Are you an Envious person?
 
Long as we're into various emotional things. Are you envious? Something you'd like to have or be able to do?

I suppose with me, it's more pure admiration than anything. What this guy does has been filmed and analyzed many times. Can anybody else do it as well? Nope.

Is this a trick question?

I'm not envious of others.....it is they who are envious of me!

But even "the most interesting man in the world" got replaced.

Not a big pool player so that doesn't interest me much... for me it would be the great guitar players, EVH, SRV, etc.

Now all the cool cars/motorcycles you guys own... THAT makes me envious! :D

I am just better than anyone else...

used to think I had an ego problem. But the heck with it, I'm perfect!

I'm envious of people who have a blissful lack of self awareness

Boy howdy on that! The restrictions of a diabetic diet. If I get suicidal, I'll first head to a bakery..

I am perfect in my imperfections.

Well, Mr. Perfect...the guy in the opening video will be in Vegas before long. A little thing called the Mosconi cup. The best of Europe pool players vs. the best of the USA. Forget which casino will be hosting it. Pretty loud and rowdy event with fans of both cheering, which is usually frowned upon. Europe has dominated the past few years. Teams being selected now.

You might go root for our home guys...

This from last year in Europe will give you an idea what it'll be like.

People who routinely envy others are stricken with a bad curse.

Thank God I'm not one of 'em with that hangup. Class warfare is ugly.

Happiness is a choice.

dafischer 09-24-2017 05:52 PM

I'm not envious of anyone. I'm perfectly happy with where I've gotten in life, and who and what I have in my life.

sc_rufctr 09-24-2017 05:56 PM

"Living well is the best revenge"... Live well and you'll attract envy.

No. I think envious is an extreme and perhaps unhealthy form of admiration. There are people I admire.

Absolutely, but I chalk it up to making different life decisions. I admire artists, but I look at the ones who worked for me and realize - they worked for ME and they were probably envious of me for being a successful businessman able to give them jobs.

Having said that, I am not envious, but I envy people who are.

aschen 09-25-2017 10:56 AM

I really don't want and certainly don't need anything more in my life. I don't think my life would be improved by "striking it rich".

There was a 5-10 year period in my late 20s/early 30s where I was mostly single and I was a bit envious of friends with happy families. I have since married and have a lovely wife and great children so that period is behind me.

Tidybuoy 09-25-2017 11:26 AM

I am sometimes envious of others but never jealous. There are people/friends of mine that have something really great. I can be envious but I'm also completely happy with my own situation. I may strive for things that I'm envious of and that's motivation for me.
