Esspecially when it comes to being unreasonably attached to some (fear of losing) as well as constant comparisons (personal circumstances/achievments). I think i have developed an unhealthy coping mechanism by ever so slowly distancing myself from them as to ease the psychological blow that it would of had on me if i were to of ghosted them instantaneously. I feel like this is not a good stratergy in the long term as i want to simply stop being jealous/envious of people i am close with. Not solving this would pretty much condemn me to a life of eternal misery as i wont be able to get close and personal with someone without feeling like absolute shit.
