    If you were to look within yourself, is bitterness a problem for you? Do you find yourself given to unreasonable levels of envy, jealousy or masqueraded pettiness? Do you have ways of overcoming these feelings? In short: do you find that you have vinegar coursing through your veins?
     
    Bitterness is not a problem for me, it's just who I am. Just because other people don't like my outlook on life doesn't mean I have to have a problem with it. It's just another way people like to label and dismiss me, and if they're going to do that I think I have every right to be as bitter as they think I am towards them. Perhaps they should look at their own behaviour before they start casting judgment on mine.

    I can't say I really feel envy or jealousy towards others all that much though, and whether I'm petty or not depends on your point of view, and the circumstances. People have a way of negatively labelling things they disagree with or don't understand. As far as I'm concerned, their the ones with the problem.
     
    Yes.
    No.
    Absolutely.

    I'm in a near constant state of being envious of those who are wealthy and privileged and as a general rule feel pretty annoyed at how they use their resources and think I would do significantly better things in that position. No efficient coping mechanisms discovered as of yet.
     
    Yeah, I've been quite bitter lately. I get jealous at people that are able to go on trips,get a Switch, and watch a movie in theaters two or more times while I still can't afford new jeans and boots yet. I get envy when it comes to creativity folks seems to get their stuff validated way easier than me. I get petty when there are people that are more sociable and able to radiate warmth to everyone around them while my passiveness aggressiveness gets out of control and people back away from me.

    As far as coping mechanism goes, finding a solution to your bitterness is a step towards the right direction I think.
     
    2. feeling or showing anger, hurt, or resentment because of bad experiences or a sense of unjust treatment.

    I'm as bitter as sugarless tea, which isn't too bad. I used to be as bitter as sugarless coffee.

    Well, occasionally I see someone who has everything I want - attitude, looks, mouth, lifestyle, social circle, voice, duds, and it makes me seethe. But in a relatively pathetic fizzle-out-and-forget way, because I'm practically still a child and I soon have something new to seethe about. It's not malicious envy, though. I wouldn't push them in a vat of strychnine or anything. I'd just try and focus on what I've got going for me. Like how flat the side of my right hand is.

    The injustices, though? They bug me. A lot, but not a lot, a lot. In fact, I'm one happy bunny all round. A chronically angry happy bunny, but whatever.
     
    there are people i Could have held a grudge against over things that happened a while ago but i tend to be a forgiving person. i never fully let go all the way though.

    in short i have extremely diluted vinegar in my veins
     
    I am bittersweet chocolate. I do feel envy/jealousy often but in the end those that I can't do anything about it I just let go and those that I can I try to improve on (not that it worked yet but).

    I can be pretty absolutely petty though.
