupt and degenerate now anyway, so there's no reason for anyone to study that stuff. I say this as someone who spent a great deal of time studying it. Stop wasting your time with that shit and get practical. Find a way to make a living that gives you independence.

>i guess my problem is that i just can't seem to accept that life isn't fair

Stop following cebebraties, just people you know.
You'll be much happier.

>they key to happiness to strive towards goals. positive emotions evolved to motivate us towards goals. when you see progress towards a goal, you become happy. the key to happiness is to constantly move towards a goal. it's not about the goal itself. that's why they say, "It's about the journey, not the destination."
I'm not sure "happiness" is the emotion that is elicited or to be strived for here, but this is generally right. You hear this expressed in pop wisdom sometimes as "life's a journey not a destination"

>Imagine what kind of asshole gets impressed by a nice car

most people do, it's all over popular culture. but it's not as much being impressed by a nice car as the status it gets you

hell driving anything at 17 makes you popular

it's about the journey, not the destination

just keep going

some of us have to keep going for a long time, but that doesn't really matter

Those rich kids can also find at least a million people with lives better than there's.

There's this whole ohenomenon with Facebook where people compare themselves and their lives to others.

Pro tip. They're only bragging about the best moments.. Doesn't mean the rest of their lives aren't fucking terrible.

Get off social media if you're gonna be a faggot about it. Knock that shit off. Seriously.

Pick one with 32-60 days, aim to move there. Generally relax a lot, go swimming outdoors. Take two holidays abroad per year, somewhere on a different continent. You can enjoy speedboats and other materialistic things while you're there. Retire at 60. Remember celebrities like Taylor Swift can't go to sex parties, you can.

Smart people concern themselves with ideas
Normal people concern themselves with things
Stupid people concern themselves with other people

>follow people you know just to see how much better they're doing than you
that's even worse desu

If I chose to sit around and dwell on it, then that’s all I would think about.

Always going to be people worse/better than you. Not worth thinking about. Go be happy. (I walk to the top of the hill by my house and sit on the ground and watch the birds and bunnies, look at the clouds, and if costs me nothing and makes me smile...

T. Went to a rich high school and most of my friends are rich.
I know what you mean user. All you can do is realize that not everybody is happy even if they are rich. I knew 3 kids in the grade above me that killed themselves, all were rich, one of them was the grandson of a movie producer

if they post stuff on Instagram is pretty obvs they are trying to get validated
is same shit like with Dan Bilzerian
everyone was oh look so rich, so alpha
but a group of ppl started trolling him "chicken legs"
and he was so insecure he didnt show his legs in pics any more
actually the only way to be happy in this world is to enjoy what you have small or a lot
or just be stupid . poor or rich stupid ppl enjoy life more a lot more no joke.

Just kys inmediately

so what if they're trying to get validated? everyone wants to feel appreciated

but it's not like they're posting their rolex watches, as i said, it's more about the experiences they have that I wish I could have or be a part of

Watch this sort of shit maybe it's gonna have the opposite effect

delete any and all social media. Social media is a mind prison. you are only truly free once you abandon your social media alter ego.

Fuck that, stop comparing yourself with people, you'll never be happy if you do.

Get off Instagram, basically. You can't find faker fucks if you tried.

Also, any sauce on that image fella? Phwoar.

Rich kids are piece of shits and they do not have anything to contribute in our society and just keep sucking their parent's bank account.

Well i am a neet so i think i am also one of those trash but hey atleast i enjoy my life inside my room.

the pic is from instagram man

except they're enjoying life too and they have financial security that'll last them until they die so what does it matter to them that some neet thinks they contribute nothing to society?

they'll still live a better life than most others

from an 18 yr old btw

Don't worry user. I know someone who is so rich but they are not happy even if they are "enjoying life" in ig. I know someone who spends lots of money to become more handsome and have nice skin because he wants to be validated by peers / do not forget those luxury bags. I don't think they really enjoy life even if they do in ig. Those pictures are fake. That is why i think they are shits on a golden plate.

bitch, if they're still consuming resources the rest of us are dying or will die for lack of I don't give a fuck if rich kids are actually happy or just pretending

Friendly reminder that social media is largely people pretending to be happy to get likes and attention
We've just watched a bunch of celebs kill themselves over depression. Clearly, our parents weren't fuckin around when they said 'money doesn't buy happiness' lol

rather be depressed and rich than depressed and poor

HEY ARROGANT POOR, just eat the egg with basedsauce and rice and stfu. If you do not like rich kids and you give so much damn about them then just kill them.

JUST FREAKING ENJOY YOUR LIFE AND BE SATISFIED FAGGOT.

Sweet, cheers bud. Got the username?

Except now they're just dead instead of depressed and anything
The difference is that even without money you don't suffer so badly that you've killed yourself yet

that said, not gonna disagree, money is cool

delete it

Delet insta

I got off fb and I'm much happier without it

Money. They were simply born into money. Even if you work hard to earn the money comparable to what their parents have now, you won't get to experience the careless lifestyle alotted to them at birth. If you accept that their life is not yours, and their problems are not yours, you will lose the envy and anxiety you feel when comparing your life to theirs. That is the only way to browse Instagram without envy of others' endowed riches. Faggot.

Become more successful than all of them... aren't you hungry user?

He is complaining about the very fact that rich kids already have money... even if it's their parents' money. He is jealous of their lot in life - the experiences available to select few (spring break trips to Cancun, new car for college, credit card privileges), not the money alone. Ya big dummy.
