I envy you
A lie you tell yourself so you don't have to admit you're a failure.
My coworker said, 'I envy you,' when I got a better office and he still sits by the printer.
My neighbor said, 'I envy you,' after I moved out and he's still stuck in his messy house.
My brother said, 'I envy you,' when I got a new car and he still drives his 2005 Toyota.
