Hello mylotters! In our everyday life, we encounter different people.In workplace, it's not new if a person in high positioned was being envied with someone. But what will you do if the person who envies you is your close friend? Share with me your opinions. Thank you.

i do not think i can do much about this, because that is his/or her feelings toward me and i do not know if i can ever change that. maybe what i can do is just take a step back and try to see how i can be of help to a friend who shows signs of being envious.

It would be really difficult if that happens. But I would surely asked her why she envies me. I am sure there will be a reason. And I will try to make it clear and explain her there is nothing to be envied about me.

It's okay for me to be envied with my close friends. It's just normal that my friend says "I envied you because you have a daughter has good grades"... "that my husband earns much than her husband"... "that we have this and that"... It's just a word when we talked and I'm also saying the likes to her... like "I envy you because all your kids are grown up"... "you have a wonderful kids"...the good thing is,... we envied positively! What I mean is, we show and say envies with respect. Envy with selfishness is a no-no! I don't do that. I don't envy someone to the point that I should curse her... and I would think that Im the most worth it to be in her shoes than her! Oh! no way! When my friend is happy, I'm happy for her! I don't welcome negatives to my relationships with my friends. And that's what are friends for! Happy reading Greninee!

I think I will share the thought of competition to him, but also share some tips while we are in race. Currently, I am more in the position of envy my friends. But they are keep giving me support and some suggestion. So I thought keep in touch closely with our friend will help the situation.

If a close friend of my envy in the case of goodness, I think it's fine. it could even give him motivation to be better than me. and I will not let envy makes us even further afield. I will keep his feelings, and gives him the sense that he also can do it.
