Jelousy
A new guy entered the scene.
I'm not going to lie. He's pretty.
But he's only got maybe half a grade to a grade on me in attractiveness.
Girls are lining up around the block to play with him/throw panties at him/etc.
On asking a friend about it, he just shrugged and said "New meat always gets attention."
I'm ok with this explanation, except...
When I was new meat in the local scene, I was met with a rather cool indifference. Even now, I'm having to seek attention in order to get it, and I'm not even having much luck with that.
He's barely been here two days and has to beat attention off with a stick.
Does that mean I'm incorrect of my assessment of him?
Or more worryingly, does that mean I'm incorrect of my assessment of myself?
To think that maybe my social value has declined so...sharply...
How can I not feel bad about that?
