Lately I've been having a lot of "me too, me too" moments. I tend to think of it as jealousy, but it's not really like that, not 100% I think. It's more of an "I wish I could have that too". And it's about one thing in particular, and it's hard to talk about. There's this marketing term called "Captive audience" or "engaged audience" or something, and basically it means it's a lot easier to sell people a car if they're in the MARKET for a new car. If they're not looking, they won't notice your advertising. But if there ARE looking, they're a lot more likely to pay attention to you. I feel like that's happening in my life now, these "me too" moments that I see everywhere.
And I wonder... is it really any different than it ever was, or am I an engaged audience now and I see this everywhere? It's like I can't escape it. Real life, work life, facebook. And then I'm like, I'd be a bitch to notice this and not say anything - and it's not like I'm not happy for these people but I feel all liar-y being like GREAT! GOOD FOR YOU! When in reality I don't really care about (most) of their situations. I just care about mine.
Me too.
