are you a typical jealous person?
Jealousy hits us every so often, and it usually does at odd times. Often, even the reasons are so simple that we feel a little funny when we get to look back at it. Do you remember how you felt when you noticed a friend's bag or purse was the one that you've been eyeing but never had the money to buy?
While others may find little jealousies sweet, most of us don't. If you allow it to get out of hand, the green-eyed monster will surely devour your loved ones and your self-esteem.
I get jealous sometimes but I usually keep it to myself...how about you my friends?

Personally i am not the jealous type that gossip about people success or possesion . However i do stand in amazement and awe with people achievement and possession . Maybe they are hard working or screwd enough to accumulate their wealth. Sometime they are lucky and sweet talker to have that pretty girlfriend and such. However i do not envy them but stand in amazement and little disappointed about myself.

@cherigucchi, I'm the most jealous but I never do anything that can harm others. I just keep it to myself.

I have never been jealous of somebody because he/she had something that I had not. I am modest, and I do not care a lot about material goods.
This said, I think that a bit of jealousy is normal in a couple. It is a proof of love as long as it does not become a disease : if it happens it would kill soon the relationship.

Good for you. So you do not get jealous at all, even a bit and that is really good for you.

I am not a jealous person. I do not find any reason to be jealous. Somebody can be more brilliant than myself; that is a fact about which I need not feel anything. Anybody’s superior qualities do not affect me in the least. I do not become inferior because you are superior. Therefore, there is no need for jealousy.
Jealousy is very dangerous and it destroys the peace and happiness of the individual. It is not without reason that there is so much misery in this world.

I am jealous and i was born jealous already but not with material things but with my affection to my special soulmate. I don't want somebody will he be talking or even just Retweeting his tweets. I don't like him to interact with others especially girls. I feel check his arrival and sleeping time. I am just tailored like this.

I am a little bit like that too. It's not that I am insecure or something, there are just some flirty girls around who seem to be wanting those who have ties already, if you get what I mean.

Well, I'm not a very jealous person. With this I don't mean I don't feel any jelousy at all, but in the same time I'm always able to hide it or to never let that feeling lead me to some practical actions. I believe jelousy it's a feeling, also a fear, and the more you have trust in your self and in somebody you love the less you'll be conditioned by it. The fact that we are jealous it means we feel something to be our property or believe somebody can "steal" a person from us, taking our place. But when you have already built a strong relationship with somebody and you already know that person care about you, you shouldn't have anything to be worried about. Realizing these things I never let it go too much deep.

Im quite the jealous type but just like you I really don't show it because I don't want my partner to get the idea that I am insecure or something. I never let myself get into it as well because I am pretty much aware where so much jealousy can lead a person too.

Hi,
Jealousy can lead to covetousness, that feeling to have what others possess, which, according your own observation, is like a "green-eyed monster" ready to devour our self esteem. I am not jealous, I only wonder why they have it and I don't. That keeps me thinking all the time, the answer has eluded me so far.

Same thing here, just wondering too why? But of course I try to find reasons why others have it while i dont.
