Maybe this is a sign that you need to develop relationships and hobbies that take place on the weekend. Clubs, classes, meetups, or even just going for a walk and saying hello to the people who pass by.

This feeling should motivate you to seek out the things you're envious of - not get caught up in the envy itself and worry about that. That's a little like being on fire and being more concerned with describing the burning sensation than actually putting the fire out.

Pain should be motivation. I see a lot of people on this board who seem to think that pain has some merit in and of itself, like if they're enduring something ******, they're somehow doing well. They're not. They're wasting their time and they're getting burned in the process. If they keep getting burned, one day that scar tissue will be permanent. But if people want to keep choosing pain, there's nothing anyone can do to stop them.

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with envy, unless you choose to wallow in it rather than use it as what it is - a sign of what you want, and the urgency to actually seek it out.
