Sounds like anxiety due to not feeling equal to them. That can be used to propel you forwad if you change its meaning.

What do you think of yourself? How could you raise your self worth?

I just tell them not to let it bother them, we can still be friends.

When I feel envy, I don't try to suppress it. I use it.

Envy just means someone has something I deeply want but don't have yet. So instead of letting it grind me down, I use it as fuel to go get that thing myself.

The key is to lift yourself up, not pull the other person down.

And more often than not, when you finally reach that point or get what they have, you see the real cost behind it — the struggle, the sacrifice, the patience it took them to get there. If you're wise, the envy quietly turns into respect. Nobody gets hurt. Both of you grow.

And even if you don't get exactly what you wanted, you'd have moved forward. That's never wasted.

I've never suffered from envy but what did help me ALOT feel better about myself was working on me . Physically,mentally , education wise etc....u have to do things that....make u proud of you and u need to deal with that internalized shame and hate for yourself.

I guess... I tell myself. Don't try be someone else, everybodies taken.

Everyones got their own worries, I tried my best.

Sometimes I'm bothered my effort isn't rewarded that well nor my planning. I get bothered. I don't begrudge myself wanting more. In that same breath, I just tell myself if I want to get something, it'll take planning and execution on my own.

But most importantly, I decide my own path and don't let it be tainted by others decisions. If I can't find a good reason to want somethong, I let it go as immaterial. If there is good functional reason to own something, I add it to the list.

If something I want Im going to only use it twoce or less a year, I would rather have the empty space. Just try to value empty space as a good relaxer and decompressor to your mind and body I think makes owning things a lot easier and buying less frequent.

The only thing that works for me is doing good. If I feel content and satisfied I don't have these feelings. If I'm not doing well, feel depressed, feel a lot of existential dread etc. I isolate myself from people who have great time, do well etc. I can't stand being around them and frankly, there's a high risk I would behave shitty if I was somehow forced to be around them and their success and happiness was rubbed in my face while I'd feel like drowning.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

I really don't. I joke around a lot how I'm jealous of this and that when in fact I'm not. I think I've mastered not feeling jealous to about 90% of things.

Injustice anger is a different feeling.

Defeating envy STARTS by loving and appreciating everything that you ARE and everything that GOD has given you. God gives everyone gifts, and we should NEVER be ungrateful for the things that HE has given us.

Been around many in my life that had far more then me. It never bothered me.

The only person you have any reason to compare yourself with is your past self, not other people.

If you are by any measure a better person now than you used to be then that is a success.

But comparing yourself to others is a recipe for eternal misery because there is always someone smarter, prettier, more successful, richer or whatever other dimension you might measure them on.

i don't deal with it. that's why i'm here and not on fb i guess

I think that you have to rationalise it. It's a futile exercise. You go round in circles and end up right where you started. It is not in our gift to have all things. Some will have more, some will have less. Some will appear to have more while actually having less. What you see from the outside doesn't tell the whole story either.

Ultimately, time spent agonisting over what others have is time wasted. Focus on yourself. You have but one life and you are the only one who can make something of it.

I live my own way. There's no one to envy. I figured out that no one else in the universe can be me but me.

Envy is the desire to have what someone else has (a two person scenario), whereas jealousy is the fear of losing something you already possess to someone else (a three person scenario).

You now have to ask yourself, are you envious of others or are you jealous of others?
