I've Got It
So, my 2 good friends (one of whom has only been making youtube videos for 2 months) recently got asked to feature on a television show to talk about youth and youtube.. YUP,don't get me wrong i'm insanely happy for them and as badly as I don't want to be jealous I am and I literally feel like crap about it. like my confidence level just crashed so hard.

I did get an email from the show to be part of a google hangout chat with that will be available for online viewing which is great! But we all know it's not the same..

As hard as I tried not to let it bother me but it totally killed me, it's easier said than done.
sorry for venting..

Thanks <3

It's totally cool to vent, man, and it's also totally normal to feel jealous and let things eat you up like that. Honestly, yeah just vent, let your feelings out, and let yourself sit with your feelings without feeling guilt over them. But yeah once you given it a little bit of time, use that jealous feeling to help you grind even harder. Also, I'd totally take that google hangout chat opportunity. Yeah, it's not as great as the TV deal but exposure is exposure but you don't metaphorically refuse a $100,000 salary just because you almost got a million dollar salary (or if you do, you'll just be miserable AND broke).

Yeah I think I will do it, you make a good point! <3 thank you
 
I also noticed you seem to be a gaming/vlogging channel so maybe (after you've had a bit of time to compose yourself somewhat), I might even vlog about it and how you feel and how you've managed to (hopefully) spin this negative thing into a positive driving force. It might be a cathartic experience for you as well as entertaining for your viewers because we can all relate to feeling unappreciated and/or dealing with disappointment.
 
It's completely fine to feel annoyed. Youtube is a game of luck. You only get places by luck and A LOT of hard work.
 
Ask them to slip your Youtube name in there somewhere :D
But hey, best not to be envious and just be happy for them. Maybe you can somehow get in on the fame lol.

I`m pretty sure their two Channels did probably fit better to their target audience then your own Channel. That`s nothing to be jealous or ashamed of. A couple of my best friends are working for the biggest local TV Networks and one of them is moderating her own Fashion Show where she is talking together with some Fashion Blogger/YouTuber once a Week about what`s In & Out.

She usually does only invite Fashion Blogger & YouTuber that have been around for at least two Years and/or have created their own style. While the Network Owner told her that she has to make sure that that she does only invite those that are already famous she still get`s her "I want to invite at least one rather Unknown One" Rule through after her third year so in the end she most of the time decides who is on the Show and who isn`t.

Long Store short: I guess there were looking probably for some special kind of YouTuber that did fit into their profile for that YouTube Part of their Show and you, at least for the current Show, didn`t fit into that proful. You can`t really do anything about that since that`s how life is.
 
I see people around me doing awesome stuff all the time. It used to get me down. Then I decided to just be happy for them. If they can, that mean you can :)

All those bad feelings just chip away and take energy away from doing your thing. Even when there are times I'm doing really awesome projects, I realize that right now things are awesome, and may follow with a period of seemingly nothing. It's ok to feel down, jealous, etc. Putting that out there, well it makes you seem like someone people don't want to work with.
