Think about what you have that is positive in your life.  There will always be someone who is smarter, better looking, funnier, more talented or whatever you are measuring.  You will find yourself much happier if you "compete with yourself", rather than some ideal standard.  \n\nIt is big of you to try to be happy for the person you are jealous of and you should do that as much as possible.

Admittedly, the definitions for envy and jealousy in our culture may be very similar.  However, there has been extensive philosophical debate as to whether or not jealousy and envy are, in fact, the same emotion.  \n\nI believe that they are not the same emotion because whereas jealousy indicates a concern for losing something precious to the person experiencing the jealousy; envy seems to refer to a distorted perception of one's success or prosperity in competition or relationship to that [the succes or prosperity] of another - and clearly, the "alleged" opponent is, undeservedly, far better off, as far as the envious person is concerned.  Likewise, the way I see it, jealousy seems more concerned with someone keeping what they have, while envy appears to extend to acquiring things others have, and thereby depriving them of pleasure or enjoyment of those things.\n\nCrimes or offenses committed as a result of jealousy have frequently been categorized as "crimes of passion."  A wife who catches her husband 'in flagrante delicto' with another man or woman might be inclined to kill.  This would be considered a crime of passion.  Crimes or offenses commited as the result of envy usually tend to encompass the corruption, or contamination of anything which was once good, pure or otherwise outstanding.  An adult who is dissatisfied with his mate because they are no longer attractive may put himself in a situation where his involvement ends up emotionally scarring, if not destroying a budding relationship between two impressionable young people.  \n\nLastly, the mathematics of jealousy and envy are quite different, too.  Jealousy involves three people to complete its equation, but envy only requires two individuals to manifest itself.  \n\nHere is an example of jealousy:  A husband might be jealous of his wife's long-standing friendship with her high-school sweetheart because he fears that she doesn't like him as much as she does her high-school sweetheart.\n\nHere is an example of envy:  A husband wishes he were more prosperous in life like his wife's high-school sweetheart, whom he despises for being so successful, because his wife sometimes reminds him that he could've done better, or made different choices - which makes him [the husband] feel like a loser.

ONLY LEARNED PEOPLE CAN BE JEALOUS OF ANOTHER LEARNED PERSON \nOTHERWISE WHO ELSE CAN BE. BUT IT MUST BE A POSITIVE ONE FOR ONE TO DO BETTER TRY BETTER AND NOTHING MORE THAN THAT.\nFROWN MAY NOT BE THE CORRECT WORD.

Jealousy is an instinctive feeling. I doubt anyone can say they don't feel it at all in certain situations.\n\nNow... how you react to jealousy is another story.\n\nFirst of all, you've got to be honest to yourself. Do you *really* know he's going to be with you forever? If you do - then what's the insecurity all about? Confront your own feers first, write them down and then prove them to yourself as untrue. When your list is down to maybe 1 or 2, take those to him and talk about it, *calmly*. You both can go over the facts and clear up some unknowns.\nYou'll both also feel much better after it's over.

when a person has a jealousy it will be forever and cannot be removed. He keeps on doing it and u both keep on getting into some troubles. So its better to discuss the problem of ur relation and solve it as soon as possible. Thank You.

Envy can be positive, if you take it as a way to improve yourself.. but then if you look at people & you wish that you want to have what they have, then it's good.\n\nNegative envy is as follows:\nyou see a successful, rich..etc person, then you say to yourself: "He doesn't deserve that" or "I wish that he looses everything".. this is bad envy & leads to self destruction as you'll have devil feelings towards everyone.\n\nOne should evaluate himself, if you see a successful person, then this should urge you to evaluate yourself & wanting to make the best of it. That's it.

well.. my ex-boyfriend makes me jealous ALL the time... but then i just stop and think that it doesn't really matter beacuse it's his life to lead mistakes and to carry on with what he wants. Jealousy should not lead your life.. but it should try and help you become stronger.

You can feel it just in you! People just tell you things cause they are jealous. Just follow what you want. :) HE IS JUST TO SCARED TO ADMIT IT.

people feel jealous when they actually like the person of whom they r jealous and they want to become like them.

I dunno, I haven't been able to master that skill yet.  Everytime someone's been jealous of me I haven't wanted them to feel that way and by the time I want them to be jealous of me they generally don't care enough about me to be jealous let alone any other emotion.\n\nProbably better to just let it go and move on.  Who knows -- maybe losing your fixation on getting him to care about you will make him jealous...

Jealousy is referred to as the "green-eyed monster" in a Shakespearean play.  I'm not sure which play it is right now, although I want to say it's Othello.  It might be a reference to Shakespeare.
