As people enter their 30s, many, including the author, find themselves grappling with feelings of jealousy, particularly when comparing their professional achievements to those of colleagues and friends who seem to be thriving on social media. In this age dominated by social platforms, the philosopher Genka Toru emphasizes the importance of managing these emotions and understanding the complexities of jealousy. He highlights that jealousy often arises in competitive environments, such as the workplace, where perceived disparities in success, such as a colleague's quicker promotion, can provoke feelings of inadequacy. Such emotional responses can complicate personal feelings about one's capabilities and can lead to a negative cycle of emotions that are often denied or concealed from others.

The article presents insights from Genka’s essay on 'jealousy management', where he elaborates on the need for individuals to confront and regulate their feelings of jealousy instead of suppressing or denying them. This awareness can lead to healthier social interactions and support networks, allowing individuals to appreciate others' successes without feeling diminished themselves. By fostering a more constructive approach to dealing with jealousy, individuals can not only improve their mental well-being but also create a more positive environment both online and offline. Thus, the piece argues that educating oneself about jealousy and employing what might be termed 'jealousy management' is crucial in navigating today's emotionally charged social landscape.
