Not really. Jerry always had it super easy (even admitted to such multiple times) and always kind of had a smugness about it toward George and to a lesser extent Elaine, who did actually have some normal difficulties. I always sympathized with George because although he was a character and had some self-inflicted wounds, he just never got the good dice rolls in life Jerry did, but he always pushed through.
