Are you sick of being the poorest person in your neighborhood? The one with less cars? Less earnings between your friends? Sometimes, we cannot contain status awareness, If someone is really good in a certain field and gets praises, she is got to compete with somebody. We may feel envious of more successful co workers, and it cannot be prevented, or stopped, for that matter. I have experienced this. What I did to combat my emotion is I run some of my life scenarios which I excelled, those moments where I am on top/ I let envy motivate, not paralyze me. I will tell myself, yeah, she is in high status, but it does not mean she is happy.
How about you? Do you envy someone? Her vital statistics? Her weight? How do you deal with it?
Envy is a toxic emotion, how do you learn to cope with it?

I envy a lot of people sometimes but I every time I did, I just see the coolness of not having much things in life. We stay in a rural place where there are no malls and I only eat meager food yes but still it sound romantic for me to the point that I think others will have envy with me.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I envy you now. Living in a rural place with romantic setting is better than living in the city. Where people are always in a hurry, stressed and do not have take time to pause and relax.
I wish I can go back more often in our province and smell some fresh air.
