My first thought on what you wrote is not so much about the other people receiving special treatment, but more about you feeling bitter because you feel like you don't receive the same treatment as some of the others. Maybe?

I can definitely understand how you feel. I have life-long friends who seem to come into everything in life so easily. Great things just fall in their laps. I feel I have to work SO hard to deal with my mental health challenges and just to get any little thing in life. It would be easy for me to become bitter. But I really do try to count my blessings and be grateful for that which I have. I work really hard to focus on the good stuff.
