Is it jealousy? No. It is just a feeling that you use to challenge yourself. Last week, my friend who is the same age bought a car. I was genuinely happy for him but deep down, I was sad that I don't have a car.

Is that a bad feeling or a positive feeling that can push you to achieve more?

I don't like the idea of feeling bad. It is okay if you feel challenged. It can be depressing for others but you have got to be positive and keep grinding.

I am an achiever of sorts and so perhaps others feel that way looking at my achievements.

The thing is that as you are feeling bad for not achieving certain things that your mates are achieving, some other people who are your mates are also feeling bad for not achieving the things that you have achieved.

I think the thing should be feeling challenged not feeling bad or negative. it would help one do better

I won't feel bad at all if my age mate achieved something I haven't. I would try to understand the reason of his/her achievement. What are his/her strengths.

I will always be happy for that person who has achieved their goals. I believe that with dedication and hard work, I will attain nearly similar achievements at some point in the future.

I will not feel jealous on this matter. I would be happy for him instead. Regardless, it will serve as my inspiration to be like him.

I don’t feel bad about that at all. Well, it makes me want to start thinking but I always brace up and have in mind that a day will come when I will also shine

I try my best not to compare myself to others, it's only natural to sometimes feel pangs of envy when friends or peers achieve major milestones that I haven't yet reached myself.

It’s really hard not to try to compare yourself to other people but that’s just the best thing to do. Your only competitor should be yourself. That’s why you gotta keep doing better

Some people may feel very bad but it is a normal thing and one thing you should have in mind that God has a very beautiful plan for you so you just need to focus

I do not feel bad about someone else's achievement. I feel bad when I cannot achieve something that I have been working very hard

I never felt this way. If my partner will achieve more than mine, I would be happy for her. I can do mine in a perfect timing.
