OF ... you are jealous OF your friend. And, unless you are planning to burn down his house or torture him with your evil weapons because you definetely can't stand his success, don't worry... you are fine ! Ask yourself if you are taking that event as a comment on your skills... that's, normally what happens. And keep this in mind : everyone gets a little jealous sometimes, and you don't have to necessary kick your butt around the corner because of that... you could choose to use your jealousy in a good and productive way, maybe starting a healthy competition, which will test you and your abilities if that's what you need; otherwise, just move on, focus on you and be happy with what you have while, of course, you keep pursuing your dreams ^_-

Correction: Is it normal to be jealous of your friend? Jealousy is a normal human emotion, so my answer is yes.

Actually one shouldn't be jealous from anyone, if someone has a better qualification or job, he or she might have worked hard than you can also achieve that by doing so. But sometime if it does happen and you are really good friends, the jealously would be temporary, you don't need to say anything just give yourself some time and the jealously will run at 300miles/hrs of speed:))

Oh,don't be too worried.In this case,i think it's a normal feeling! A close friend does not mean just a friend cos he/she is also our good teacher in our life...We can have a little bit sad when our friend get bigger success than us,but maybe it's not because we're jealous...it's because we didn't do our best or whatever the reasons may be.Well,and thus it mean we need think again and collect experience from ourselves and even from our dear friend! It's better to do right then...individual belief...i think so^^~ Keep your beautiful friendship and i think you'll love your close friend more,right!?:)

Being jealous of your friend is actually really normal, as long as you don't take it out on the person the wrong way and tell them that you feel jealous there's really no reason for that person to get mad. Make sure you approach them in a good way and clearly tell them how you feel and why.
