If you mean in the context of romantic relationships, I really don't get jealous a lot. First, my BF is really very loyal and faithful to me. Second, I am not doing anything to destroy his trust on me. Third, I really am not the jealous type. Even if someone tries to flirt with my man, I don't mind. I see it as a test for him to see how he could resist them. If he can't then I'm wasting my time on him. But on other things, I get jealous when someone has better abilities, better looks, better humor, or talents, or financial status. I get jealous on someone who is better in many ways. But that's a normal feeling I guess. I just learn to accept myself for who I am.

i feel so jealous with his job. He spend most of his time doing and staying with it than me. Its his priority and maybe his life. I understand but i cannot accept it. I feel so crazy because i cannot compete with this thing i feel jealous of. Im afraid i might get lost. BUt i do love him so im trying very very hard to give myself a reason and fully accept this fact.

I never been jealous with my siblings. I only jealous when love is the topic. But i never been severely jealous. I remember just recently I felt it when I had learned that my office crush is interested with my close friend. I got jealous because I expect he liked me too, i learned my lesson that you don't have to expect. When you expect a lot, you will get hurt. You know I am weird, when I am watching for example my favorite korean drama series, and there casted my favorite korean actor and he of course a love interest there, I get jealous while watching them. But I get over it after watching. I will be back in my real soul. I don't know if anyone is like me.

Jealous. Not really a jealous type of person. I sometimes don't get jealous on things and affection. But I do get jealous with other people on things when I'm not in the mood and I feel like everything has taken out of me. But after that, back to normal. Not really a showy type of person so they don't know when I do get jealous.

Everything! No seriously. I'm a little over protective because my previous ex was lying and cheating for 4 months- I didn't even have a clue! I've tried to relax more recently, and i can deal with my man conversing with his female friends.. just not too much! He doesn't mind so much- atleast thats what he's told me.. so i hope its true! I'll scratch their eyes out if they're hitting on him though.

My my very close guy friend is talking with a mutual friend. When he's telling stories about her, asking things about her. I feel insecure. I just don't know. I just wish he's much interested with me than my friend. I get more jealous with a common friend than with a person I don't know.

It used to be I'd be jealous over the slightest things, but after years of having games played and going through situations where I should be extremely jealous and furious, having it rubbed in my face, I simply do not even waste time feeling the emotion anymore. I've been the recipient of adultery and the victim of blatant adultery plenty of times, and saw every game played in the book when I was very young, so I learned alot quick and will never lower my standards because of it. Like James Brown said "It's your thang... do what you wanna do... I can't tell you, who to sock it to!" - if there's a scenario where I can doubt the person, and I feel any doubt or mistrust, then I will follow my gut and not even waste any more time of putting any vested emotion in the situation... and if someone purposely tries to make me jealous, then it's game over. I walk away, you win, lose, whatever it is that you were trying to accomplish, it's not my business anymore and I could care less. Maybe it's a cold, or bitter way to be, but I feel that trust is everything, and I won't fight for someone I can't trust, especially if I've barely known them long enough to really care... and even if I do, the smart thing, is to be strong enough to literally shut off all emotion and pretend it never even existed. Just my two cents... good topic, healthbeauty.
