I think it's perfectly normal to on one hand feel happy for friends and family and their successes and at the same time feel bad that you're not successful (yet) in the same areas. I feel the same way often. I think it also clouds what we're actually successful at. And in your case, it's still being a kind, caring person despite all of this. Because I know that I've mostly become a bitter, angry person because of others' successes in areas that I fail at...so it says volumes about your character that you haven't become that way.
