How do you cope with envy?

I’ve always struggled with comparing myself to my friends and what they could afford growing up and what we looked like, what we dressed like…now it’s gone to the next level of comparing spouses and families. Sometimes it leads me into dark rabbit holes snd I don’t like it. :/

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?
