Everyone also wants to be beautiful, talented, successful. So am I. It is really annoying to see people better than me. I feel jealous of them. I know that it should not be like that but I can't stop thinking like that! What should I do now?

THere are countless people who are more beautiful,rich or smarter than us,and it is useless envying them.And no matter how better they are,they can't do good or bad to our life,especially in relationship,lol.All we need to do is to try our best to improve our ability and good tastes for a future carrer and a desired life,do you agree with me girl?It's a commom problem for young people during their puberty and it's quite normal.Don't worry you could cope with it when more mature spiritually and mentally.Wish you all the best girl!

Sorry. Before I thought you were a girl.And in your profile, it doesn't tell me your gender. Maybe your username: eagertoknow makes me think the word: " girl". Sorry again!

You're right. We are not the best. Maybe we are the worst. The only thing we can do is try our best to improve our ability, knowledge. Envy doesn't make us more beautiful, richer or smarter. Thank for your share! A good girlfriend!

envy is the worst cause of hatred, which is almost impossible cured with anything, exvept if an envious heart had found peace. so let us be patient with friends . . . who spoke with hatred, because it is very likely that due to the hearts of those who envy. and let us help them receive that our success is also for their kind.

We should be glad for the success of others. If we always envy others, we will be very tired. We should be proud of what we have. Yes, envy is the worst cause of hatred. But we have to fight with ourselves, overcome our own selfishness in order to improve ourselves.

right, we should be better and better in every activity we are either undergoing work-related or otherwise.

I know exactly how this feels, because I have been in the same position as you. It's really hard to stop feeling envy towards others, isn't it? What I did was to list all of my good qualities and the good things I have in life that are often taken for granted. Whenever I catch myself comparing myself to others, I review the list and see the good things I have got, not anyone else. Appreciation goes a long way.
