Jealousy

[AThousandLies]

So I'm wondering ... do people here get jealous often?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The reason I ask this is because I've found I'm becoming increasingly jealous, bitter and cynnical towards the success of others. Maybe there are some situations where I feel I deserved to be the recipient of what I'm jealous of, but sometimes perhaps it's part of my own concept.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At my school, every year we have special awards for students excelling in particular subjects for their respective year groups. These range from the arts (music, drama, dance), to the technologies (graphic design, multimedia, computer systems), to the sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, maths), the humanities, (english, geography, Italian, history etc) and the trades (woodwork, metalwork etc).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, a friend of mine whom I sit next to in biology won the award for that and woodwork. I was rather spiteful towards him because of this as I think there are many people who may have deserved the biology award more, but perhaps that is just my dellusioned concept. Additionally, psychology; the subject in which I'm the best in the class, has no award. So I'm pretty spiteful about that too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This may seem like a big whine but back to the main point - are you a jealous person? Why/why not?

it's pretty rare if i get jealous. it happens every now and then where i feel jealousy coming in , but i just think, ah what the hell... who gives a [bleep], let them be happy.

 

 

 

just don't give up. even if the whole world is better than you or they just sck theirselves up to the top, just do your best and in the end it'll all be alright.

 

 

 

that's pretty much how i deal with jealousy.

i get very jealous about most things, its one of my bad points.

 

 

 

i am trying to take steps to rectify it tho- everytime i feel that way i force myself to think of a good point that the person has, or a nice thing they have said to me. that helps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i've found i've been worse tho since being depressed, think that might be a symptom of it?

I get jealous when it comes to my boyfriend... :( if he even talks to another girl, I feel a small twinge of jealousy. I'm really trying to work on it though. I can tell sometimes it creeps him out.

[____]

I am very protective of my partner. Whether or not that falls under jealousy or not is another issue.

 

 

 

I have no problem with her talking with other guys and such. But more so when they continually keep hitting on her when she's told them to [bleep] off and leave her alone :-?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I also tend to be rather spiteful when it comes to accedemic performance. I know I produce HD material for all the www subjects, but because of some lachie's stupid way of marking everything my results are nurffed heavily. And it isn't just me who complains about that[/rant]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I guess I'm just a spiteful person and not jealous...

[How2PK]

I'm not really jelous..I think there are two people who I sometimes am jelous at. My two best (yea that sounds weird, two best) friends, it always seems they never have any problems, good jobs, doing great at school, and they are goin together. Not that I am jelous at my male friend for going with her or something, I don't care about that since I don't/never fancy/fancied (sp?) her. But sometimes I'd like to have a relationship you know, at the times when they are doing all that great stuff together and they talk about it, it feels like things in my own life are missing. So I'm only jelous for short periods of time. :)

Kind of hard to understand but I'm pretty sure I agree with bas.

i totally agree, because in the end it doesn't really matter what they have.

I'm not a jealous person. If someone has something that I really want or I think is rightfully mine (award, money, girlfriend, whatev), I always blame the loss on myself instead of on the other person.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, blaming myself for everything is not the best policy either :( , but it does keep me from jealousy.

thats how i am too, i blame myself for not having something i want. i also get depressed sometimes about stuff too because i am not good as somebody else at something. its not the other persons fault for being successful, its mine for not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but anyways, there are many jealous people out there. its probably one of the leading causes of most of the worlds problems. when you keep it inside of you, and never act to hurt the person you are jealous of, theres not a problem. that kind of jealousy hurts no-one, and eventually youll find out you can be better if you try.

[AThousandLies]

I blame myself a lot too ... I'm very apologetic for things and I feel that if something's gone wrong in one of my relationships/friendships, it's always my fault. It seems to really annoy my best friend as well.

[nintendomaster2024]

Aye, I hear all you guys. Jealousy is when someone has something and you don't, or have achieved something you haven't. But, it doesn't matter about their lives. Appreciate what you do have. Even if you aren't good at what they're good at, appreciate what you ARE good at. Even if other people are better than you, it doesn't make them a better person, does it? Someone that sucks at everything can be the nicest person in the world, compared to the person that is the best at everything and is the meanest, as well. People will look at others in High School with their scholar status and social status. Later on in adulthood, people look at your character and personality, not your skills.

:shock: i just had a thing today for awards, perahps we go to the same school?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, i dotn get jelouse. I have a few times, but i try and think of it as a bad thing to do and jus ttry not to be jelouse. I think its quite a stupid feeling to feel. Almost like being greedy... which i think is stupid.

I don't really get jealous, but when I do it's often over material things (like people who/who's parents can afford to buy whatever, get a nice first car, etc. ), but that's just motivation in my eyes to do the same. I'm not really bitter about things, I just think that that's something I'd like to be able to do, so it makes me strive for something.

My thoughts exactly =D

[Faux]

1. Ability to play games - I only know of one games that I consider myself superior over others and that is any James Bond game on multiplayer on Gamecube. I am the pro-sniper and I cannot let anyone beat me. On anything else, I cannot care about :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't get jealous over my friend's ability to kill me over and over in SSBM or anything. Even in Runescape, when I lost interest, I don't get jealous anymore when my friends would get a lv 99 or 20 mil or anything. I just can't care less.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Women - As long as my gf isn't involved in anyway, I can not get jealous of anyone. I won't care if your gf is Angelina Jolie or Jessica Alba, as long as you don't touch my gf, I am not jealous :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's weird though, I'm lucky enough as it is that my gf never hangs out with any guys as all her friends are girls. I just hope she keeps it that way although I won't stop her myself if she befriends a guy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Brains - Yes. I'll envy you if you have a great mind. If it's average or above average which close to mine, then I won't care. If a genius that is in my age comes along, then I get jealous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This topic brings up another interesting point though. In terms of a relationship, you have your gf's password for her e-mail. Would you use it to check her mails or not?

[nintendomaster2024]

If you trust her, no. But if she's unwilling to tell you something that is potentially dangerous, yes.

Why is that? We've been together for more than 8 months now and we check each others e-mail when we want to. We don't see anything wrong :?

[knives669]

I have my boyfriend's password to his email account, but, I don't check it. I trust him. :)

[____]

I have the password for:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sisters email

 

 

 

gf's email

 

 

 

ex's email

 

 

 

ex's email

 

 

 

3 friends emails

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the only one I check is my gf's and just relay anything of importance to her since she doesn't get much time online anymore :(

[Faux]

I have my boyfriend's password to his email account, but, I don't check it. I trust him. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Psst, he's cheating on you.

 

 

 

Don't check his e-mail. He's not hiding anything or not planning to have a date with your bestfriend or your sister :wink: :lol:

 

 

 

Psst, he's cheating on you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

since he doesn't get much time online anymore :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:o WellÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ wellÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm obviously joking =P

[trapical]

My parents have always been relatively wealthier then average so I don't really get jealous about material things. However last week we got back out Biology mid terms. This is by far the most difficult class I have ever been in and this test was ludicrously hard. I studied no less then 15 hours the day before and I get it back to see a 91/95 as my score with the note "2nd best in this class of 73. Good job!" I get back to my seat kinda pissed off that I was that close when the professor walks in carrying a cardboard tube, the kind used to hold posters. He then says ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅThe scores were below average but Nick here got a 92/95, the highest grade in the class. As a reward for the job well done hereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a metabolic pathway chart, youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll need it in Med School. Its laminated and signed by me.ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

:? Id say having the password to your g/f or B/f's email acount, means that you get preatty jelouse and you dont trust the other person... i think in a realationship, one should still have privaicy.

I used to, but not anymore. Knowing that there's no chance that your SO would cheat on you increases the trust between the two of us. She trusts me way more than before now.
