 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Dear Carolyn: Several times in the past few years, leadership roles and spots in selective groups that I really wanted have gone to other people. For the most part, I am at peace with this; I had my grieving period, and I try my hardest not to let it affect my day-to-day life. However, it is very difficult to watch the people who were chosen for these positions not doing a better job than I know I could do, and not appreciating what they have been given as much as I would, when I know I was just as qualified, if not more; worked just as hard, if not more; and wanted the positions just as much, if not more. I feel guilty that I am having these snide thoughts — these people are perfectly nice and have done nothing wrong to me personally. I don't want to be the kind of person who harbors grudges and stays bitter over these things. How do I move on, so I can stop feeling so miserable? — Feeling Overlooked |
