Feel like a horrible person for often feeling jealous of people who seem to always have a naturally happy/optimistic outlook in life(feeling jealous that I dont meet the same standards of having a consistently, uber-pronounced optimistic attitude

By the title of this post, it will sound like I'm an entirely negative person. Im actually not. I would say that actually, away from my health anxiety and other mental health things that ive struggled with since i was a young girl, i overall try hard to have a cheerful outlook on life. But when the health anxiety and general anxiety becomes louder, I just turn into this really negative, irritable, aloof and honestly probably unfriendly person
