Hey @uncaged
Because I also agree with everyone's opinion within this thread, I just wanna chime in to say that it's alright to get jealous sometimes, especially these days. I get your feeling. I understand the feeling of "being inferior" to some of your peers (even though no human being is better than another in my opinion). I've tried many things, including trying to change my mindset and convince myself with the logic that I'm no better or less than anyone else, but the feeling is still there sometimes and I tend to beat myself up in most cases.
But slowly when I started to concentrate on myself more, the frecency and intensity of the envies appeared gradually less every time. Now, even at the age of adolescence, although I still compare myself to others unconsciously, I've been learning to control my thoughts afterward and to forgive myself for being jealous of people my age.
So my point is, like everyone has been saying, race your own race at your own pace, and I may suggest: take a deep breath everytime the jealousy comes up, validate your feelings, and tell yourself that you're good enough and that you are going your own path.
