Bittersweet Arrival
While almost any birth order has pros and cons, being an only child has many advantages! And while others delight in welcoming a newborn in town, sometimes it can be a moment of realizing we are not the only favorite ones.
According to Family Lives, it is normal for a child to experience jealousy at some point when a new brother or sister arrives. However, that feeling would only last for a moment. That's especially true when the parent addresses the concern. We can assume he would enjoy being big brother, though, with that smirk.
Girls Support Girls, Still
The moment this photo got on the Internet, theories popped up here and there. Of course, it's Italian Oscar-winning actress Sophia Loren side by side with fellow actress Jayne Mansfield. It might look like she's eyeing something that passed as to why we included them on this list, but Loren spoke about this iconic moment.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she explained that jealousy is not present at all. She was just frightened that Mansfield's dress would spill all over the table. Indeed, there's a lot of story behind an image, and we're happy to conclude a women empowerment moment here.
Sucks To Be The Third Wheel
Sure, spending time with friends is a good idea for most people. But what does it look like when your friends are a couple who seem to be madly in love? The guy in the photo says it all. There might be a hint of envy and displease.
Even Washington Post wrote that most people hate being the third wheel. It can get us thinking if we should leave them alone or sulk in the fact that we have no one to bond like that with? Either way, we hope they had a good time as a trio for most of the day.
Queens Flexing Their Crowns
Two of the music industry's largest figures are enough to make this photo an iconic one. However, what made it even more iconic was their expressions. Rihanna used her tall girl advantage to peep at something precious from Nicki.
Whatever it is, these two girls have no room for envy in their blood. Nicki Minaj is known as the Queen of Rap, while Rihanna is often referred to as the Queen of Pop. Plus, both of their careers are booming with multiple releases, sales, awards, and collaborations. Their success is much evident, and they have no time for drama!
Out Of My League
They said there are two types of girls, those who love to go out and party and those who prefer to watch movies in their pajamas. This photo gives us a glimpse of both. It can be amusing to think how they convinced their friend to go out and enjoy a drink.
Nevertheless, a bigger issue lies in the fact that she did not look as prepared, both in style and for the camera! They could have given her time to pose for the perfect shot and make it look like she was really enjoying the craze. Well, we hope she had a good time for the rest of the night.
Sisters Makes For The Best Of Friends
Three sisters are believed to make a very good bond, as sisters and best friends! However, it seems like the middle child in the picture is still balancing her feelings for their newborn. It can look cute and worrying, but that's pretty normal!
As Mayo Clinic reported, older children cannot handle and display their emotions right away when a new sibling is born. They can act jealous and attention-seeking. However, this moment does not last for a long time, especially when a parent works on it. We hope they grow up close and look back on this epic pictorial someday.
Friendship Over?
This simple photo can make us come up with an interesting storyline. All of them are having a good time at a cosplay event and bump into each other. Brother number one spotted the cute cosplayer and wanted to hang out. So, brother number two volunteered to bridge them and act as the wingman.
However, things took a messy turn when the cosplayer girl became more interested in brother number two instead! By the looks of brother number one, he is clearly not pleased with the situation. We hope they figure it out soon before things mess their friendship over!
More Than Starstruck
Getting starstruck when we meet our celebrity idols is a predictable scenario. Yet, this woman surpassed the starstruck vibe as she actually looked through Katy Perry's overall identity. We cannot blame her, though. Whether we are a fan or not, we have to admit that Perry is such a stunning star.
With those pretty faces, bright smiles, perfectly-curated outfits, and attention from the world, it's hard not to stare and appreciate. Let's just make sure not to envy them because their lives are different from ours, and we know we are beautiful just the way we are.
Happy For You Sis, But Where's Mine?
One of the most genuine moments in Hollywood; it's not every day that we see these four stars seated next to each other at a basketball game. Tom Hanks and Christopher McDonald look like proud dads to the newly engaged couple Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis as they were examining the engagement ring.
However, another amusing moment captured here is the woman behind them, who bore a sweet and sour smile. It's as if we could hear her say congratulations, wondering when she'd get hers. Well, we believe she has her own prince charming to give it at the right time.
I Said This Is My Moment!
Well, kids are kids. If we know anything about them, they love celebrating their birthdays and hate when others blow their birthday candles. Sometimes, they can even act like little brats too! That is pretty normal, and we can see it in this photo.
The sister knows beforehand that her younger sibling had an interest in blowing the candle too. To avoid such, she covered her little sister's mouth ahead to secure a peaceful wish making and candle blowing. As Greater Good stated, we should let kids star in their moments and teach them to respect others' shining times. For sure, it is a value to be upheld until adulthood.
How About Me?
It is wonderful to own two of the most loyal yet competitive home pets, a cat and a dog. While we know we love them both, one can actually get hurt if they see us cuddling the other more. In this photo, it's very clear who is in the position of getting jealous.
According to Catological Blog, cats can get incredibly envious when their owners are being more attentive to other pets, especially when it's a dog! When a similar situation arises, they crave more attention and can get clingier, which probably explains the cat's pleading expression.
Good Things Come To Those Who Bait
Many consider fishing a recreational activity. However, there is more to it than just getting relaxed because engaging in it means you get a satisfying meal after! Yet from these two guys, it looked like the one who caught a salmon had a greater time on the baiting side.
After all, the salmon could feed a whole community, whereas the other fish does not even constitute one meal. Well, at least he got one, and now he knows better, so better luck next time, brother. Maybe you can share a piece of salmon with him in the meantime.
I'm Still The First Baby
The little girl looks pleased with the new baby in the family and even initiated a cute pet picture. While the dog obediently participated, he didn't look pleased at all. We can see the face of jealousy across its face, and we cannot blame him as the kitten is cute enough to invade the territory.
The Guardian noted that dogs get jealous similar to humans. They get clingy and seek attention, crowd space, do tricks, and initiate fights. We hope they get along well someday, as they are treated as one family under one roof.
Not So Harmonious
The famous girl group Fifth Harmony calls their fans the Harmonizers. While the fandom promotes peace and harmony, it seems like this photo speaks otherwise. We can see the not-so-amused expression of Camila Cabello as her bandmate Lauren Jauregui interacted with a male fan.
Fifth Harmony is a five-member group and was once named the biggest girl group by Billboard during its peak in the mid-'00s. However, things shifted as Cabello left the group in 2016. Not too soon, the group took a break in 2018 and has pursued solo endeavors since then. Harmonizers still pop up every now and then, though.
Will Be Right Back On My Birthday
Most restaurants offer free food and special discounts when customers celebrate a birthday. The most common tradition is giving a special piece of cake with a candle on top and singing a "Happy Birthday" song. That is a sweet and touching gesture, with a little marketing tactic on the side.
While the birthday boy is enjoying the time of his life, the girl on the other table is targeting his special cake. She is probably contemplating where to find that on the menu. Well, maybe the better idea is to come back on her birthday so she'll get the full delight for free!
Get A Dog, Dude
It is quite tricky to get women interested in men, especially when there is more than one in a room. They can do tricks and whatnots, but the other dude knew exactly what would work. He brought with him a cute puppy, and it drew adorable attention from the ladies.
The other guy was too stunned to speak and just stood there in disbelief. Maybe he was wondering how he was defeated with just that, yet he cannot also deny the adorable puppy. A study at Florida State University concluded that men exhibit social dominance against each other, thus explaining their competitive behavior.
Prevention Is Better Than Cure
We can catch many hilarious moments on the street, and this photo was captured just in time! We can say the couple is having some fun, although the girlfriend is covering her boyfriend's eyes. However, the action says a lot about the intention too.
As Healthy Way suggested, women get more jealous than males. This emotion can spring out from many factors such as confidence and self-esteem. However, the happy couple just treated it as a joke. For sure, their humor is one essential key that kept their relationship strong even amid distractions!
You're Forever A Legend, Leo
Hollywood legend Leonardo DiCaprio is among the most awarded and highest-earning actors of all time. He has starred in numerous blockbuster hits like "Titanic" and "Inception." His films have grossed over $7.2 billion worldwide. With a career like that, he still hoped for one thing and had shown moments of weakness onscreen.
This moment was caught at the 2014 Oscars. He was hoping to bring home the Best Actor award, but it ended up going to his co-star Matthew McConaughey. He might felt sad for himself, but he was happy for Matthew, still. There's nothing to sulk afterward, though, as he eventually got the title in 2016!
Still An Ongoing Debate
Both popsicles and ice creams are key ingredients in making our days cooler and brighter. Yet there is an ongoing debate concerning these two, as people still argue which tastes better. While that can fall under subjective judgment, the male child in this photo is caught in a dilemma.
He is grateful to have that popsicle but soon realizes the ice cream would have tasted better. Guess he's standing in the middle of two options. However, Slime and Lite Blog revealed a fact that would boost popsicle stans. Popsicles tend to be healthier because they have lower fat than ice creams.
Guess It's Playtime Already, Hooman?
There's no hiding that we get busy with work and school stuff. Sometimes, it gets too much to the point when we have to face nothing but our computers and all that comes with them. Yet, if we are pet owners, we should also be aware of how our routines affect them. As said by Purina, pets never give up until they get the attention they need.
Especially if it is a dog, as they are highly social creatures. Like us, they need interaction and a bond. Apart from playing, maybe they also want us to take a break and refresh ourselves. That's our best buddies, remember?
That Crown Would Look Good On Me, Too
First and foremost, pageants are competition, and results affect everyone. It just happened that the girl on the left landed a runner-up role, so close to victory. She stood there clapping while bearing the images on her mind, detailing that she would look good with that crown too!
However, the purpose of pageants is for women's empowerment. It aims to give girls a safe space to showcase their intelligence, style, and leadership. It must have been hard to be in an almost position, but what mattered was that she was able to express her beauty and wit. That alone deserves recognition.
Bow Down To The Master
Going to the gym involves consistency, and this guy on the black shirt represented what it's like to really be consistent. However, the other guy in the gray shirt looks jealous, but more like scary. It was like a higher being was presented right in your face and made you realize what you lacked.
There's no need to sulk, though, as New York Times confirmed that everyone has their own body type and adheres to a different routine. Some people can even gain muscle but not much strength, while others can gain strength but not much size. Maybe it's a moment to appreciate others without looking down on ourselves.
Shout-out To My Ex
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were once a favorite couple in Hollywood. This moment captured during the 2011 MTV Movie Awards after-party was the first time they went officially together in public. Being a new couple, it was normal for Aniston to keep an eye on her lover.
Forward to 2018, when the couple called it quits. While it broke the hearts of many fans, they assured them they would remain friends. Indeed, Aniston gave a quick shout-out to Theroux on her Instagram story in 2021. She shared a photo of him and his dog, who volunteered at a charity event.
From Reel To Real?
One of the most remembered photos in the history of "Modern Family" was the serious side-eye of Sophia Loren at Jayne Mansfield during a Hollywood party. Over 57 years after, stars of the soap opera Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara recreated the image.
For sure, they were having fun channeling the energy of the two opposing roles. More than that, they did satisfactorily to the point that the emotions even looked real! Well, that's how actors do it, and "Modern Family" wouldn't be such a hit without excellent characters and actresses.
Don't Let Him Take My Spot
One of the most common rivalries in this list is the unending rage between a cat and a dog. Only that in this list, their competition is silent, yet their eyes bear a lot of emotions. Let us look at this cat trying hard to conceal herself against the wall while eyeing the newly bought pet dog.
If only the cat could speak, we could hear her murmurs about how the dog is slowly taking her place. According to The Spruce Pets, cats tend to mark a new pet's territory when they are envious. Enough said; all we hope is they find their way to friendship someday.
Shameful Publicity Is Still Publicity, Plus Marketing Strategy
The 2013 MTV Movie Awards was special, more specifically for actress Aubrey Plaza who jumped on stage after Will Ferrell received his Comedic Genius award. She stood there with fancy accessories, held the trophy, and looked Ferrell straight in the eye.
Of course, everyone noticed, and they were all confused! Even Ferrell waited for her to say something, but came nothing. It got her kicked out of the ceremony. Yet, the stance made people talk about her upcoming film at that time titled "The To Do List." Was it an honest mistake or shameful publicity for a marketing strategy?
You Think You'll Be Happier With Him?
A study in Psychological Science concluded that dogs often get jealous. They will even go far, such as hitting their rival when they sense their owner's greater affection for it. This study was proven to us by this Golden Retriever whose affection and jealousy were tested by his owner.
In the beginning, the dog looked straight into his owner's eyes as if saying he was being replaced and that they looked happier together. After a few seconds, he jumped over the stuffed toy and realized it was a non-worthy competition. The owner shared the video online, and it trended quickly.
Mom, Dad, I Am Here!
Newborns are among the cutest beings to exist! One of the moments they look incredibly adorable is when they get jealous of their moms and dads showing affection to each other, like this baby boy who looked displeased with his folks' display of affection. We know he loves them dearly, but it's pretty normal to have this reaction.
Infants' brains are not yet developed enough to grasp the idea that they are not the center of attention all the time and that people around them can express the same affection too. This photo bears more cuteness than envy, though.
Look What You Made Me Do
Almost all Hollywood and music fans know about the famous feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West. Since Kanye's little stunt against Taylor at the 2009 VMAs, they have been in tabloids for several issues. This photo in the Grammys 2015 might be one of the moments they got along during an awards show.
Alongside Kanye West is partner Kim Kardashian who looked unsure about how to react. She was probably thinking about whether that moment could clear the air once and for all. It turned out that their problems continued, and Swift released multiple songs about their feud, including "Look What You Made Me Do."
Wait For Me, Cheeseburger
Little children can be a combination of annoying and funny because they always seem to want what they don't have. May it be a toy or a yummy cheeseburger! Like the kid in this photo, we cannot hear him, but his face sends a clear message: he wants what his sister has.
We cannot blame him, though; that cheeseburger looks pretty good. Maybe he would have to wait for a little while until he is old enough to have the right to order such. Little kids are advised to eat smaller doses of fast food recipes, so wait for your turn, kiddo.
