A note of caution: We can never achieve goals that envy sets for us. Looking at your friends and wishing you had what they had is a waste of precious energy. Because we are all unique, what makes another happy may do the opposite for you. That's why advice is nice but often disappointing when heeded.

I feel like I don't really care about impressing other people. I thoroughly enjoy impressing myself.

If you enjoy yourself, then people will enjoy you.

There is nothing I enjoy more than to see others enjoy themselves.

Envy is an insult to oneself.

Envy is human nature.

All who have taken it upon themselves to rule over others have incurred hatred and unpopularity for a time; but if one has a great aim to pursue, this burden of envy must be accepted, and it is wise to accept it.

I can't really change my life to accommodate people who are jealous. I don't see why I should.

Find people not to envy but to admire. Do not the profitable but the admirable deed. Live by ideals.

I'm not confident around compliments or being celebrated, and I'm not comfortable with the thought of envy, which some people thrive on.
