Jealous of Everyone

She knew it all; had a quick answer for everything.
I am the best listener, she told me. Everyone says so.
I knew that everyone had tried harder than I had to get in a word.
I was a bit jealous of everyone, wondering how everyone had done it.

In this case I think, "everyone" is "noone." Could be "anybody," though.
