I'm not sure I have any good advice for you, but I'd at least like to say that I can relate. I think we all have to deal with feelings of jealousy or inadequacy from time to time. I would imagine it tends to be worse among people in the tech world since the industry is so competitive and the bar is so high. I think there's also somewhat of a culture in tech of treating "smart" people like they're somehow innately different than "non-smart" people or that it's hard for a "non-smart" person to become a "smart" person. You could also substitute the word "smart" for "successful" in the previous sentence. Some people might disagree with this assessment, but I'm fairly confident that it's a wide-spread phenomenon. I think a culture like that would tend to exaggerate feelings of jealousy and such. If one person is made to feel like they can't possibly achieve the same things as another, or if they suspect they're being denied opportunities on account of another person's opinion of them, that would breed resentment and jealousy. I'm not sure if that dynamic is at play in your life, but it's worth stating all the same. Anyhow, I wish you luck in dealing with those feelings. I know how crippling they can be.
