Are
you envious of anybody...why?Anyone who's happy with life. Because. I hate mine.
Talia, 25
Stamford, CT
USA
Doing the same things I did during the first
of it, trying to stay cool, writing, shopping, visiting kids and grandkids. Just enjoying
my life.
Judy, 62
Easton, KS
USA
Sometimes I envy beautiful young women.
(Young is relative to your own age, I've found.) But I don't dwell on it. I just try to be
grateful for what I have.

Sure, I envy people who are happily retired
and can afford a huge, comfortable motorhome. But I'm not jealous of anyone. (Semantics?)

Silver Spring, MD USA
Well it's not a full-blown envy...but I
wouldn't mind making as much as some people in upper management for as little work as they
actually do.
Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA
Not especially.
Nicci, 27
Las Vegas, NV
USA
Some people have things that I would like to
have, such as lots of money or a tiny waist, but I'm a pretty fortunate person. I make do
with what I'm stuck with, and I'm a pretty happy person. no point in being jealous.
Besides, if I see someone I'm jealous of, I usually try to be friends with them.
That's almost like having what they have...
Cancer, 20

Absolutely not. I have my family, my health
and a job. I have nothing to be envious of.

Well, I try to count my blessing
instead of envying others, but I guess I'd have
to admit that I occasionally suffer from "petty envy"...my best friend's cute
little body that hasn't changed since high school (and mine has)...my Aunt's newly adopted
Chinese baby (cause I really want another child, too)...my sister's nice, new house...and,
oh, there are probably others, but I honestly don't dwell on being envious. I think those
things that others have would be nice, but I have nice stuff, too. Maybe my body isn't in
exactly the same form as it was in high school, but it's not too bad, either! I was
blessed with one wonderful, beautiful, intelligent, healthy child...and perhaps my house
isn't new (quite the opposite, in fact), but it has character!

Come to think of it, not really. I used to
be of my cousin before until I realized it was an illusion I was envious of. So, as of
now, I'm envy free. I always look at the reason I feel that way and how to change it and
if I'd be any happier with whatever I felt envy towards, and that seems to make it go away
for some odd reason.

Envious??? I don't think I am of
anyone at this time. In the past I have been. Seems everyone has some not-so shiny part of
their life. I'm happy and content with my dull parts.
Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA
USA
Yes, I am envious of those who can control
themselves from eating everything in sight.
Sarah Jane, 15
Preston, CT
USA
This week I visited with an old friend from
college who is hoping to go to Afghanistan in mid-October to teach English (and given the
proclivities of this friend, self reliance) to Afghan women. I don't envy her the journey
to that troubled country but I'm a little envious of her energy and enthusiasm.
Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA
No. I don't envy anyone. (Even though my
sister Karen might think I envy her ;-0) (Karen, that's a joke!) I'm very happy with
my life as it is.
Laura, 37
Lowell, MA
USA
I envy people who were born with traits I
wasn't -- great musical talent, superb coordination, a metabolism that makes the thought
of dieting a joke. I don't envy material things and I don't envy apparently wonderful
lives because one doesn't know what lies beneath the surface.
Jane, 62
West Linn, OR
USA
My sister-in-law, I guess, because
it seems like she has great jobs fall into her lap
without too many special qualifications. But I still wouldn't trade her life for mine, by
any means.
Karen, 22
Ames, IA
USA
To be envious of someone I'd really have to
dwell on them and I'm way too self-centered to do that.
Alias Irrelevante
Not really, but
if I had more time to think of someone, Im sure I would find somene that I am envious of..
Brad, 21
Sydney AUSTRALIA
I'm envious of my sister Laura, (this is no
joke). She has chosen her life on her terms and enjoys what she does for a living and how
she wants to live her life; I want to be just like her when I get to be her age!!!
