I'm not usually one to criticize someone with mental illness. I mean, it's an illness. You can't help that you have it. You can help how you deal with it, though. I hope you have one heck of a therapist, or you are going to have a very lonely life. People will not put up with your self-centeredness for long.
The thing is I have friends I've had for years. I'm not mentally ill so...
Ya, "friends" you'll start avoiding if they get pregnant before you. How long do you think they'll put up with that?
I think most people reading this would disagree with you on that one.
Ok well whatever. My best friend had a baby and we are still friends but life happens she has a baby and can't do a lot I live 45 mins away so it was bound to happen when you're not around each other
That's true I guess you never know but she doesn't seem unhappy, her outward appearance doesn't seem like she's struggling with anything other than maybe keeping up with school while being pregnant which is her own fault
Well I am glad you can at least see that. Rather than just being jealous of her.
Not everyone walks around telling the world their tales of woe. I have a friend who was dealing with his mother in the final stages of Alzheimers and and the same time his 45 year old BIL dying of cancer. If you met him you would have thought he didn't have a care in the world.
He amazed me and I asked "how can you be so upbeat", he said "what good does it do going around telling everyone, they can't change it, and what's the point in telling everyone all your troubles".
So this classmate you're so jealous of could have family issues you wouldn't want.

Very true, the example I gave earlier of the woman twice the age of the OP is like that. She doesn't have one female friend, lived mostly in the same area her whole life and no close friends. She drives people away being jealous and very self centered. If the OP doesn't change her ways that is how she will end up.
She probably said that but did she actually feel that

You're supposed to be in school to become a therapist, how do you not understand the basic fact that you can't judge a book by its cover.
You must be a joy to work with.

How the heck are you getting Masters in Social Work, with the goal of being a therapist? Have you done any internships with clients or anything?
I just can't believe this is all real. It's too ridiculous.

I have clients now at my internship and I new development that I'm not sure how I feel about, I got offered a job out of statethat will also be working with clients
It's easier to work with clients than to deal with my stuff honestly

I guess for me I genuinely feel for my clients and I really see their struggle and want to see them do better. Not that I don't want that for myself but idk I just love my clients
