I respect your consciousness on this issue, and the ability to recognize pettiness and rising above it. Not all people can do that, and they just go all the way with their hatred and jelousy.
Don't feel too bad though...besides societal influences, the issue of female on female agression (non physical) has been studied more deeply only recently, and it has been noted it is "instinctual".
A raw reaction to usually physically attractive women. It's like women are hardwired to see other pretty or thriving ladies as competition, so hostility arises (through the form of thoughts, attitudes, behaviors, etc.) It is NOT a conscious process, it comes from the subconscious making it harder to detect and assuage.
It is quite common in our gender no matter how much we insist on hiding this side of female interactions.
Again I congratulate you on recognizing the jelousy, and reflecting.
Let's hope more women read your post and learn to recognize that urge to judge and shun other people for petty reasons.
