I will feel bad. I hate people who succeeded by stepping on others' feet. It is not a sweet success.

No, I am happy for them. I am human though, if I'm going through a rough time financially I can get a bit jealous. Generally I am happy for them though, unless they continually brag about it. My friends that I consider real friends are very generous when they are doing well and I'm not. When I am better off financially then my friends or family, I will help them out and visa versa. Success isn't measured only by how much money you make or what job title you have, though money is nice. Success can be measured by how many good friends or relationships you have. I am very lucky to have a great best friend and a great relationship with my mom and my dad, even though he lives 2,000 miles away.

No. If my friends are successful I’m usually very happy for them. It’s selfish to begrudge a friend of happiness. If my friend is successful then maybe they can help me become successful as well. That’s what friends are for, to help each other.

Well that maybe comes in between!
It is so disappointing and yes it is easy to say what you are saying as of now but really rare ones do it for friends

Well what if they arent happy when you are successful
these are the expectations from your side that if you are happy for them they will be, for you
But expectations arent always true

No not really, I am happy for them. But when it's people I don't like then I hate it when they become successful.

Well do you think they would do the same! If yes then you got really good friends but they are really hard to find!

Oh boy you have been spying on my mind.
I suffer badly from envy and I have to say it is both destructive and invigorating, but mostly destructive.
I put it down to a lack of self confidence which makes it difficult to go out and beat my own drum - even when I know I have something really good to offer.
The people who succeed have a happy knack of combining extroverted self confidence AND talent.
I have talent but no self confidence so I get stuck in envy. Hope this makes sense!

Friendships, in general, are suddenly contracted; and therefore it is no wonder they are easily dissolved. Rivalry at aim is best, but getting jealous is very bad. Such friends come and go no problem. But the become enemies due to the jealous thats the real problem for life time. But as for as I concern with respect to life none is greater or better than friendship.

No, I will never hate, I will always appreciate them for their hard earned success. It is not easy to be successful so we should encourage success rather than hating.

I don't envy my friends when they are successful in fact I am happy for them. We support each other when it comes to good and bad times. We uplift each other instead of pulling each other down.
