I have always thought that I was envious in nature, I envy a lot of people because of what they can easilty acquire but I never actually envied the things they got. I'm the most non-materialistic person I know and I really feel little or no pleasure at all when I get a new phone or new clothes, most of the times I just open the christmas gifts without feeling any emotion on what's inside.

I'm 22 years old and I have been working since I was 12 (yes, I am from a country in development) and I feel happy working and getting the things with my own effort. Recently I discovered that maybe it isn't envy what I felt on others when they their parents bought them new cars or stuff in general. I just don't like poeple who don't do anything in life and some of my friends don't study nor work and they have far more than I will get working in some time. I believe that the fact that they can get whatever they want without work is what makes me sick.

I know it has nothing to do with the item they get in concrete because I come to think of a friend who works a lot and has a middle-low class family just like I do. I came to think that if his familly suddenly won the lottery and gift him a car, I would be very very happy about that, so it's the fact that people that does nothing can get what they want with no effort at all that annoyis me.

I feel terrbile with this, I shouldn't care about what others can get, I know that if I would have grown in a similiar situation, I would have accepted the same they have so I don't know how to get over this feeling. Does anyone have any suggestions that may help me?

You are feeling injustice because rich people get rich things without any effort
You worked hard for where you are and the idea that people get things better than what you have without working as hard as you hurts you

This is normal

There was this one guy. Named Carl or something
He wrote a whole book about that feeling

OP here

But I don't feel the need of getting things the easy way, I can imagine my family suddenly becoming rich and giving me whatever I wish and I seriously can't think of anything new on my life because I really don't want anything new, I seriously feel I have everything I need.

I don't like unproductive people, just like some people can't stand gays, liberalists, etc. I can't stand passive people, even if they are not rich but I am ok with that because we all need to hate some group, don't we? What I hate the most are people who don't do anything and get whatever they want, I feel as if their families were indirectly educating others into believing it's ok to do nothing.

Again that's normal.
You want everyone to suffer like you did

If you worked hard you should get something
If you didn't, you shouldn't get anything

This Carl guy said something about that
You may like what he said

Op again.

I have a very marked line between productivity and work, according to me, you could work the whole day under terrible conditions to produce something, if on the other hand you are smart enough to find an easy way to produce more doing less and you get rich, it's perfect to me. I don't envy Pewdiepie eventhough I don't find him talented, I just think he found an easy way to get poplar and rich with few effort and I admire that.

I respect rich people that worked somehow to get where they are, even if they didn't work much, just like Zuckerberg did with Facebook, he's a millionare and just had to write some code, I respect these people because they prove productivty (even information is productive) will always be better than working a lot.

I don't wan't anyone to suffer. I just want them to earn the stuff they have and that not necessarily mean making lots of effort. It's their passiveness what grinds my gears.

I'm going to be blunt because apparently you aren't picking this shit up

Read Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto"

It talks about exactly what you're feeling

I'll see what can I get from that, thanks.

I believe it was spelled Karl.

OP, how much do you like the color red?

Actually I think "joke" was spelled "zhouk"

Capitalism is fine, I just think there are some poeple who don't get it and the people enforcing lazyness are part of those who don't get it in my opinion.

Carl had a silver spoon in his mouth though.
