I don't do jealousy.

Depends. I can be jealous, to be honest I think everybody sometimes is, even the ones who claim to never be. It just depends on circumstances. Let's say I prefer to be in a relationship where I have no reason to be jealous, then I won't really be jealous either. If I look back at situations where I was very jealous, I had very good reason for it. And I don't want a partner who makes me feel that way. I know from experience that when a man really loves and respects me and doesn't show any interest in other woman, it doesn't bother me in the slightest when he interacts with another woman, not even when she is pretty, younger, or whatever. I think it comes down to that a lot: having that trust and knowing in a relationship that no matter what you want the other person, and that person only, and aren't interested in someone else. I think this is a good answer. I've been in similar situations. I've found that jealously is always from an action that shouldn't be happening. If you don't trust someone it's best to let them go. I was jealous of my ex on father's day. It pisses me off that he clears a day of recognition to be with our daughter. She cleaned his house for spending money. To be in a relationship where your SO doesn't have any interest in others is unreasonable; you aren't that great in all respects. This is where trust comes in and your self confidence. When you know deep in your heart that you are the one chosen, the one who is going to be the lover now and in the future, then you have no reason to be jealous. That is like dating a stripper that you truly trust. Others get to look and enjoy the innuendo, but it is your bed she is coming home to!! |

Are you a JEALOUS person with all your loved ones(family and friends included)??
Yes. That's why I killed and ate them all, so all their souls and accomplishments are now mine. Jealousy can become very fool,crazy and without control...and dangerous!
So can any emotion or feeling; become dangerous without "control." That's the price of living in a group, social hierarchy. You can't make a housewife out of a #$%$#
Sure you can. Can you make a #$%$# out of a housewife? Look up pornstars and their history/biography's and see how many got tired of their life as housewives and accountants and real estate agents and became "#$%$#'s." No reason the process couldn't be reversed. Might as well say you can't build civilization from cavemen. Just takes time, influence, and the right motivations. And you can most definitely make cavemen out of civilized folk. Otherwise all those zombie and emp movies are full of crap. |

I half way agree with several people, especially MsHarmony and Deff Diff, where they talk about how there's a variety of interpretations about what exactly the term "jealousy" means.
The difference I heard a long while back, was that ENVY, is when you wish you had what the other person has, while JEALOUSY is when you want to prevent the other person from having what you don't have, and wish you did. But I also agree that the term jealousy always implies hostility, and often outright active anger. I am opposed philosophically to ALLOWING myself to indulge in jealousy. Instead, if I find that I am developing jealousy against someone, I take it as a signal to either restructure my relationship with them so that jealousy no longer applies (i.e. stop trying to be their mate, and just be an acquaintance or minor friend), or end things entirely. So I guess my answer to this is, not that I DON'T get jealous, but that I actively reject jealousy as a solution to anything, and use it only as a sort of "error code" that means I have to get out of that relationship. Oh. And one other thing I will NEVER do, or allow to be done to me, is to allow my or someone else's jealously to be used to try to force someone to change what they are doing. |

Jealousy is often called 'The green-eyed monster' here in the UK. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-green-eyed-monster.htm |

I new then ... |

Jealous behavior is an emotional symptom of poor self esteem and lack of self confidence. When you are confident in yourself, there is no reason to be jealous of someone else because you know you are as good as or better than them. |

If that were so then god himself is guilty of it because his first commandments states...I am a jealous god and thou shall not have any other gods or idols before me. |

Confidence doesn't mean "you know you are as good as or better than them." ~~~ That's arrogance/narcissism. Who are you to say you're as good, or better, than someone? None of us are better than anyone else. . |

Jealousy is a natural feeling we get if someone we like or love is making us feel insignificant or not cherished there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it...it dosent make some one crazy or weak it’s how you act on that jealousy then it becomes something else

uh no not jealous however, if given reason I will walk away for I do not tolerate bad behavior if he wants to see other women flirt online text other women all day long flirt with other women on a date with me look at the waitress's butt on the way by uh no just no this woman does not tolerate low behavior Exactly how I would feel, I won't allow someone to be disrespectful to me. I would think if I'm not holding your interest and you feel the need to flirt, stare or make crude comments about another woman well than there's the door don't let it hit you on your way out. |
