Have you ever felt envious of your friends because you think that they're better than you? I've felt that before but now i've overcome it. We all have our own strengths and weaknesses so there's no reason to envy others.

No, I love my friends so much.. :) I would really admire their talent for it and be proud of their achievements.. There are just about few of us in our group of friends that really go out together and we all have different personalities and talents.. I would understand how would one feel because it was an issue between me and my friend before, she spread bad rumors about me but things were sort out and it's ok and it was a product of being envious..

Before, but not with my friends, i envy my older sister because she is more beautiful than i am... she is more popular because of her looks...she has the love of my father... but as i grow older and wiser... i understand that both of us have our own qualities, she may be beautiful than i am but i am better in school abd in sports than her...she may have the love of my Dad i have my love of my mom.... so now, i never envy to anyone... because i know i am unique and i have my own strengths as well as weaknesses

Well, I am sure there are many of us here who have envied a friend one time or another. I know I have envied a couple of mine over the yrs. due to the Clothes they wore, or the families they came from, jobs they had, etc. It is natural to have these thoughts from time to time. The problem with them, is what you choose to do with them, and how it interacts with your friendship as a whole.

I have never been envious of others. I never saw it getting people anywhere, and in most cases it just made people depressed. I love my friends to pieces, but I am perfectly happy with what I have and with who I am.

Yah sometimes but sometimes I control myself. It's just that it's like they want to exert their self as someone who is higher and knows more but whatever she's doing she's still my friend and all my friends, I really take it this time as true. I treasure them but not as much as my family though

yes thats correct.. you should not envy your friend ,, if you think he do things better that you, ask him what does he think about, how did he come up to that decision you should not envy, you should ask for advise learn from your friend and im sure he is really a good friend he will teach you. God Bless!!!
