A sense of unease that arises when another person in your circle appears more progressive, inclusive and ostentatiously virtuous than you. The endgame of virtue signaling.
Sally: "Human Resources gave us rainbow stickers to put on our folders, but Bob put his on his office door to signal his total inclusiveness. I wish I'd thought of that first!"
Martin: "You've got a bad case of virtue envy."

Stinging ping of failure that the bands from the 90's Wave of "Lookout! Records" Pop Punk bands express, at their loss of fame, compared to the success of acts like Green Day and Rancid, while continuing to propagate the facade that they are legitimate and valid "rock stars".
While watching the Trump rally today on FOX, Green Day came on during a Pepsi commercial, and Ben spent the rest of the day pining with "Lookout Envy.""

She looked at her long silky hair naturally blonde hair and wished she were herself were blonde. she had Blonde Envy
The yearning for a noble cause to fight for, resulting from growing up in a generation spoiled by first-world luxuries, and thus filling the absence of real existential threats and social injustices with imagined ones, typically naming them after history's most notorious evils, racism and Nazism, and desperately trying to identify oneself with the same righteousness as those who fought actual evil.
Antifa hooligans like to pretend they're revolutionaries, but really they're just spoiled brats with valor envy.

The phenomenon that outdoor runners may experience wherein one runner, while tackling a particularly daunting incline, crosses paths with a runner enjoying the downhill while traveling in the opposite direction. The uphill runner might inwardly direct strong feelings of jealousy toward the downhill runner's good fortune that can only come during the exhaustion and red-faced all-out effort of a literal uphill battle. This is downhill envy. In special circumstances, such as those in which the downhill runner offers audible or visual expressions of encouragement or solidarity, downhill envy may even manifest in the uphill runner's outward utterance of disdain at the downhill runner's perceived condescension.

Friend: Hey, how was your run?
Runner: I've had better. I was trying to haul ass up this one particularly vicious incline, but it was a serious struggle. What made it worse was this guy happily bounding down the hill in the opposite direction.
Friend: Damn. Downhill envy.
Runner: Mmm hmm.
