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

Learn a cautionary tale from me? No.

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.
I remember your handle - IIRC you posted before about having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Wanting people to be jealous of you seems apropos.
I dont know you, but this sounds like narcissistic personality disorder.
It’s a common symptom of it.
Look through their post history lol
nope nope nope. I want to be incredibly anonymous.
No.
No one should want to be me.
If someone wanted to be me I’d feel nothing but pity and shame.
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, I don’t want to attract thieves and weird fans.
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.
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.
An excellent contrapoints video explores this topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPhrTOg1RUk
Hell no. The green monster can friggin kill you
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.
Not really. I find when people are jealous they either try to cut you down in subtle ways, or they self deprecate and guilt trip just because you happen to have something going right for you.
I’d like to be admirable, I think. I’d prefer to rub off on people in a positive way than a negative one.
No, that would make me a narcessist
