It's a real shame that I'm jealous of what I can't have. Really makes it worse, but at least I know the roots and how to deal with it

My therapist told me that everyone is jealous/envious. That thought alone helped me. Didn't feel like I was such an ass for feeling so. Plus, I realised that it's really hard for oneself to not compare themselves to others when you're always confronted with it. So I try to avoid being constantly confronted with it. The feeling is still there, and honestly it ruins my day when it's a hard confrontation and never quite leaves me in day-to-day life. But it became a bit better.

I get jealous very easlily over people i care about. I hate it, it makes me feel awful. I wanna be happy to see my friends interact, but then when they do i shut down and I get this horrible mix of anger, sadness and fear. I want it to go away. I dont want to feel this way every time my friends spend time together.

My friends have it better than me, lighter workload, experiencing life in exciting places. Here i am staying in my uninteresting hometown living the same day again and again with overloaded college work. I feel guilty for feeling like this but I can't help but experience bitterness and envy. Anyway I just wanted to voice this out, I'll try my best to get over it

BRILLIANT HELPFUL VIDEO 👏 It's also good to reflect on the object of what you covet- Let your jealousy be your informant that you are motivated to get the thing you're desiring, and instead of focusing on the other person, pull the focus inward and use your motivation to figure out what you can do- to drive you to that goal. Jealousy is an informative emotion! I love positive explanations for it, great video thank you. Disclaimer: what someone's behaviors are as a result of jealousy is a different story 😅

As someone who has had a very jealous partner, being constantly hyper jealous, if based out of fear of being undesirable ends up making you into being undesirable. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I am jealous of someone that everyone likes and everyone chooses and everyone says they are smarter than me, but no one really knows me, so I am a bit jealous of them

I have dealt with extreme jealousy my whole life and it never gets any easier:(

Jealousy and envy are different emotions

[christiaancoetzee]

I have a friend who is jealous of another friends “position” in our friend group, essentially he feels, especially since he’s been in the group longer, that it’s just his personality that doesn’t fit with us. A fight has started to break out and now i don’t know what to do cause I don’t want either of them to leave over something like this.

jealousy can be the result of inferiority. parents who constantly compare their child to others leads to feelings of inferiority and in turns feelings of jealousy

I love how smart these videos are thought out and made ...

But the thing is, I don’t feel jealousy that often, but recently I have been feeling it towards my bff, and that’s because she can draw way better than me, I’m a pretty good artist but she never threw at school, and one day shows up with a huge Bach of super nicely drawn drawings and my mind when I saw it said”it’s probably her sister who drew it🙄”I still pretended I was really happy but deap down I just really wanted to expose her, even tho she’s my bestie, and I also feel like I’m toxic towards her because whenever she’s talking my brain just thinks”I can’t wait until she stops talking so I can talk”and I just hate this feeling + I have a friend with the opposite gender and I feel like I’m super rude to them because I’m always being mean and kinda being the frenemy

This came in the right time! ✨

Last friday was the card day here in the Philippines and i didn't get the honor student achievement but i almost got it. My friends however are flexing their card with honors on their facebook stories. I was jealous (even now still) even though i also tried my best. I didn't do good enough

[Oyabu...]

Lol i was thinking about it just yesterday before sleeping you know as the thoughts are flooding at that time but i figured i like being jealous 🤔 probably not healthy but it just feels like i can also inspire jealousy if i try to be like them because its mostly attainable stuff like exercising mobility and muscle stuff

[yoooooBETTT]

Im jealous when my dog likes anyone as much as me 😤 I WANT HIS ATTENTION

[Darkest_Gray]

WHY IS THIS SO ADORABLE!?!? (Also good advice and it will help me, Ty)

[FayeFaye-]

I couldnt ever stop feeling jealous, mostly because my freedom is limited here.

[Ilovecoffeee]

Im jealous of ppl being successful because I, myself, havent been able to be successful enough. Like, my younger cousins all get good grades but i dont...that makes me feel sad and it makes me feel like im not good enough...I also want to act mature and have good conversation skills, and get jealous of ppl who are like that. :(
