Invidia is not a childish ‘I want what you have’. It is the pain of believing that you will never get there yourself. Envy arises when you see too few opportunities, too little control or too little hope.

This category is about soberly examining comparisons: moments when others had something that you yourself lacked — stability, health, closeness, recognition, energy.

Invidia shows where frustration and sadness converge. Envy is an indication that an unfulfilled need exists.
These contributions highlight situations in which you experienced yourself as ‘less’ — not objectively, but subjectively. The texts do not focus on others, but on one's own experiences of deficiency.

Invidia shows that envy is often sadness in another form.

I am working on this because, for me, envy is less about resentment and more about self-doubt. It shows me exactly where I make myself smaller than I am. I no longer want to ignore these areas.
