This may just be a matter of perspective. For ex. I don't have any millionaire friends or family, though plenty are much more successful than myself. Millionaires and successful people will exist whether or not you're friends with them, but while they're in your circle, consider their invitations their way of sharing the wealth? Something not everyone has access to. They chose you, they value you. Consider these successful people are also resources. Imagine you need help finding a job, networking, potentially even a bailout. Seems like a great place to start. Being happy for others is not an obligation. The only person you need to be happy for is yourself. You don't need to subject yourself to their flexing, peacocking, or keeping-up-with-the-jonses. That being said, envy is not easy to deal with. Your friends might be the catalyst, but envy is generally fueled by some other underlying insecurity. ex. you care what other people think of you, you think you'll be judged by your wealth. You'll need to self-reflect on what that is exactly.
