Everyone seems to have better lives than me. I’m jealous. They’re lucky. They have better lives than me and I don’t understand why. They have plenty of interesting things to do and they don’t have to worry about the things that I worry about. I wish I could live their lives for once.
I’m sorry… I’m not your hero anymore.

It seems that the fact of life is that there’s always someone doing better, someone doing worse, and someone that seems to be better off than you..
We don’t really know what’s going on beyond the surface of the hundreds of people we may see just walking around on a day to day basis, and we are usually so wrapped up in our own personal lives to take a moment and try to understand what’s going on in someone’s life…
I’ve wished to be someone else many times, I’ve wanted to look stronger and all types of stuff, but that only made me feel worse as a person..
I know this isn’t easy, but you have to accept that you and you, and that there’s noone else like you, nor will there ever be, regardless of similarites in any ay, shape or form.. Also, another hard thing to do, you may consider making timy changes in your life, slowly, in whatever fashion you so choose.

The key word is seems. You can only assume that they are living better lives than you are. Perhaps it is all an act because they dont want others to know of their personal life. Now I will admit that if they arent on the site then it is probable that they are living better lives. And maybe some of us are living better than you are on this site itself but that dont mean that the situation is much better per se.
If you have an issue with interests for yourself then that is fine. That often seems to be the case of depression. Lack of interest. Lack of motivation. Lack of spirit, etc.. If you think what other people claim is interesting then you should try to experience it yourself though. Another thing about depression that I believe is that it makes one more self-centered. At least for me it did. Everything became about my own self. Such as , “Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this? How did this happen to me?” Etc. Along this, it does bring in more humility and other things of the sort.
Also, if you are jealous of others having better, that may only add to your depression. Try to love yourself. Although that isnt needed. Accept who you are and the circumstance you are in and then try to fix whatever you dont like about life. When you are happier with yourself you can probably love yourself easier then. It aint an easy process but friends can def help. And I assume many of us on the site are potentially willing to try to help ya out as well as others. We try to help each other through support and encouragment as well as guidance. We may not be so good on the guidance part admittingly 0.0 Since we be on this site and different methods can help different people in varying degrees. How we like to be talked to and so forth can also affect a way someone wants to help too so yeah.
Lastly, you dont need to be somebody else’s hero. Save yourself first if you want to be a hero. Be your own hero. Many of us people cannot be heroes for others. The idea of being super cool and strong and so forth is theatre anyways, not heroicism. You can be the inspiration for someone else for saving yourself.
P.s.: If you have regrets then try not to dwell on it. Something i was told that had saved me from much misery was “Just because you can imagine how you could have done something better in your past, doesnt necessarily mean the result is better.” Same goes with the right answer aint always the right answer.
