Happy Jealous

I am a mean evil bitch at times.  But I also think that I can be a really good friend as well.

Until I get a case of happy jealous.

Do you know what I am talking? Let me explain.

Friend A just (insert item or life experience that I want here).  I am very very happy for my friend, truly.  But I am also jealous. I want the thing the have, the life they lead, the job they do or travel they have done. I then spiral for all of about 5 minutes on how my life could have been if it was just like theirs instead of mine.

Then after a pause it's over.

It's really weird and it's not something that you share with your friends ever because how you would feel if this happened.

"Hey Mouse, guess what we are having a baby!"
"Wow that's great. I am so happy for you, but I am incredibly jealous, I wish I was having a kid instead."

What the?!?! Who would say that out loud. Definitely not me....out loud. 

I do have one friend that I have explained the whole concept of happy jealous too and she totally agrees.  Fantastic! I'm not the only self-centred sicko in the world.  "I am so happy for you, well happy jealous"

Now you are really going to hate me.

Because not only do I get happy jealous, but having friends that are happy jealous of me, is one of the greatest feelings ever...
