Are you a jealous person?

I sometimes envy their success but not to a huge degree - and sometime wish I was as fortunate as they are. However, most of these people have worked damned hard to get to where they are. I'm far too lazy to dedicate myself as much, and in spite of that feel I have lived a fairly rich and diverse life in spite of not being loaded or having everything I could ever want. You make do with what you have.

To answer the OP in a more succinct way, no I don't really get jealous, and if ever I do, it's only in the shortest of instances and a flash in the pan feeling.
 
I get stupidly jealous when my GF spends time with other blokes when she could with me. But I know it's stupid, and I know that it's controlling, but I can't stop thinking about it..

You will eventually push her away if you don't sort it out.
 
Jealous? No.*
Envious? Sometimes**
Bitter? I can be.***



* No point. I trust my wife, she trusts me.
** Mostly when people manage to get lucky. I'm not really envious of those who have worked hard for what they have
*** Bitter and sarcastic is part of my personality I am afraid...

I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry that I made you cry.

What about relationships folks? Does jealously rears its head when your other half are having too much fun talking/hanging to the opposite sex?

I don't get jealous, but get very paranoid :(

I don't get jealous as such at people who are successful, as other's have said, they've normally worked hard for their wealth so I just say good on them. Only people I get genuinely jealous at is people who are successful/have nice things and have it all given to them on a plate.
 
jealousy in a relationship doesn't have to mean sleeping with someone else, it could just be that they are spending more time with your partner and you are jealous of that, even if the other person is the same sex.

I don't get jealous over other people having more money or nicer things than me, it annoys me if they did nothing to get those things and don't seem to care for what they have.

As for relationships, again I trust me wife and we spend loads of time together so no jealousy there. I am protective over her though. we are friends with a girl she works with and her husband, a man who constantly goes on about wife swapping and orgies to the point that i think he fancies my wife, and his behaviour annoys me. We met the partner of another office girl at the xmas party that though it was appropriate to put ice down my wife's top amongst other things, again, that kind of annoyed me because I didn't know him.

It doesn't bother me if we know the person and they are good friends, but when we've just met you its a different story. Wife says its jealousy, its not, I just think he's a ****! :D

Some of the time, this varies from person to person, otherwise you wouldn't have any problems in the world. Sometime you have to go through the meat grinder to 'realise' and learn, otherwise where is the empathy or feedback? :)
 
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Aside from that, not jealous in relationships either - it all boils down to trust. If you don't trust someone, don't be with them.
 
I am not a jealous person. If anything, people which live better/have better things than me, just motivate me even more.

No reason to be jealous. :)
