I love the thought of people thinking of me obsessively and wanting to be just like me.
I remember your handle - IIRC you posted before about having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Wanting people to be jealous of you seems apropos.
I dont know you, but this sounds like narcissistic personality disorder.
It’s a common symptom of it.
Look through their post history lol
No.
No one should want to be me.
If someone wanted to be me I’d feel nothing but pity and shame.
nope nope nope. I want to be incredibly anonymous.
No; jealousy paints a target on your back. I’d rather people wish well for me and feel that my victories are at least indirectly theirs.
Failing that, I’d want others to be unaware of my existence.
Not really. I find when people are jealous they either try to cut you down in subtle ways, or they self deprecate and guilt trip just because you happen to have something going right for you.
I’d like to be admirable, I think. I’d prefer to rub off on people in a positive way than a negative one.

No, quite honestly I do want to live an enviable life AND would be so happy if everyone else did too. I do not want other people to literally want my life, no. I want them to be too happy with their own lives to care about mine.
No, I don’t want to attract thieves and weird fans.
Hell no. The green monster can friggin kill you
I’ve had people jealous of me. People who tried to steal my spouse or thought they would be so happy living my life.
It didn’t make me one bit happier. Sometimes it made me suffer, that they didn’t see that things were really difficult for me in ways that were invisible.
That feeling that I thought was wanting a perfect life was really needing anxiety meds I am way happier with well-adjusted meds.
Never thought about it… I’d say no. But I’d like my friends and family to be proud of me (as well as myself)
No. It makes relations with them difficult.
Not really, but I don’t mind pissing off people I don’t like and I’m not going to protest if it’s caused by jealousy
Jealous/envious of me? No.
Impressed by me? Yes.
Inspired by me? Double Yes.
Learn a cautionary tale from me? No.
Edit: proofreading better…
frpm me?
Too late, cautionary tale learned. Jk.
My phone keyboard is bad. Fantastically bad. I suck at proofreading, but shit is it bad.
Anyway, cleaning up my terrible editing. Thanks for highlighting it. 😀
Any time! I make typos constantly, so feel free to point mine out in turn.
I second this
