Can envy be a personality trait?

Question

Can envy be a personality trait?

Answer 1

Yes, meaning you get jealous easily.

Answer 2

it is considered a negative trait.  Though most people have at least a touch of it.  If you continuously realize your own potential, you won't have time to be envious of others.  When you are not doing what you can do in your own life, you are more apt to be envious.

Answer 3

It is rare that I am myself, if at all and have observed on several occasions, a varied degree of it in various people. Usually success or skills seem to be very, very highly envied.

Answer 4

Envy is a condition existing for a reason.  What allows it?  I am learning that it is a lack of self-acceptance, which, is available to us all, no credentials required, no money required, no physical beauty required.  isn't it great?   There is something there, be kind to you and locate it so you can purge it and be free.  

Or, maybe it isn't you you are talking about, lol!
