How can you not feel ashamed about your personal life?

Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
I am Asian Indian and work with another Asian Indian. She is married and has two children. She has per say "a normal life."
I am divorced and my 16 year old daughter has been living with me for the past year.
My focus is primarily my daughter and her schooling and ACT/ SAT test preparation. I try to help her and be there for her.
I feel ashamed about my personal life and don’t talk to her much. We could be friends and would have some things to talk about like Indian movies, concerts, etc.
I feel bad because her life is more busy and fulfilling than mine. I know this from the few times that I have heard her talk about things that she does on the weekends.
I don’t mean to be rude, but I feel bad sometimes about myself and don’t talk to her.
What can I do not to feel this way?

Envy is the most stupid of vices, for there is no single advantage to be gained from it. why do you feel bad sometimes about yourself? instead of focusing on your flaws as a person you should concentrate more on things that can help you in the improvement of your well-being. Each one of us is different we have our own ups and downs but following or being upset to the success of others will never get you ahead.
Well it sounds to me that you have your priorities together taking care of your daughter. That is a good thing. You are there for her when she needs you the most. Now I am not at all saying that you should not have a personal life. It is very importnant that you take a little time out for yourself. The sooner the better. Even parents need that. Don’t do it because of your friend at work, or no one else but you. You deserve it. Have you ever thought that maybe she might be a little reluctant to talk to you because she may see that your life is actually more fulfiling than hers? That could be the case with her as well. I would try talking to her. You never know what the two of you really share unless you do. You may see her as a fulfilling person and yet all the while she could really be a little empty. I would make the effort.
