ANYTHING YOU CAN DO I CAN DO BETTER~
Have you ever been jealous of your friends? Maybe for a talent they can do that you can't? Or how about being able to do something you can't do?
For me, I'd say that a few of my friends are able to do things I wish i could do. Drawing is one of them. However, to make up for drawing, I guess I could say I'm a good writer. D: |
Yes, because me friend gets straight A's, although he's jealous of me because I can do everything else (even though I basically get most A's).
|
Not all. Even though I'm one of the top students, I'm jealous of their talents. Mainly in sports and wealth(plus health).
|
I...can't say I've ever felt that. XD; I admire people but that doesn't necessarily make me jealous of them, I know I have my fair share of skills and that alone helps me get through pretty much anything.
|
Well, not really "jealous" per se. Let's say they have something I really like to have and I can't get it(or learn it) because there are some things that hindered me from getting it.
|
iget jealous. of people who can make images better than me. which considering i'm in a class full of 'em, 4 full days a week, it's a big green monster. ijust try my hardest. ialso get jealous of my friends who are better at music then me. since these are the two main things ido. also iget jealous of anyone who has higher practical physical capabilities than me generally...
|
All of the time.
I'm in band, and have been for like 9 years now... I've always been surrounded by people with that natural talent that always keeps them in first chair and gets them section leader when you know they never practiced much at all. Of course now that I'm in college the people that don't practice and don't care are being rooted out... but there are still people that hate their instrument and never practice and are a thousand times better than I ever could be. |
I have been, yes. Usually it's less about their talents and more about what they have that I don't. Usually, close friendships. It sucks, being a loner. D:
Can't say I've felt that way in awhile, though. |
I am a walking talking jealous case...that is all...D;
|
↑ That. Only I have more to say about it. XD Although I am a total jealous case, the jealousy usually goes away after a while. |
The only thing about my friends that I'm 'jealous' of per se is that somehow, people always want to be with them, and no matter how I try, others would rather be around them than me. o_o; It's hard to describe. XD
|
No me and my friends are never jealous of each other.
|
Nah, I never get jealous of my friends and their achievements. I'm proud of them, actually. :)

I was going to say something similar. But no point when I can just quote you XD |
yes i do.
a lot of my friends are thin, and i get jealous cause im curvey x_X. |
When I was younger I used to be like that just because my friends had more friends and were, well, better (at least that's how it felt at first).
Now I'm a bit different, though I'm still sometimes jealous about some things my friends are better at. :/ |
NO YOU CAN'T! >:O
I'm often jealous of my friends, but usually over small, petty things like "omg, they got the last slice of pizza ;__;" or something like that. |
I often become jealous of my friends, and yet I'm proud of them at the same time. Sure, I wish I was on the receiving end of the good stuff they're gettin', but I figure they earned it more than I.
Jealousy is only a fleeting emotion anyway. Best to just suck it in, put on a happy face, and move on with your day. Just look forward to that one day when you get something they don't... XD Is that petty of me? I think it is. |
Quote:
Seriously, though, there's nothing wrong with fleeting jealousy; it's a natural human emotion. It's only when it consumes you. :S |
Peh. My friends are generally lame when it comes to being able to do cool stuff or whatever. So, no. But if I met someone who was able to do something cool that I couldn't do, I may be a tad envious.

I don't think I have ever really felt compelled with jealousy over one of my friends and something they may have the ability to do that I cannot. Like said, we all have our own share of abilities or skills that others may not have, which makes us all unique. Sure there are things that others can do that I wish I was capable of, but I'm satisfied of what I have potential to do as well. Except for Siggy and her amazing art skills, now that makes me completely jealous. J/K xD |
Not exactly; I'm not that jealous type. I am usually the one who's applauding or encourage them to become better.
|
I used to get jealous a lot when I was younger.
But I just ditched the jealous tendencies, so it's very rare that I'm jealous now. And I must say it's much better :3 |
No, because I am far superior aharharharharharhar *chokes*
Actually, I have never envied a single person, ever. I look at myself and see my own talents, and I'd rather utilize them rather than waste my time envying someone who can dance or cook. OF COURSE THIS DOES NOT FREE ME FROM THE GRASP OF ADMIRATION OH HO HO HO! On a somewhat unrelated note, I am usually the one squealing in the snotty voice, "ANYTHING YOU CAN DO I CAN TO BETTER~" |
No, I'm not really jealous of my friends. I wouldn't really want any of their talents. But I am jealous of my friend who can speak three languages (English, French and German). Sure, no one can understand a word I would say, but that's two free A's in those subjects in school. Also, people ask her how to say swear words in German. I would teach them to say that they're stupid etc. so they would be oh so oblivious.
She's really to shy to avail of those skills. But other than that, no. I'm not one of those people who wants my friend's hair colour or style (which is pointless. I know so many curly haired people who have this obsession with straight hair, and straight haired people have an obsession with curling it. Redundant. ) |
Yes. I pretty much suck at everything I try to do. I have been sitting in a wheelchair for 7 moths, and just recently got standing again. My feet and arms are much weaker, so I'm embarrassed to throw in basketball and kick in soccer. The reason I was sitting in a wheelchair is because I have a disease called ME (Don't remember what it stands for) that makes me so tired after for example, a soccer match, that I have to lie in bedfor a week before I recover. Sucks to be me, but I know people in other places have it much worse.
So yeah, I am jealous. XD |
Well, i've no talent for anything, so i'm quite often jealous at others who have.
Always getting 4s or 5s (german graduation system goes from 1 to 6, 1 being very good and 6 being ... not so good) in Art, Sports and Music while anyone else has 2s, that's quite annoying, and causes jealousy. |
My friends say that I'm an excellent person that knows a lot of information about the female. I know they don't because I heard that one of them slapped because they said the wrong thing to that girl. As so, I'm a good sweet talker and all, but my friend is a good mechanic, which I'm not. :)
|
I'm only jealous of one of my friends and that's because he's a really good drawer. :[
|
I tend to only be interested in befriending people who are significantly superior to me in at least one respect, so it's no surprise that I'm constantly envious of the people around me. My ex-boyfriend is the prime example, being a genius polyglot with regard to the languages of both humans and computers, in addition to academically, musically and socially talented. I also live constantly under the shadow of my estranged father, an infamous hacker and the founder of Wikileaks.
|
By jealous, I mean that I wish I were like them. I wish I were more religious like my friends, who seem to be so sure of their life, and don't go on contemplations of our purpose here in life like I do.
I also wish I were more active and enjoyed sports like my friends do. But I don't think I will, since it seems that every time I try a sport, someone has to make it a pain for me and put me off of it. :[ |
