Are you a jealous person?

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.

This sums it up for me.

I'm only jealous of what i can't have. I can have pretty much anything i want if i really really wanted to, but i choose not to because it usually involves hard work, lots of money and/or dedication.

It's this frame of mind that stops me being jealous.
 
I am a very jealous person - if I have something, I want it to be better than all of my friends'; if I don't, I convince myself that it's obviously not important. And when it comes to relationships... better not go there.

In terms of other's lives, though... not really. It would be awesome to be an actor or rock-star, but I don't feel jealous of those who have worked hard to get there. Guess I'm just a very materialistic person (did I just call women objects? :eek:)
 
I do get jealous of knowing that people I have been in a relationship with or have been sexual with are seeing or are sleeping other people. I also don't like it when I had had feelings for people and I see them with another. And I really don't like it when such people are being couply with another in front of my face. Even if I ended it with them.

That sort of 'I want it all and I want it now' mentality in its extreme form should be frowned upon, but I can't help but think of the best moments with those people and be sad that they are gone or lost.

On a more possitive note, I'm not at all jealous of material posessions for they matter little to me.
 
I used to get jealous of things when I was younger but, looking back on it now, I can't even really comprehend what it was exactly I thought I was jealous of. I'm really content now.

I mean, there are things I would like but, within reason, I can generally just go and buy them (things) or participate in them (activities). My wife and daughter are my life and the other stuff is just ... well ... stuff, isn't it?
 
I get pretty jealous about girls but that's about it and I don't turn wierd-obsessive, I'm just consciously aware of it.
 
I do get jealous, but it's almost always with girls. I almost get jealous if my girlfriend were to be friendly with another guy, perhaps it's because I'm not very confident and I am scared they would just run off with my mates. I don't think thats a trust thing though.

If I saw an ex with someone else, i'd get jealous. If I was also in a relationship though, I don't think I would be.



I don't get jealous about people with money, cars, houses and all that though. I mean I could watch the Gumball and think 'damn they are lucky going out there and doing that', but I wouldn't be jealous. More like just something to aim for.
 
Unless you have everything you possibly could want in life I think it's difficult to say you've never been envious of something, however I don't think I'm particularly a jealous person. I'd say I'm most envious of the people who have jobs which they really enjoy, the best I can usually hope for is to find my job 'interesting' on a good day.
