I envy the girls in long-term relationships. For some reason that’s never quite worked out for me.
Me too - although I am 32!! I’ve worked so hard for almost 10 years since college now and keep getting screwed by rotten bosses and companies.
Same thing with my personal life - everyone my age is married or getting married, has kids or are having kids. Me? I just got out of a failed 3-year relationship, and before that, it was a failed 9-year relationship.
Those two aforementioned things make my life feel completely unstable. I’m 32 and starting over at square one on both the personal and professional fronts, and it’s quite scary 
Weight. I’m not hugely fat, but I’m pudgy and big-boned, and find it very difficult to lose weight. Most of my friends are slimmer, even if they don’t exercise like I do!
But in everything else I’m very happy.
Same as HazelNutCoffee. I’ve got an education, a house, a car, my own successful business, fantastic credit, a great financial future…
And absolutely no one to share it with. I don’t want kids, I could even live without being married. But I’d at least like to have someone to share my life with!
I’m getting to the point where the “pool” is getting smaller because so many of the other girls my age have married all the guys my age. Or the boys who are “left” are still trying to decide what they want to do when they grow up.
Ah well. At least I’ve got my money.

I envy traditional college students–living in the dorms, going to class at normal hours, partying on the weekends. College looks like FUN for a normal student! But I tried it and it wasn’t for me, so I am having to choose a different path to an education.
Sex lives. I envy that.
Social skills, which are pretty necessary in obtaining a sex life. I observe people in my classes, and I rarely if ever see people randomly starting up conversation with the strangers around them. So where ever it is that people are going to get paired off, it’s somewhere I’m not.
Oh, and guys my age and younger who look their age. I’ll be graduating in less than two months, and there are incoming freshman who look 4 years older than me. That would go along way towards getting female attention.
I suppose I feel the same way. It would be nice not to have to change jobs every few years. OTOH I’ve never been at a job that I was sorry to leave.
Quite frankly, I don’t envy anything about people my age (35). I see my peers mostly either in boring corporate jobs leading dull married lives and slowly getting fatter or bitter and lonely because they aren’t married.
I’m more envious of the early 20-somethings at work. I kind of miss being excited about my first job (at least for the first 6 months), not having any responsibilities more important than where to go for happy hour on Fri. But then I look at my paycheck.
Friends. 
I’m 22 and I don’t have any friends (excluding Mr J and three online/out of town friends). Zero. I’m an introverted loner. I hate it.
Their tiny, tiny bodies. And the fact that they can find so much free time to go to the gym.
Pretty boobs. I have NEVER had nice ones! When I was younger, I had nothing, not even an A-cup. When they decided to grow, it was because I was pregnant. This means that gravity has taken over. Completely. I’m 27 and have the breasts of a sixty-year-old. eeeew
Apologies to any eldery ladies I may have offended.
Nothing.
I am exactly who I need to be at this moment, and where I need to be.
It wouldn’t occur to me to look at another guy my age and say “I need to be more like him.”
Cite? 
Heh, I shoulda seen that one coming. Trust me, you want to take my word for it.
Social skills, sex life, proper relationship, a decent home, the works. Somehow the plan I had when I was a kid for how my life was going to be, well it just didn’t end up looking like this.
I am most jealous of the people my age who followed their passions. They are working as stage hands, actors, treasure hunters, etc. and every day they go to work they make shit money but they love what they do. My overly logical brain and Type A personality make it impossible for me to do what I love without a security net so I am working in a boring, pencil pushing environment trying to live out my passions in my spare time. Which I have none of because between work and the time I spend commuting I have about 1 hour a day in which to do anything. Stupid paranoia about living in the gutter stopping me from leading a fulfilling life! 
I’m another who envies people my age with established careers. I’m going to be thirty this year and I still have no idea what I want to do. I have a degree and I am working in that field, but I don’t feel like I’m going anywhere.
I also envy those with good solid romantic relationships. I can’t even find someone I want a second date with.
Ah, well, at least I have good hair.
Another career envier. I’m 30 and I’d love to know what it feels like NOT to loathe your job.
On the career front: I don’t really envy people for having good careers, I envy the people who always seemed to know what they wanted and planned for it. I’m not exactly a *complete *schlub, but when I graduated from college I ended up moving in with my parents and working in a bookstore for a year and a half because I couldn’t figure out what I really wanted to be doing.
Now I do, and I’m working on it, but I’ll be 31 when I finish grad school. If I had know what I had wanted to do say, ten years ago when I was a sophomore in college, I’d be there already!
I try not to dwell on this because it’s pointless. Also, I made some good friends and had some good experiences along the way.
Mid-40’s. I don’t quite have a wife, kids or house. Also, I’ve read pamphlets about something called a “sex life,” but I’m not convinced such a thing exists.
