1 answer

The feeling of wanting something that your friend has or is craving for can be described as "envy" or "covetousness." If it's a more lighthearted or playful desire, you might refer to it as "vicarious craving" or simply "craving by association." This phenomenon can happen when you see a friend enjoying something (like food or an experience) and start to desire it for yourself.
