Are you jealous of your friend?

I'm in the same position as you, but I realized the more you strive to be your friend, the less you become yourself. My advice is to be proud of who you are, and eventually people will begin to talk to you and start to like you. I've tried to be the person always starting the conversations, but it sometimes just doesn't hit the spot and ends up just annoying the person. What you have to do is just start talking about whatever you enjoy talking about, and eventually when they start adding into the conversation, you slowly realize what subjects they like and what makes them mad.

I could never be jealous of my best friend. We have lots in common and started a company together and we both seem to know what the othe is thinking while we are on the job. My wife and him get along very good and that is great.

Well jealousy is natural thing I guess. I myself feel it too. I feel that whenever my friends are better in the stuffs that I want myself to be better at I feel jealous, but then though things are like that I'm still happy that they're good at it and then I will try to do good at those stuffs next time. Jealousy for me is not a bad thing you just have to use it in a nice way.

i guess it's normal to be a little jelous of something when it comes to comparing yourself with friends, but what makes it wrong is when you start hating them for it, for something that they didn't really intend to do to cause hurt to you. I think instead of feeling envious, use this as an inspiration to change. Change your ways and change yourself for the better. You're gonna have to exert a lot of effort if you really want to overcome something and change it for the better. Don't expect it'll happen in a day. It'll take time. Always be positive in thinking and in attitude. It'll do you good. Good luck ! =D

Yeah I have met this kind of situation before and I know it's not good.And it proves that we still have something to improve.So I think we're lucky to meet those friends who are sociable and excellent.Hope you and I can make progress by the inspiration

i get jealous sometimes specially of the things that i dont have,but after that,my jealousy is gone..

Everyone at some point in their lives envy a friend or a sibling. So don't feel bad about it as long as it is not an all consuming emotion. We could be envious of a friend for two reasons - one you want to do something which your friend does with ease. Your friend finds it easy but you struggle to get your head around it. Well this can be easily turned around. All you have to do is ask your friend to give you tips or help you through it step by step. The second reason is because you know who you are as a person and you are aware of your capabilities. There are certain things you know you will not do or will not be able to do. However you friend does it. Believe me there is no reason to get upset about that. If you talk to your friend you will find that she too would be envious about certain things that you can do but she cannot. This is what defines both of you as separate individuals. So just decide which of the above applies to your envy and make the change or just accept it. Chin up!
