    The entire post is them comparing themselves to this couple, there is no feeling two things at once going on here.

      Because it’s a vent post - of course they’re focusing on that internal feeling of sadness, that’s the point.

      If you actually read the post, Anon does state that they’re happy for the couple multiple times, but they don’t focus on that because not only would it not be funny, it’d also miss the entire point of the vent post.

      As I said before, it’s not healthy to live life by comparison, but it is perfectly valid to feel happy for someone else’s progress while feeling a bit sad on your own introspection.
