Envy is an emotion that we often find ourselves feeling - but why? The answer is simple: we are envious of someone’s life because we don't feel like our lives are good enough. This might be due to the fact that they have more money, better skills, or even just luckier than us. We're envious of their lifestyle and it makes us feel inadequate.

It's not their fault that you're feeling down on yourself! It's just that there is this sense of inadequacy in your life which you can't shake off. Jealousy usually involves feelings of anger and disappointment, which may lead to aggression towards the person who took what was wanted.

Our society has an obsession with comparing ourselves to other people. What we need to do is focus on what we like about ourselves and work on those qualities. We should stop comparing ourselves to other people because that's not healthy and it only leads to feelings of jealousy and envy which are really bad for our mental health.

Parents often find themselves envying their children and their lifestyles, and this can often lead to feelings of inadequacy. However, we need to remember that we are not our children’s peers. We may be able to help them with homework or drive them places; we may be able to take care of them when they are sick or deal with school issues for them. But if they want the latest video game system or a cell phone, it is best for us to encourage their sense of independence by letting them work for it.

Awareness is the key to avoiding these feelings of envy. To avoid feeling like our own life is in some way incomplete without a child and resenting our kids for what we think they have that we don't, parents need to stop comparing themselves with their

Comparison is a natural human response. It is also an inevitable part of life. What we need to do is make sure that we are not comparing ourselves with others in a negative way and use the right comparisons to help us identify our own strengths and weaknesses.

A comparison can be positive too, if it leads us to identify something that we don't have but would like to have or something that we do have that wouldn't be bad to improve on.

What matters is how you frame the comparison in your mind - both when you are doing it and when you are analyzing it later on. If you frame it negatively, then it's more likely that you'll feel envious of your counterpart than if you frame it positively.

It's all too easy to get caught up in this trap of jealousy and envy when we see other people living a seemingly perfect life. But what if they don't have it as good as we think? What if there is a lot going on behind the scenes?

We often find ourselves envying others for their seemingly perfect lives without realizing that there may be things going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. We might not be able to see it from where we are standing but what if they are just as unhappy as others?

It is important for us to remember that no one's life in the world goes on in the same order or that no one is perfectly happy. There is struggle in everyone's life.

The first step to dealing with jealousy and envy is to identify what it is that you are feeling. The next step would be to figure out if there are any actions you can take to improve your situation.

It's normal to feel jealous or envious about someone else's life, we should not be ashamed of these feelings because they are natural and they can help us motivate ourselves for success but it is important to know that it is ok to feel this way sometimes.

So we should all use the feeling of jealousy or envious towards others in a positive way to improve our lives. If you can't do that, you need to be aware of changing your own mindset. Otherwise you will be destroyed by the fire of your own jealousy.

Envious or jealousy, I experienced it too. I usually comparing myself and my life as well to other people. In other words I am not contented to what I have. But I realized everything and thank God for what I received in this life. No matter what good or bad it is.

You're right, the main thing is to be satisfied with what I have and to improve myself with inspiration from the success of others.

We naturally experienced this feelling as a human but we shouldn't let it eat us. Instead we just do our best and be contented to everything that we have.

Sometimes, I start to envy my friends as I believe that they are better than me and that I am incomplete but I never feel perfectly happy.

These feelings are more or less with all of us so there is nothing to be sad about. It is important to focus on achieving your goals.
