For those that are attracted to the people that they want to look like. For example, you want to be muscular and large, while also simultaneously you get crushes on people that fit the mold of what you yourself want to look like. It's specifically gay envy as it's usually crushes for the same sex.

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.

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.

Runner: Mmm hmm.
