Is being a little jealous of a peer something that I should break, or is it ok? He’s a friend of mine, its not hateful jealousy, and we both believe I’m the more intelligent one, but I find myself wanting things that he has or being more like him. Is this a problem, and if so how big of one? X_X
Nothing wrong with admiring someone, and wanting to be more like them!
Are you admiring that person or do you feel a negative emotion when you think about the ‘better’ attributes he/she has? If it’s the latter, for your internal peace, it’s obviously not a good mindset to have. If it negatively affects the way you treat him and/or is something that your mind obsesses on, then I’d say it’s a problem.
Hmm
It’s not a huge problem but don’t let it get too out of hand.
Lol what would be considered “out of hand”?
Acting negatively towards him in any way. As @dblazer says, as long as it doesn’t turn into something you think about constantly or come up with anything you want to act on, it’s okay.
CC isn’t really the place to be discussing this.
