When your best friend is better than you in everything, her work, her look, her family background ....... Will you feel jealous of her?

No i would not. I think my bestfriend is better than me, and i dont work so she definately has a better job than me. She is a teacher, but i am not jealous of any of that.

If some one was so much better then me I have to say I would have a problem being friends with them. Even if they never say how wonderful they are someone else will. I would be friendly but not close. I would have wonder if she's so wonderful why did she chose me as a friend.

well i understand how you feel, its not odd at all to feel like that. even if most people would deny it, deep inside i think even a little we feel that with our friends once in a while especially if they achieve something big etc. I feel that with some of my friends sometimes but i don't think much about it because i realized if i compare myself more i'll be bring myself down. I feel that way but then when i feel like that I think and say to myself, everyone has their own kind of thing they are good at, one person may be good with socializing with other people, excelling in careers but there's always a downside to these positive things happening to them. Others have that but then I realize they are not too happy with their family/parents etc. There are so many things in life that may seem perfect for one person but in reality there are things too that they get jealous about you and you don't even know it. And your friend and you don't even realize that each of you is jealous of each other. Remember there's always something you are better at on that person. :D

Since she is my best friend, of course I will not be jealous. I will accept everything she is, and be happy for her. Her joy will be my joy. I think probably I will envy her instead.

I won't feel jealous because she is my best friend but maybe I will envy her that's all.

I don't think that I would feel very jealous. There might be just a small bit of envy or wishing I could have some of the things that other person has however jealousy seems like a sinful thing especially if it is coming between a good friendship and I wouldn't want to let that happen. Everyone has their own abilities and strengths. There is always going to be someone that has more than you but you just need to count the blessings of what you have in your life. It is a waste of time just being jealous or constantly thinking about coveting another person's life and the things they do in it. There might be those that chose a great line of work or a great profession and it seems that they have it all. But that doesn't mean that you can't have that either with a little hard work. These people that seem to have everything might not have gotten to where they are over night. Some people really work hard to get what they want in life.

No, I never feel jealous because each person has his own definition of success. If my friend has better look, job and family than I am, I will be happy for him/her. I have my own life and my own way of reaching my goal in life too.

Nope. We might share the same funny stories and activities but jealousy is not on my vocabulary. It would only break my friendship with someone and will lower my self-steem. We have our own blessing from God and we have to appreciate it and use it to help and share to others. Jealousy are for those person who are selfish.

Everyone have their own fate. There's no same life in this world even if you are twins. So why would we feel jealous with someone especially our friend? Does it worth something? Of course it doesn't. I wouldn't jealous with my friends. I realized that God has a good plan for us. We have planned with our own fate which practically different with the other. There's prettier than a prettiest, there's richer than a richest, there's smarter than a smartest, there's higher than a highest in this world, and so on. The differences between us have making this world become colourful and wonderful. Can you imagine if you are living on a world which only filled by only a same face, same race, same abilities, same on everything without any small difference? Do you think it would be an interesting world? I doubt you'd like it.
