I love the thought of people thinking of me obsessively and wanting to be just like me.

No, to be honest I’d prefer not being perceived at all
Not at all
No.
No one should want to be me.
If someone wanted to be me I’d feel nothing but pity and shame.
No, I don’t want to attract thieves and weird fans.
Here’s the thing tho. Nobody thinks about you even 1% of what you think they do. It seems like youre saying, “I need validation and want to be a part of the bigger world outside my own” which is totally fair. It’s even healthy, especially when compared to escapism and isolation. If your actions and behavior cause people to have a negative reaction, i.e. jealousy, obsessions, I encourage you to reevaluate what’s within yourself that desires that negative attention. People will think of you far far more if your behavior and actions gives those around you positive reactions. Trade the desire to make them jealous for inspiring them by being a healthy, upstanding rolemodel. Trade “I” statements for “you” questions. People crave and are drawn to those who show an interest in them, just as you admit to in this post. Make the world a better place, not a more anxious place and you’ll find all that attention you desire becomes a far more reasonably attainable goal.
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.

Emphatically no. I cut people concerned with jealousy out of my life. That shit’s toxic.
You’re thinking of envy, not jealousy so much: Envy is when you want something someone else has, jealousy is when you don’t want others to have what you have.
I wouldn’t want people to be jealous of me, people act very poorly when they are jealous.
… do people actually do that? As in, is strong jealousy really a thing?
I’d like to believe that each of us builds their life into the exact thing they need, so swapping places with anyone else would be terribly uncomfortable. So I can’t relate as to why anyone would ever be jealous i guess haha
Pardon me, but you sound very privileged here, in the spiritual sense of “stop being poor” or “just don’t be depressed” etc.
If that was your intention, you’ve succeeded admirably.
Tag was accurate
I also don’t get your other replier. I too like the life I’m building but I would appreciate swapping with not having to worry about money haha
The older you get, the less you care.
After 30, it is very hard to give a fuck about anything beyond having a fat bank account to care of your dependants.
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.
Hell no. The green monster can friggin kill you
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.
nope nope nope. I want to be incredibly anonymous.
