How do I deal with jealousy Veeky Forums?

I know a guy who is literally a fucking pleb but he is now working as a screenwriter / writer on a bunch of popular shows and short films. He was educated at a top fee-paying school, his parents own at least one apartment in a high-end area of the city, he attended a top college, he worked in banking for a year or so after graduating then switched over into screenwriting etc.

What books will help me not feel resentful about this?

For context, I was raised by a single mom, attended a shit-tier school in a shit-tier town, attended a mediocre college, and now work as an office cuck while trying to write and publish something worthwhile.

The reason I know this guy is because he is dating a girl I fell for in an intense way. She showed interest in me a little but I assume she realized I was second-best compared to him.

Marcus Aurelius - Meditations
Erich Fromm - The Art Of Loving
Ligotti - Conspiracy Against The Human Race

OP here. I've literally read all of those.

Whatever you do don't turn to politics in hope for change. It's never going to come.

t. made that mistake

What do you mean? What did you do?

I'm a Nazi sympathizer btw

>get cucked by Chad in every way
>b-but he's a pleb

Bony to Brawny

Get big and cuck him

Mein Kampf

Trying to alleviate your pain by imagining some big revolution that will fix your problems or even trying to work towards one is not going to achieve anything and you're going to feel even more miserable.

You need to find yourself a muse and pull yourself up by your breeches.

"Notes from Underground", Fëdor Dostoevskij

C'mon OP, your worthwhile story is written right there, it's your own life. You'll get mad pussy with a semi-biographical novel talking about your own shortcomings in a contemporary romantism theme.

Then your jealously might turn into vengeful anger as you try to smear it in everyone's faces that you were never a spoiled brat. Then you'll realize the decent money and praise you're receiving is all useless and that you were always meant to be a depressed, lesser person than the more privileged ones. And that's when you should read Meditations again.

>recommending the ramblings of a spoiled rich kid to someone who's actually suffering

every time

Genealogy of morals, stop being a ressentiment

>stop being a ressentiment

Is this the peak of Veeky Forums's Nietzsche interpretation?

He can read fucking Charles Dickens or Bukowski if he wants to, but the point of his suffering is precisely the jealousy of spoiled rich kids. He's going to remain resentful no matter how much he dwells on works that deal with this, because the only thing that he is able to actually change here is himself.

>the point of his suffering is precisely the jealousy of spoiled rich kids

Exactly. Reading Marcus Aurelius isn't going to help him because that nigga never was in this position in the first place.

I think it's the most valuable part for the average person (nobody here isn't average)

You deal with it by striving to be better and show up the people you're jealous of.

BUT HOW THE F**K DO I DO THAT NIGGA? I'M SLAVING AWAY IN AN OFFICE JOB THAT AT LEAST ALLOWS THE APPEARANCE OF BEING CIVILIZED AND """SUCCESSFUL"""" while he sits in some studio somewhere joshing with his private school buddies before going home to bone his (READ: *****************MY*************) GIRL. WHAT THE HECK?!?! I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT RESIGNING AND LIVING WITH MY MOMMY WHILE WRITING A NOVEL THAT'LL MAKE A NAME FOR MYSELF, BUT CHANCES ARE I'LL JUST END UP F*****G KILLING MYSELF IN THE ATTIC WHEN I GO ONLINE AND SEE SOME INSTAGRAM POST OF HIS WHERE HE'S ON THE RED CARPET WITH THE WOMAN OF MY DREAMS, THE LITERAL EMBODIMENT OF ALL MY AESTHETIC IDEALS. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. *UNSHEATHES KATANA* GIVE ME ANSWERS NOW! *ADOPTS A THREATENING STANCE* FUCKING HELP ME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>I'm suffering because I don't get what I want!

Day of the nuke when

?
No, but it is an important point which is presented in it..?

Man you are cucked by your very own world view. I'd suggest suicide

PLEASE, PLEASE explain what you meant by this. Sincerely I would appreciate it.

Rich kids on this board can't fathom the thought that there might be people with problems that can't be solved by wishful thinking.

>80. How comes it that a cripple does not offend us, but that a fool does? Because a cripple recognises that we walk straight, whereas a fool declares that it is we who are silly; if it were not so, we should feel pity and not anger.
>Epictetus asks still more strongly: “Why are we not angry if we are told that we have a headache, and why are we angry if we are told that we reason badly, or choose wrongly”? The reason is that we are quite certain that we have not a headache, or are not lame, but we are not so sure that we make a true choice. So, having assurance only because we see with our whole sight, it puts us into suspense and surprise when another with his whole sight sees the opposite, and still more so when a thousand others deride our choice. For we must prefer our own lights to those of so many others, and that is bold and difficult. There is never this contradiction in the feelings towards a cripple.

so what bothers you isn't some external injustice by society or the girl. it is the fear that they might be right and if you build enough self-worth, this fear should go away.

But what if I really, really like this girl?

Post a pic

get over it .
your fate is your choice.
leave them to there's.

then read weininger to get rid of idealization. this is a precondition to not get rejected by girls anyway.

>Reading some jew's misogynistic ramblings is a precondition for not getting rejected by girls

What did he mean by this?

Well how about you recommend some poor mediocre writers that have first world problems in spite of their actual problems so that OP can get along with his own?

If he gets successful he'll dump her for someone younger than him, if he doesn't get successful she'll cheat on him. Just keep that in mind and start dating in exactly your own league (i.e. find an unattractive girl with no skills who lives with her mother) unless you want to improve your league by improving yourself

I understand you OP, I'm poor as hell and in a 3rd world tier country and If you ACTUALLY can write get a part time job and do it you fucking faggot. Why is that so hard to acknowledge? You either live for it or for your pathetic slave existence, chose one

>3rd world country
