One character, or group, sees another character or group as better off...but then they and/or the audience discover that those they envy are actually just as jealous of them (or perhaps even more so). Basically, this is for when envy is portrayed as a two-way street. This at times is needed to give some perspective to characters who need it. Often the setup for a "Freaky Friday" Flip or a Prince and Pauper plot, and may end up in a Perspective Reversal. Can sometimes be found in The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry. Compare Be Careful What You Wish For, which often has a similar basis and reasoning and is sometimes found in the same works. See also Grass Is Greener. |

In The Black Sheep Dog Series, both Sirius and Regulus believes that their parents favour the other sibling over themselves. Sirius hates being the Black family's heir, and wishes that his parents would just leave him alone than try to force him fit into their traditions and narro worldviews. Meanwhile, Regulus is The Dutiful Son, so his parents usually don't pay any mind to him because they know that he'll do what is expected of him, and he resents his brother because he hogs all their attention. | |

Chihayafuru: Taichi is explicitly envious of Arata due to his incredible talent for karuta and Chihaya's admiration of him. While much less explicit, it's also implied that Arata is envious of Taichi's wealth and all-around success (being good-looking, charming, popular, and very intelligent). Given that he genuinely believed he and Chihaya were dating in one episode, he is likely also jealous that they can spend so much time together while he is in a totally different prefecture and can generally only meet up for tournaments. | |

Sora and Riku admit to this at the end of Kingdom Hearts II. The first game already established that Riku was Sora's Always Someone Better growing up, but it's here that Riku confesses he was equally jealous of Sora's carefree attitude. They conclude that they both have something the other could never imitate: "having you for a friend." | |

DC Animated Universe: The Batman/Superman Adventures episode "Girls' Night Out" dealt with Livewire escaping to Gotham City and Supergirl helping Batgirl when Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn join Livewire. Kara likes the energy and excitement of Gotham, while Barbara thinks the fresh air of Smallville with none of the night work or Gotham's big-city congestion is fine for her. This leads them to being Fire-Forged Friends, which carries over into Justice League, where "Comfort And Joy" have it where Barbara invited Kara to go skiing with her. In the Justice League episode "Metamorphosis" has John Stewart see his former Marine buddy, Rex Mason, has it nice: After John promises Sapphire Stagg he'll bring Rex home safe, we get this exchange: A villanous version between Mister Freeze and Grant Walker in the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Deep Freeze". |

Sword of Paladin: It's obvious from the start that Nade has an inferiority complex towards Alex, who is stronger than him as a swordsman. Alex reveals that he was jealous of Nade for being able to grow up with a loving family while his own family was either killed or brainwashed. He later becomes jealous of Nade being the one to finish off Berienstahl. Unfortunately, Ragnarek exploits this envy to take control of Alex. | |

In Tower of God, Princess Endorsi Jahad is jealous of how devoted Bam is to Rachel and would gladly give up her princess privileges, which were pretty much forced on her, to be with him. On the opposite side, Rachel wants to be special and is jealous of Endorsi for being a beautiful princess like a fairy tale heroine, while her feelings towards Bam are mixed at best and consist mostly of envy. | |

In Discworld, vampires and werewolves are jealous of each other. The antagonism is said to come from the fact that werewolves are jealous of vampires being thought of as suave and sophisticatednote being in the presence of a vampire makes a werewolf feel like it's having a bad hair day, and when a werewolf has a bad hair day it's really bad, while vampires are jealous of werewolves being able to fit more easily into human society (when in human form, obviously). | |

Casey wishes that she had the time and gear to be a professional figure skater like Gen is training to be. Gen thinks it would be great to have more time to really learn the subjects in their classes and spend time with her boyfriend instead of practicing all the time. She also wouldn't mind saying goodbye to the low calorie diet her skating career requires. | |

The Big Bang Theory: Sheldon and Leonard, both brilliant scientists, envy the childhoods that the other had with their moms. Sheldon's mom is too much of a religious nut for his taste (he still loves her nonetheless) and he envies the Leonard's mother is rational, logical and a brilliant scientist herself. However, Leonard's mom is extremely cold and emotionally abusive, and Leonard's envious of how Sheldon's mother is much more caring, understanding and sweet-natured. |

Ayakashi Triangle: After Matsuri spends most of the series disliking that he was turned into a girl, he ends up being split into a boy and a girl. Somehow, neither is happy with this. Girl Matsuri still wants to be a boy, which she still thinks is a prerequisite to dating Suzu. However, Boy Matsuri deduces Suzu actually likes his female self better—so much he wonder if he'd have been better off staying a girl. | |

Sam Holt: Envy might be a strong word, but Sam's friend and fellow actor Brett Burgess (who does lots of guest star and bit character stuff) is disappointed that he's never had a big role with a steady paycheck and a lot of fame to it. Sam appreciates how Brett feels, but resents how he suffers from Typecasting that keeps him from getting hired for any new and different rules, while Brett is still an active actor and gets to play a variety of different characters. | |

In Tolkien's Legendarium, Elves and Humans envy each other. Humans are mortal and die after a comparatively short time, and their souls have to leave the World after they die, so they envy the Elves' "immortality". The Ageless Elves, who very slowly get tired of living but can't die of old age and certainly can't leave the World dead or alive, know that they're all going to remain when it comes to an end. They envy Humans for being able to leave when we get "weary", and for having the option to keep existing after the end of Time. Elves call death a "Gift", which can rub mortals the wrong way. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Zuko and Azula have a really tragic case of this. Their father Ozai favored Azula for being a Child Prodigy and disregarded Zuko for being kindhearted, while with their mother Ursa it was the other way around- albeit that unlike Ozai, Ursa didn't do this on purpose, she just felt like Zuko needed her protection more because Azula already had friends and parental approval. By the present, Zuko is a villain in a desperate attempt to get his father to acknowledge him, and while Azula acts smug, deep down she's deeply insecure over her belief that Ursa thought she was a monster and resents Zuko because Ursa loved him. | |

Eventually, she learns that Amber resents her as well, feeling that Chloe actually got the better end of the deal — not only does she have a more stable lifestyle, being their mother's 'favored child' isn't as cushy as it sounds, especially since Audrey is just as cruelly critical of Amber as she is of Chloe. But in Amber's case, she has far more control over the poor girl's... everything. | |

It's later revealed the protagonist has developed impostor syndrome over being a civilian forced into the conflict and one of their fears shown while in a magic Psychological Torment Zone is being replaced by Kadoc since he's a proper mage with more technical experience, envying him being a better mage. | |

The song "Wouldn't It Be Good?" by Nik Kershaw is about this, written from the perspectives of two people who seem to have a bit of a Red Oni, Blue Oni dynamic. One verse of the song talks about how "the cold is biting / through each and every nerve and fiber / my broken spirit is frozen to the core". The next verse responds with "you must be joking", saying that "the heat is stifling / burning me up from the inside". Both verses are followed by a refrain that laments "wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes?" and "wouldn't it be good to be on your side?", providing a Meaningful Echo that reinforces the song's narrative. | |

Accel World: This happens in the first volume between Haru's childhood friend Chiyuri and Kuroyukihime, who introduced him to Brain Burst. Chiyu envies Kuroyukihime for doing more to help Haru in the space of a few days than she could do in the course of the past few months, having felt helpless as Haruyuki was bullied and distanced himself from her and Taku, and being unhappy that Haru seemingly doesn't have an equal relationship with his benefactor. Kuroyukihime becomes jealous over how Haru is much more familiar with Chiyu, and seemingly takes Chiyu's side in an argument over whether Chiyu is Cyan Pilenote Haru's right, and this jealousy helps Kuroyukihime realize that she's in love with Haru. Later on, it's also revealed that this is true between Haru and Taku. Considering that Taku has almost everything that Haru doesn't- he's good at school, a star kendo athlete and popular- it's not surprising that Haru would envy Taku, but what would Haru have that Taku envies? The answer is that Haru and Taku are both similarly capable of depression and self-loathing, but unlike Taku, Haru is more resilient and more able to deal with those feelings in a way that isn't self-destructive. |

Fruits Basket: Both Yuki and Kyo envy each other's circumstances and personalities. Kyo wants to be acknowledged by the Sohma main house as part of the Eastern Zodiac, so he envies Yuki who, being the Rat, gets a privileged place over Kyo and even the other members of the Zodiac. Yuki on the other hand has always been in a Gilded Cage, keeps people at arm's length due to turning into a rat if a girl hugs him, and doesn't have any real friends, so he envies Kyo's personality, outgoing nature, and ability to bond more easily with others. | |

A Bride's Story: Village Tomboy Pariya envies the village's most admirable young maiden Kamola for her sweet nature, kindness, intelligence and femininity, and stalks her around trying to learn by copying her example, accidentally giving Kamola the impression that she's upset Pariya somehow. When they sit down to talk the misunderstanding out and Pariya admits her jealousy, Kamola herself admits that she actually envies Pariya's straightforward bluntness and ability to say what she's thinking without fear. Pariya's friend Amir suggests that since it's more mutual admiration than envy, the two should become friends in the hope that they both influence each other, so they do. | |

Little Witch Academia (2017): One of the biggest reasons why Akko disliked Diana for most of the series was out of envy towards her for being everything she isn't (being a rich and popular student who is skillful at magic). In "Yesterday" however, Diana reveals to Akko during a heart-to-heart that she was similarly envious towards her, due to her being chosen to wield the Shiny Rod and unlock the Grand Triskelion, something that Diana had hoped to do to do since she was a child, as well as being able to openly express herself and her passions, something she feels she can't do due to having to uphold her family's traditions and the expectations that come with being a member of the Cavendish family. In fact, she admits that it was that envy that partially drove her to leave Luna Nova a few episodes back. | |

Encanto: Mirabel and Isabela's conflict boils down to this. In a classic case of miscommunication between the golden sibling and the one in their shadow, Mirabel resents Isabela for her seemingly effortless perfection and cool gift while Mirabel is powerless and feels like an outsider, but Isabel resents Mirabel because, being giftless, Mirabel isn't subject to Alma's strict expectations about giving back to the community and is free to do what she wants while Isabel is constantly pressured to be what her parents expect. The sisters end up clearing the air in the song "What Else Can I Do?" and hugging it out (fulfilling Bruno's vision). | |

Yuri is My Job!: Hime's two real friends are Mitsuki and Kanoko. Mitsuki is Hime's old friend from elementary school, but she had a falling out with Hime and only became close with her again at the start of high school, while Kanoko has been friends with Hime since middle school. Since Kanoko values her status as Hime's Only Friend, and Mitsuki wants to be Hime's "number one," both are rather jealous of each other, even if neither is aware of how the other feels. | |

Frasier: A key factor in the Sibling Rivalry between Frasier and Niles is this. Frasier is jealous that Niles is a successful psychiatrist in academic circles while his radio show is seen as more of a watered-down sideshow, and Niles hates that Frasier is a celebrity, is more approachable and likeable socially, and took time to marry and have a child while Niles was still struggling to catch up. This resentment led to several arguments and even a wrestling match in the early seasons of the show, but as Character Development went on, Frasier became mellower and more humble (a little, at least) and Niles gained more courage and self-confidence, strengthening the two brothers' relationship. | |

Mob and Ritsu of Mob Psycho 100 are a pair of Yin and Yang brothers who were born extremely gifted in areas they could not care less about—Mob won the Superpower Lottery but finds his psychic abilities useless in his daily life, whereas Ritsu was born with looks, brains, and athleticism that further stress out an insanely powerful esper brother with unpredictable Psychoactive Powers. Thus, Mob openly wishes he could be more like Ritsu, while Ritsu quietly, desperately craves psychic powers to rival (and thus protect himself) from his brother's own. | |
