Lisa has a hard time explaining her job. To be fair, she might have a harder time believing it herself.
“People hire me to be jealous of them. Sometimes I write a bunch of comments on their socials saying how I wish I could be more like them. Or I might burst in on a client while he’s on a date begging for him to take me back because he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. It’s a great boost to their self-esteem.”
“And they pay you for this?”
“I’m really good at wishing I were someone else.”
