[VIDEO] Envy is a form of flattery, when I am envious of someone I tell them so! It seems to get it off my chest. Everyone I've ever said it to takes it as a compliment.
Read original comment ↗> Pretty sure what you're describing is jealousy and not envy. Homer Simpson and I are both pretty sure it is indeed envy, not jealousy. [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗As Homer Simpson noted^, jealousy and envy mean different things. If you're jealous, you're worried someone will take something away from you, whereas an envious person just wants to get other people's success for themself. ^ [VIDEO]
