When single roommates experience different dating success levels

My roommate and I are both single and dating, but she's having much more success than I am and I'm starting to resent coming home to hear about her good dates while mine keep disappointing. We used to commiserate together and now I feel petty for not being able to just be happy for her.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Proximity to someone else's joy can illuminate the depth of one's own longing in ways that feel shameful.
