I think I don’t understand envy. This article makes no sense to me. Maybe I lack the envy gene.
Who do you envy and for what? As in, real envy. Not ‘envy’ as a synonym for ‘admire’. Actually resenting someone for having what you want. nytimes.com/2018/05/04/opi

Otherwise, not so much.

The idea that someone out there is paid to be a professional thinking partner turns me 🤢

I like 's definition of "envy" derived from three basic emotions: desire, pain, pleasure. And envy is pain at another's pleasure. And what you describe maybe part of a further derivative of envy as jealousy.
