Now, if we're in this situation where a lot of us are struggling and then suddenly there is this person who is not, who got the jackpot, who has figured it all out, of course we're going to feel envious. It's this primal instinct of ours kicking in, saying, how can we have that? It's very much born from the days when we could fight and steal for the better territory.

We could fight and steal for the better piece of meat, for the position closest to the fire. Nowadays, we've been socialized to realize that, you know, you probably can't go up and wrestle with someone for their job at a big four firm. But those old parts of our brain that see something we want and immediately are trying to figure out either A, how we can get it or B, why we want it so much.

I think the two most common manifestations of envy are disparagement and distancing, specifically in relation to our social relationships. You begin to resent your friends. You resent your colleagues even. And you act out in a bitter and annoyed way. Comparing to strangers is one thing. And I think the consequences of that are very isolated. They're very much individual for us.

But comparing to peers, let alone close friends, is when we really start seeing interpersonal consequences. So I'm talking friends. Drama, tension, fighting, distancing between us and our friends.
