Do you Envy your friends?

I don't have envy is such cases....nor i have envied money or such things which other people possess....the only thing that i feel that ohhh...i should have got this for myself...is love ..care...and other pleasures like going around the world etc...and that too i will not envy my friend...if he/she possesses it then i will be happy....its just the feeling when i see unknown people..thats all...i never had bad feelings for any of my friends..

No i dont. I think its okey to envy..use this in a positive side..just dont harm other people. use this to improve yourself.

If someone has something that I'd like to have, also, I'm not envious, I'm happy for them. I take a look at myself instead and try to figure out how I, too, can have it and what it will take. If it's something I've wanted for a long time, I look deep inside myself to see why I haven't achieved it yet. I'm always happy for my friends for whatever they have, if it makes them happy. I may have been envious when I was much younger but age and experience has taught me how to look at most things in life in a positive way instead of with a negative emotion. If someone I don't know very well asks me to help them, I first look at how much time I have to spare. If I'm very busy, I do what I need to do before doing anything for someone else, especially if I do not know them well. If I have the time, I'm happy to help them, at least as long as they have proven themselves to be honorable and respectable people. I will not help someone who is greedy and/or selfish.

I used to be envious about relationships because my relationship with my son's father failed but now that I finally realized that this is part of life, I finally accepted everything. Now, i feel happy if I see people with successful relationships.

Hello, Sometimes I envy my friends. But I take it as a challenge for me to move forward. To be more success than them. But the important thing is, I never do dirty tricks to let they down. Because they are my friends and I am proud if they are successful!

I have to admit that I do envy some of my friends. Not because he is earning or anything, its because of brains. I am very competitive when it comes to studies and just generally obtaining more knowledge than any of my friends. When I know a friend of mine is doing well, I'll be super competitive.

Envy is having something someone else has and you don't have it. i think envy and jealousy are in our sinful natures. i feel inferior sometimes when someone has more than me. it may be my self- worth. this inferiority stems from people's success and them gloating over it. they make me feel inferior. they brag of their accomplishments, what they have that i don't have, and out of this comes envy and inferiority. these emotions stem from our hearts in our sinful natures. if success is gained by my help, i would or would not be supportive. it would depend on what is was they were doing. if i believed in their cause,yes, i would. i wouldn't be envious because i would be happy for them. i would be thankful for what i have and not what someone else has that i don't have. i have to work on this emotion of envy and to be more thankful and satisfied what i have vs what i don't have.

hello! soleya you got a nice topic in here. And I want to share a little about it.It's true it's really hard for us sometimes to admit that we feel that towards our friend specially when we see that she's really doing great in many things. And I admit also that if she need my help in anyway I will help her in all my capability coz I also want to see her achieve what she want's that what friend are for. It's not good if you envy your friends and think you will let down but it's better if you help her in a little way I can. Envy our friends to be our encourgement to do better for our self. Maybe she wants to be somebody someday or she only want to earn extra like us. Good day!!!!!

As far as I am concerned, I think sometimes I admire my friend so much in my daily life,which I think I do not have the ability like or some chances that they have. So I usually admire them so much. So In my deep heart, I will try my best to make me to be a strong man in that way, I can have the ability that they have. Ido not want to see them look down upon me.

I envy my friends sometimes, especially now that I'm frustrated and depressed over my career life. Most of them are really enjoying their jobs (not to mention they're also having a great pay) and here I am. I have a job but I'm not feeling any fulfillment, growth, and improvement in my skills (and the pay is not quite good). I want to be like them - happy with their careers, no complaints, and just enjoying life. I want to live a life with less worries, especially in terms of career.

for me, i do not envy my friends. i usually congratulates them and support them from their success whether it's from work, business, lovelife.. i'll be happy for them as long as i see them happy and contributed to their success i'll be happy as well.. i will just have to take that as an inspiration to also do well with my life.. if they can do it i can too.. =)

I have never felt envy towards marketable or business success ventures; probably b/c I am not personally into those types of things. I have known to be very jealous of my friends who are like baby-making machines though... I worked HARD for 9 years of tears and pain to have one child (I really wanted a full litter of kids!). Maybe it was all the years of hormone medicaions pumped into me that makes that way.... If any of my friends need help, I give it. I believe in the three fold law.

I am sometimes tempted to envy but I have learnt to turn it into admiration and motivation because I know envy will get me nowhere. I try to be supportive and even use the opportunity to motivate myself and remind myself I can achieve my goals. I have also learnt that in life we have different races and crosses to bear. i have learnt to not compare myself to others because I can't see the full picture of their lives. Just because they are succeeding in one area does not mean they do not have problems of their own. I am always proud when my friends succeed in whatever they do and I hope they are proud of me as well.

I definitely envy some of my friends. See, i'm a student and you know how a student's life is, you hear what your friends are doing and you feel i should've been doing that! In the case that soleya has stated i think i would help my friend with whatever he/she is doing, but i have to agree that somewhere deep down i will feel that "Why am i doing it for him when he should be doing it for me..!!" But thats just me folks..!!

I never envy others, because I believe that one owes it for he/she earned it, or at least his/her parents did. As a friend, I really hope my wealthy friends and all the others can lead happy lives. Just remember that the more live happier, the more opportunity we can live happier. We can't be better than everyone, even Mr Bill Gates could not continue to be the richest one now. So rather than envy the better ones, I would like to bless them and do my best to promote myself as well, although I indeed dream to have much money like Mr Bill and have a lovely GF (sometimes many in certain dreams, haha..) who care me very very much.

I am sure we all envy are friends and co-workers at somtime or another. I know that I do form time to time. it just depends of the situation at the time. I do try to say to myself, reguardless of what others have acommpished, to each his own. so I try to pride myself on my own acompihsmets and not worry about others.

To be honest, everyone I meet, I have something to envy them for. Whether it was their looks, body, personality or school report, it became my habit of envying people. I wouldn't say it's jealous because I am happy with the way I am...sort of. But sometimes you just wish to be better. If it's to do with work, I would fully support them because at the same time, it gives me that thought to achieve better than I am now. That is why I always sit next to smart people in class hehe. Although I always feel depressed when teachers hand out test scores since theirs will always be better than mine! But yes, it does give me the power to strife for more. I can be supportive and envious at the same time right?
