You know it's all a matter of perspective really. Personally coming from a similar background i've felt the same way at times. If you are coming from a mindset of lack then that's all you're going to notice and all you'll see is everything that you don't have and how everyone that has more than you. Seeing people people that you think don't have to struggle for anything and watching them take their life for granted can be terribly frustrating and depressing. As others have said though, you really don't know what is going on behind the scenes of the people that you envy. All you see is a very controlled facade that they put on in public. There are many struggles in life but there are also many things to be grateful for and you can be grateful for what you have without thinking about how life could be worse. even if it "could be worse" your feeling are still valid, just don't let yourself get to in your head though. can you find any good from your situation?, have you built any positve characteristics from a life of adversity?. I find when dealing with any struggle in life be it big or small, all you need is to look at things from a different angle(much easier said than done) but once you change your mindset in how you will deal with life then maybe things don't seem as bad.
