How does proximity breed envy?

Jordan Harbinger discusses how proximity and similarity can foster envy, using a vivid example from the realm of exotic dancing. He explains that the proximity of a dancer to other types of sex workers, though their jobs are fundamentally different, breeds envy. This example illustrates a broader psychological pattern where people tend to envy those who are in close proximity, even if their actual circumstances differ significantly. The implication is that proximity can make the lives of others appear more desirable, despite different lifestyles or challenges 1.
