Beware of that friend that keeps giving you updates on how prosperous, fortunate and happy your contemporaries are; like the cars they drive, the houses they own, the positions they hold, the trips they are having, etc. especially in relation to your slower but sure scale of progress.
Mostly, the aim is to make you feel somewhat resentful for those people's perceived advantage. But ask yourself, what good is happening in that person's own life? I bet he doesn't even own a bicycle; probably as broke and useless as a broken toy. Sometimes you wonder why they tend to set their own priorities too low.
I think there's a part of such people that maliciously enjoys arousing unneeded despair in others, and I am sure you're not gonna allow them do that to you, are you? But even if you think you have wasted a lot of your time losing, remember this: “To create more positive results in your life, replace ‘if only’ with ‘next time’.”
