Self-compassion

might be the key to this. Have a look.
in the strange predicament of helping my friends and acquaintances become more successful than myself. It seems that I’m more willing to exert myself for others’ sakes than for my own, because it’s worse to let them down. I’m truly happy for them, but think the imbalance is rather unhealthy. I dread that I might become bitter over this issue in the course of time.
I shall declare myself an ‘other’ and help myself to achieve all the things I want to achieve, so that I will be able to fully enjoy both my own achievement and that of my friends.
