Are you loyal or Jealous of your Friends?

hi friends, we are proud to have a friend like you - You sometimes looks as the best person to me for me in my life, and sometimes you make me feel jealous of you, just because you are better then me in quality. I wish I look only our friendship at that time.

Hi friends, its really good to have friends in this world, as sometimes they can be everything for you, when there is no one else to be said as yours in this world. Hope everyone accepts this truth. But at the same time we often become jealous of our own friends because of their good qualities, as they are in demand more then you. Hence you get less time of that particular friend of yours. On the other hand, even if they are loyal to you, you think that they are just acting. So at that time what is more important for you? their friendship or being jealous of them as you can be as good as they are?Here I will think I should be proud of having a friend like that. How about you?

Definitely,there's nothing like being true rather than getting jealous of our friends.Friendship is like a treasure in one's life and one should always care for it. After all, it said that "Friendship is like a rose plant, that lives in the shade; if you know the value .... you will never let it fade!!!

Hi! I would have to say that i am loyal to my friends. If they are doing better than i, then i am proud of them. I think as a friend i should be proud of their accomplishments, because they may not have the same aspirations that i have.

Being Jealous is often said to be a plus point in anyone, as it may lead to success too sometimes. But in friendship, it can be harmfull too. You said it right, we should be proud of our friends doing better then us, nor just be jealous of them.

I tend to not be a very jealous person in general, so I'm never really jealous of my friends. I congratulate them when they do good at something and I support them, but I'm not really jealous of them. :) Then again, more and more lately it seems that my friends are not as good friends as I had thought. My husband and I just got married and our mutual friend was supposed to be in the wedding, but he called a month and a half before the wedding to tell us that he was leaving with his wife to head to a different state on the day of our wedding, so he wasn't going to be in it. And then he said he wouldn't be able to see us while we visited home for the wedding because they were going on a cruise and then leaving, but our other friend said that he was home at least for a week and a half when we were home and he never called or anything. And another of my friends was supposed to be the photographer for our wedding (this had been set up for more than 6 months ahead of time) and then 9 DAYS before the wedding she tells us she has to work and can't come to our wedding, so we're left last minute trying to find a photographer and then spending an extra $600 that we hadn't expected to spend. But i think it's definitely more important to be loyal and support your friends than to be jealous of them. Jealousy is counter productive and doesn't get you anywhere, but loyalty is always a good quality to have.

Is that a true story related to you? Yes you are right, loyalty is always a good quality to have, but similarly tough to maintain.

Being jealous towards a friend is just normal. I think it is just like any other relationship. What you do with that feeling is what matters a lot. Will you be mad at your friend or not? I would like to believe that I am a loyal friend up to a certain point. If I find that my friend betrays me, then it is just normal that I would turn away from that friendship. My loyalty even translates to my work ethics and that was applauded to my once by my boss.

I can't say that I have ever been jealous of my friends. But I have friends that are very jealous of me and they make it hard to be friends. I am a loyal friend and people tell me all the time but how do you deal with the jealousy.

Its really not easy to deal with jealousy, but we have to. If they are good friends, we can just exlain and clear all their doubts.

I would say I am the loyal type of friend, not the jealous one. Since childhood, I have always been taught that jealousy will never give us any good. I am selective of my friends that is why they are so precious to me. I am loyal and honest and do not ever wish to do harm against my friends. To me, my friends are part of my family. I can't afford to hurt or lose my family. Thank you. Happy mylotting.

its not that all the jealous friends are not loyal. Some upfront commit that they are jealous, but still they are loyal.

I 've never got jealous of my friends because i've never felt they 've got a thing better than me. I dont want to say they 're jealous of me, It's their problems, their feeling, I just keep ignoring if it would happen. That's all. I dont want to break up with friends. I love our friendship and so do they, i think. feel free to drop by at my free game site: www.game4pal.com, thanks

I think its realy tough to find a good friend and if i get a friend who is better than me then despite of being jealous i will take its benefit. If he is best then atleas i can be better than what i am today by being in his company. I will surely proud of such a person being my friend! Happy mylotting...

Definately friends are the most precious of all.. you can rely on them when you are in trouble,happy .. I am a very loyal to my friends and they are too to me .. A doubt once formed can never make good friends .. so if ever you get such a doubt in your mind then it just explains that its not good friendship atall.

well, i could say to myself that i'm a very loyal friend. i always see the good side of friends and never forget the nice things they have done to me. as for your question if i'm jealous with my friends, the answer is no. i might at times feel competitive but not really jealous. what usually happens is that when a friend of mine excels, i'm proud of him and i would even love being in his/her company because if she/he becomes famous, then i'll have some attention too.

I try to be loyal to mine. One of the things I hate to do is abandon them. But......I will admit that sometimes I wish I had lives like my friends do. Like this one friend of mine makes way more money then me. I would LOVE to have that. But sadly that aint reality. But then I remember this better to be a good friend than an envious one :).

I'm not going to lie, I am incredibly jealous of my friends. Although I am nice to them and I hang out with them all the time, I am jealous of them. I am usually not a very nice person, but all of my friends are just nice people. I have no idea how they do it. People just annoy me!
