Jealousy really is a green monster. It eats away at you physically and mentally.
I don't like being jealous, but sometimes i am. Not only jealous but feel inferior. I know it is really a matter of pride, but i try not to let it get the best of me.
Right now i am jealous for a very shallow reason and I wish I wasnt. I am jealous of a girl who is perfect in every way. Witty, smart, graceful, elegant, beautiful on the outside, beautiful on the inside, charming, knows how to do the right things and say the right things. She is a close friend of my boyfriend.
And I am the opposite of all those things. I am not funny, medium intelligence, i am clumsy, not beautiful on the inside (or i wouldn't be jealous), i say all the wrong things and hurt people, and do all the wrong thigns that make people think i am not very nice.
What is your advice on not being jealous. I do feel very bad about this green monster and i just want it to go away so i can stop feeling so fearful all the time and gain a little confidence

I too feel jealous sometimes. Ok, well I feel jealous pretty often. I try to control it, but sometimes I can't help it. What I would suggest is just to try to be the best that you can be. Give yourself a makeover, inside and out, and strive to be a better person.

It is a good suggestion. I have tried to be less clumsy and be more elegant. I tried cutting my hair a different way and wearing different things. I try not to speak bad of anyone or think bad of anyone. I try to be positive. I try to be funny and charming and i try to make sure i don't accidentally say things to hurt people
