It's a not a person, but I envy, maybe not envy, but would love to be/have been the good looking, star athlete at any big suburban high school.

The amount of tail and quality of said poon these guys have access too is astonishing.

That's true -- they get some of the most achingly sweet pussy that has ever walked the face of the earth.

But you know what? They don't really appreciate it. Dudes that young are almost completely psychological, they've got all kinds of nonsense in their heads, and they fuck that pussy very dully. The quality of the meat is lost on them, they would never take the time to set it up right and to savor it.

It's true what they say: youth is wasted on the young. It's a great time for sure if you're that kind of golden boy, but to envy it? Nah. A man comes into his own later in life, and if he's lived well and thought right, that is when he has the brains and the balls to truly relish every bite of some sweet piece of young meat that may be thrown his way.

Of course, but we're all human; who among us hasn't, at least sometimes, felt the slight sting of envy on the back of their necks?

You come to understand envy as an illusion. In isolation another man may something you want, but you wouldn't trade lives with him if you had to take on his responsibilities/duties/sacrifices that you don't currently have to deal with.

Same. Myself in 5 years. Also put's pressure on me to use my time wisely.

Honestly, I envy people with moderation. I'm an all or nothing type of guy. While that gives me an advantage in many areas, the day to day grind can kill me at times. When drinking, I almost always black out. When working, I can let 12 hours go by in order to solve a problem. Sometimes my own intensity gets the best of me. I feel that this personality will continually make me successful, but I wish I had a button to press to turn me into a moderate guy. My brother is super laid back and sometimes I wish I could be like him. He doesn't get laid much and has a mediocre life, but he's perfectly content watching football all day and updating his fantasy team. I almost wish I could be blue pill and content with life sometimes.

I had this all or nothing issue all of my life as well, and in many ways still do. It has made me successful in many ways but very destructive in others. Its why I carry so many chronic injuries and am not able to dabble in rec drugs very often. However learning discipline and self control can keep it in check and still allow you to shine where you need to in life.

I'm lucky that I come from a good family. I would definitely be a junkie if I grew up in a broken home. Growing up, I was addicted to hockey and played through college. I could see myself taking a different path if I came from a single mother household.

People here may argue about semantics and specific situations, but 9 times out of 10 envy is a toxic emotion, much different from desiring
or respecting something someone else has. I can feel it sometimes but always try to avoid this 'hater mentality'.

What's even worse is that this type of feeling can be quite contagious.
The more time spent among attention whores and bitchy narcissists who are full of envy, the more you start internalizing their toxic mental framework which can be a powerful force pulling you down.
Even thought about creating a thread about this..

About the question: Donald Trump is the kind of person that I'd like to become more like, although I am quite the opposite.
