Yes. What do you think makes a guy or girl jelouse, as aposed to a comparable situation, where that person then is not conceived as a jelouse person...?? Insecurity. The better you feel about yourself/your relationship, the less jealous you are. Jealousy is a natural feeling and is OK. Acting out based upon it is not OK.

allarmeniangirl Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Yes. Jelousy is a natural feeling and there isn't a person who does not get jelous. I for one hate jelousy because it can make people do very surprising and hurtful things. It's kind of weird for me to say that I hate it even though I know I have it and can't change that. Hmmm...interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 It is part of human instinct, as it is an instinct for other animals as well. But always remember that it is the individual who has most control over his instincts that will be successful, because he will have understood, acknowledged, and surpassed them (and gone far beyond his nature, ironically). Disgust in reptilians is innate in humans, but overcoming this is positive, a success. So... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiner Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Is there a difference between jelousy and envy? I thought I heard jelousy is not wanting the other person to be what they are, and envy is wishing you were like them yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... yeah, thats kinda my take on it, i cant help but to feel the feeling of "jelousy" or "envy" if we wanna get technical.. lol.. but i also see its the way i express that feeling that gets the response.. from others, and life itself. and i think we should just merge the two terms, jealousy and envy .. lol.

sev-mard Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 (edited) I don't know if I'd agree that jealousy is instinctual. I think it's another human emotion that can be looked at rationally, and handled like any other. To me personally the emotion doesn't not exist. I'm not jealousy of anyone or anything. Envy is another thing I shun, the 4 Devils should be controlled and understood within oneself as best as possible. Jealousy, Lust, Hate & Envy = The 4 Devils. Back to the topic, my ideas on it are this. I never get jealous of my girl and other men, because if I thought the woman I was with would ever mess with other men, I wouldn't be dating her. I also know that try as they might, other men don't have a snowball's chance in Hades to be with my woman. On top of that some women try and "make" Men jealous, women like this I can't stand, and wouldn't be caught dead attempting to date such a women. Women can not "make" me jealous, and I feel that is the major source of jealous in men. I'm not jealous of people who are taller than me(damn them all to hell! ) or richer, etc. I mean I believe I will reach my goals and have what I want and need, and I'm emotionally fulfilled and proud therefore I don't look outside of myself too much for recognition. Human have many emotions, and even so called "negative" emotions have their place(I for one don't believe that anger is wrong, it is natural and sometimes needs to be released) but I don't believe that jealousy serves much purpose.

Stormig Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I don't think it's just any emotion - jealousy, unlike anger (of course I am OK with being shown to be wrong), can actually be a driving force. Example: http://www.thescotsman.co.uk/scotland.cfm?id=68632002 I don't know what to call it, but... <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
