Friends love misery, in fact. Sometimes, especially if we are too lucky or too successful or too pretty, our misery is the only thing that endears us to our friends.

Summary

This quote suggests that friends have a tendency to find comfort or satisfaction in the misfortune or misery of others. It implies that sometimes, when we possess qualities such as luck, success, or beauty, our friends may only appreciate us when we experience negative emotions or setbacks. This can be seen as a reflection of a human tendency to feel a sense of superiority or find solace in the struggles of others, rather than genuinely celebrating their happiness or achievements.
