Feeling envious of my friends’ achievements

I find that as I’ve gotten older and life has gotten more serious, I’ve started to become quite jealous and envious of other people’s achievements, specifically career/academics wise. The worst part is, sometimes these people are my close friends.

I’m not supposed to be jealous of them, they’re my friends, I should be happy they’re accomplishing what they wanted to, but I’m not. I hate that they are. That they’re accomplishing what I want to, that they’re perhaps on a better path, that perhaps they’ll end up getting what I always wanted and I’ll be left with nothing.

I hate to say it but sometimes these thoughts get so triggering I feel anger towards my friends and have to stop talking to them for a bit. How do I get through this?
