Hugs to you, Aimless Soul. I do not think anyone is better than anyone else, just because they have a more positive outlook or more energy or more motivation. What you are dealing with sounds A LOT like depression. It messes with one's thoughts. It's a distortion and untrue. Depression lies. Are you in therapy? There's also many books on depression out there. Or perhaps try looking at this:
