I honestly think the internet has raised a lot of people's sense of who they are competitive. So you'll get some teenager in the middle of nowhere feeling crazy envious of some pop star getting attention. People can't identify their peer groups any more and this makes the sort of people who need that more hateful.

this is why many of us have a small list of people we actually call *friends*
Those who matter are there when it counts, the rest withered away long ago.
As I said, I am having great day, and can tell by peoples response not on GFY but on my family/friends facebook that when you doing good and being positive those around you can and do envy your position to the point it becaomes jealousy...
