Why is it that whenever something major and good happens to my friends (they get a boyfriend, they get a job, they get a house), instead of being happy for them, I start feeling so anxious that I want to cry? It makes me feel like they're so far ahead in life compared to me and like I'm a complete failure. And I hate how my first thought, when they tell me such news, is to make it about me. Towards them I of course act really nice and I congratulate them, tell them I am happy... But I'm really not. I mean, I really want to be, and my mind is aware and tells me: 'this is a really good thing for them!' but I cannot féél that happy thought, all I feel is sadness. It makes me feel like such a fake friend.
Is this even normal?
I don't think I'm jealous, I'm really just scared.

we talk a lot about how current kids, teenagers, and parents never learned internet safety in this age of social media, but i think we also gotta be honest with ourselves that most of us, adults on the internet who participate in fandom, never really learned how to engage with young people without setting them up for disaster.
might be weird to say it like this, but it's important to leave people how you met them or better. like hiking or going to a nature reserve. if you are regularly talking to people on the internet, especially teenagers, you need to consider whether your behavior with them is how another, shittier person would take advantage of them, because you have no real way of protecting them if that happens. like if you're going into discords and saying 'hey i'm mom! let me help you with your homework and irl issues. also please feel free to vent to me if you have any mental health issues or problems at home" you have to understand that the next person who says that to them may be leaving out the end of their plan; "that would make you easier to abuse."
sometimes you have to say "you seem fun and have a lot of great ideas but you are also 15, so if you wanna talk fandom, here are the boundaries we're going to follow, because these are the boundaries other adults should be following with you." or just refuse to talk to kids.
you decide what your responsibility, is but what you can't do is build an illegal fire pit on the hiking trail, if you catch my drift.
