when I was young I did!.!.!.now I only feel happiness when others have good things happen to them!.!.!.specially if they are someone I see that truly deserves it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes I do!. I'd be a liar if I said I didn't!.
I know it's somehow more admirable and socially acceptable to just be happy for someone else's good fortune, not to covet other's things, but it's just human nature to want the best for ourselves too!. Selfishness is a survival tactic that we're given as an instinct!. That doesn't mean we can't care about someone else's good fortune, but I believe anyone who says they don't feel a single pang of envy is hiding the truth and trying to make themselves look good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes, and it's very annoying when i see all my friends graduate and leave me behind, i'm not feeling good about it, but after a while i realize that nothing would happen if i continue to feel bad about it so i try not to think to much about it!. I have my life they have their life Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do sometimes but not all the time!. I think everyone experiences this, is just part of being human!. We all want the best in life, so we feel resentment when we can't have something that others can!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh gosh no!. That would be unkind!. OTOH, I do bemoan *my own* bad luck and celebrate when I have good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, I count my blessings and am go from there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
