so whenever your friends succeed in something meaningful, you always feel miserable? You never ever feel good for them? (don't be afraid to say yes, because I'm like that.. wondering if I'm alone..)


No, far from always, and not miserable exactly. By "miserable", I mean that I ask myself, "Bob drove to Yosemite National Park and hiked Half Dome this weekend, while I hung around my apartment and surfed the net and watched TV. Why didn't I do something like Bob?"


Because you are content in your surroundings and more energy efficient.
