> Rich people aren’t aware that their tales of success make people like me feel bad. It's that most people aren't very aware of their surroundings. Ultimately it's a choice whether one trains one's self to be aware or not. It has nothing to do with rich or poor. You see them, standing in the middle of the grocery aisle blocking the way, oblivious to the existence of other people - and a thousand other similar scenarios. The same goes for being emotionally aware of other people and context related to them. It sounds like the only thing your friends can do pro-actively is abandon you as a friend, stop hanging out with you, stop inviting you around. What else could they do given that you get angry and envious around them, and that's obviously not their fault. I'd suggest you have to correct that mental mistake or it's guaranteed those friendships won't last much longer. Alternatively, instead of swimming in negative emotions, learn from your friends. So many of them are becoming rich, if that's what you want then see about learning from their accomplishments. Turn your time around them into a learning experience instead of a depressive torture. Turn that negative into a productive positive. If they care about you, they'll want to see you be successful as well.
