Charles is not happy about this. He feels jealous. Behind that jealousy are feelings of self-doubt, self-rejection and anger at himself for not being more productive.

He feels a failure. He was not feeling this way yesterday. His emotions are created by the fact of Andy's success, not by his own failure. No one in the company has said anything to him about not being productive. His employers are happy with him. Charles is creating his own negative emotions by comparing himself with Andy.

Charles' father was very demanding and often told him he would not make it the world and compared him to classmates had higher grades. He never compared him to classmates who were less capable. His father was very successful professionally and Charles felt that his self worth depended on his equaling his father's success professionally and economically.

He gave up his interest in the arts to prove himself as a businessman.

As a result, he is continuously comparing himself to others, seeking to establish his self worth. When he finds someone whom he evaluates as less successful, he feels very good. When he perceives someone as being more successful he is plagued by self-doubt.
