Is this bad karma?

I would like to start this one off by stating: I do not take pleasure from someone else's pain.

That being said... I'm finding myself increasingly frustrated listening to the job offers, free tickets, and general fun/job things that are happening to some people in my life.  My current state is one where I'm not even sure how I'm going to afford food for the following week let alone rent.  Hearing how someone is being handed interviews or receiving free tickets to something I would love to go to is starting to really get to me.  I know that it shouldn't, that I should be happy for the things happening to my friends I'm just finding it more and more difficult as my situation drags on.

When I hear someone complain because they spent too much money on clothes the weekend before and now they are "broke" I cringe.  No you're not "broke" you just spent a bit too much.  I on the other hand am broke and hearing about your financial "crisis" just reinforces my sorry state of affairs.

I feel awful that these thoughts and feelings pop into my head.  I know I should be happy for people, that those bad feelings will ALWAYS do more harm than good.  I just can't shake the feeling that there are people I speak to who really have no concept of how bad it is. 

One of the hardest things is listening to someone tell you how someone else is making money doing A, B or C... do you think I haven't been trying?  Not too mention that it's VERY difficult to get the motivation to pound the pavement is search of a minimum wage, part-time and temporary job when there's so much energy spent scouring the web and applying for a career position.  Another hard thing to listen to is someone who is "understanding" of the situation when they really have no idea.  I know someone who constantly and I mean constantly complains about being broke.  This is a person who has an account with a good deal of money saved.  Yes the cash has been put aside for something more important than spending on every day things but there's is no way you can fully empathize with me, you just have no concept on what my situation is.  Same person also has parents that can afford to help, even though they haven't much - they can and will do it should you need it.

So please people - while I understand that you are trying to be supportive, empathetic, understanding and also have your own great things happening... I just can't listen to them right now.  I hope you "understand".
