Maya Envy

The sudden possessive urge for a man (or woman) who is displaying attention or feelings to the object of their affection. This envy stems from wanting to receive similar attention.

Thursday, a man admired for his steadfastness, courage, and chivalry waved his hand to bid farewell to the friends he would be separated from, but one stood out most.

“Bye, Maya.” he called her by name, and his voice carried the sentiment of the days they shared.

With bittersweet joy displayed in her eyes, Maya waved back and said, “alright, thank you.”

And we watching the exchange wished Thursday would call our names too… we were all filled with Maya Envy.

Food envy

A German expression (Futterneid) describing the behaviour of persons who hoard food or are unwilling to share food with others.

Didn’t your brother just take that platter of food to his room?

Yes, but I rescued it. I might want to eat some more later. It’s my food envy.

Cloud Envy

Cloud envy is self explanatory; being envious of the clouds and truly wanting to flow, and be free, just like them. This phrase is used by Shikamaru from Naruto in the Chunin Exams where he is stressed out and looks to the sky with cloud envy wishing his life was easy and that he could just go with the flow without a care in the world.

Person 1: Ugh i'm so stressed rn, I wish i could just let everything go.

Person 2: Sounds like you got cloud envy my guy.

Meeting envy

When you are feeling like a useless insignificant Smurf at work and feel pangs of jealous anxiety when co-workers discuss the interesting or seemingly important things they have been doing. Especially if they are talking about all the meetings they’ve been in lately that you weren’t invited to.

Jonah had meeting envy when his co-worker Rhea texted that she was in a meeting- but he wasn’t. Little did he know Rhea had meeting envy listening to several of her co-workers and superiors who were in the meeting discuss all the meetings they had had recently.
