"Take up the spirit of confessional literature and try to unburden yourself of something you're not proud."

See July 29th.

Also, how hard I find it to be happy for other people, rather than jealous.  

Although maybe, I think, a lot of people find this hard.  Or (fairly certainly) there are very few people who can be anything more than officially happy for those whose joy either conflicts with their own needs (e.g. when competing at work) or reminds them of their lack of successes - e.g. the other person just got great grades, a great partner, a new house.  Those things that spotlight all the places where we are unhappy or maybe just a little insecure.

When those things happy, though, do most people feel ambivalent - the joy for the other person AND their own sadness/jealousy?  I often just feel the latter or, at least, that's what I care more about.

(Sorry.)
