This post reads as if you are still making these comparisons, but now you feel that you have the upper hand. Based on the experiences you shared, it sounds like you struggled with jealousy and longed to be part of the group that excluded you. Now, you want the satisfaction of having them envy you. Perhaps you are right. Perhaps you did everything correctly and they made every possible mistake, which explains why your outcome is better than theirs. Rather than revel in your superiority, you should feel compassion for them as they deal with the setbacks from their mistakes.
