There's a difference between envy and jealousy. It's fine to be envious and jealous both, but if you start to be resentful and behave aggressively when jealousy takes over, that's where you should evaluate if you really want to be friends with me.

I mean, why be friends with someone who gives you lots and lots of negative emotions?
