my hubby get me a nice sexy shoes for my birthday... i wore it on my friends party... one of my friend told me to take it off coz she wants to try it... and then she asked me where my hubby bought it and how much... she even told me that her boyfriend said that my shoes is sexy and it looks good on me... the next day she called me early in the morning just to tell me that she got new shoes... only for me to find out that she got exactly what i have! i feel sad :( and thought that she's always jealous of what i have as she try to get it...
how about you? did you experienced the same as i have? or do you get jealous of whatever your friends have and try to get it even if it doesnt look good on you?

I'm not jealous of my friends belonging. I could care less especially about shoes. I always feel to each its own about what they buy or have. I'm not a materialistic person at all. Material things don't make me happy so I could never be jealous of someone else. If someone copied what I brought I wouldn't take it so bad because that means they think I have good taste and they like my taste. What is the big deal.

LOL.
When I was in grade school I often got jealous of my friend because she was rich and therefore she always had things that were expensive. Most of the time, she would flaunt the new things she had, ahahaha. But it never really got to me to buy the same things. It would just make me look like I wanted a competition and that I had no originality.
Nowadays, I don't think like that anymore. Maybe because I now don't feel the need to spend too much money on not-so-necessary things. And besides, I think it's pretty ridiculous to force myself to look good in something that isn't really for me. I'd rather buy something that is original and hasn't been worn by my friends/relatives yet.

i see your side mjcookie :) i do feel that before back in my younger years... i think its natural to felt like that especially if u cant afford and your friend can... but it didnt goes on deeply... i just told my self that someday i can get what i want..
and now i always buy something that looks good on me... even if i saw good stuff from my friend, i didnt try to copy them coz i know it wont look good on me... i buy those fit perfectly to me... thats why they copy me :)
thanks for the responce darl :)

Being jealous of a friends belonging is bad and such a friend is definitely no friend.
That means in her quiet moments she is really jealous and envious and this will eventually cause some problem with the friendship in future. Envy breeds hate, so avoid such friends IMO.

Nope, I think It's a bad idea to wear the same outfit because we need to be something unique on wearing shoes or clothes. We have to be different in the eyes of other people.Maybe you can get jealous because she have new shoes but only appreciate it.I have something that she don't have.

exactly! we try to be different in the eyes of other people...thats why as much as we can we will make sure we wore something different... but on what she did, its pretty obvious that she's always jealous of whatever i have from clothes to accessories and to shoes... i would understand if she bought it accidentally but she bought it after she saw mine and get the same color and design... she always do that not only to me but to some of our friends as well... but since she is my friend, i just think of the other side... i have what he doesnt have :)
thanks for your responce :)

I never got jealous with my friends who got nice shoes or sandals. I would often notice and appreciate it. For the longest time, I never had in mind to get the same shoes was what my friends have especially if it will not look good on me.
