Yeah! it's inferiority complex. It's a negative feeling. Jealous won't effect the subject, but effects us. God gives to everybody whatever he feels appropriate. If we jealous of our neighbour having purchased new car and You don't have one and you feel jealous because of not having that one. Then God going to give you the same along with the diseases that your neighbour possess, do u agree? No... u want only comforts not miseries. Therefore, we shouldn't compare with others. We should feel better with what God gave to us. Therefore I never feel jealous of anybody.

Thank you very much for your response. Well jelousy in that point of view would seem like inferiority complex. I was actually pertaining to jelousy in regard to a romantic relationship with another person. If your husband or wife were quite getting too close for comfort with an officemate, wouldn't you feel jelous? Or if he/she were to see an Ex lover, wouldn't you feel jelous?

Yes I would be jealous if say, my hubby was showing the wrong kind of interest in someone else. Then I would be that green eyed monster. But he would too, if it was reversed, so I guess we're ok :))

I'm definately not the jealous type. I do think that when someone is constantly envious of what everyone else has it is a sign that they are not comfortable with themselves. I don't think that you need to constantly be jealous because it is a wasted emotion. It does not good.

No I don't get jelous. I trust my love. I know that she loves me very much so I don't have any reason to be jelous.

I have been in the past, but it is not a part of me that I choose to like, so I have made a great effort not to be! And I would say for me it was a sign of an inferior complex! Very annoying and unhealthy!

I am not a jealous person. I suppose to be a little jealous is natural and okay. But to be obsessed with jealousy, is not a good thing. I don't know if it is inferiority complex or insecurity.

yes i am a jealous type of girl.. i usually get jealous if my hubby stares at somebody but i usually take it on my own.. sometimes i do made some remarks and my hubby would just laugh.. yeah maybe it is just part of being insecure. you might think that somebody is better than you for your partner. you might think that you are not good enough because he/she still stares to somebody. but now i categorized my hubby's staring. sometimes he stares because that somebody really catches everybodys attention. :)

Yeah! I am a jealous type person. But I don't consider it as an inferiority complex. I can't accept that my boyfriend will show affection to someone and that will be a ground for me to be jealous.
I guess inferiority complex is another aspect. I can say that jealousy is a sign of inferiority complex when there are no reasons to be jealous.

To be honest, I do not belong to the jealous type, but sometimes I do have this feeling,just a little.
I think somtimes it is okay to be a little jealous. it may be a driver for you to work hard. If you are jealous of somebody, maybe you will try your best to keep up with him, even better than him.
But too much jealousness is not a good,because it may make human become crazy. And even, too much jealousness may let someone do somthing to hurt others.

You commented that you were referring to romantic jealousy in your question.
A small amount of jealousy is going to arise in a relationship. However, there's enough jealousy to become a problem, then either your partner is doing something they shouldn't, or you have self-esteem issues in addition to not trusting your partner.
Some people are flattered that their partner gets very jealous, but I'd find it an insult and start to wonder about my partner's self-esteem.
Jealousy is all about ego, a lack of self-esteem and mistrust of others. If it's innappropriate to the situation, or felt when it shouldn't be, that's a sign of a character flaw.

Yes I am proud to say that i am jealous type of a person.In my view friend if u have got to be successful u have to be jealous.
It is the trait of a successful person.If u are never jealous of whatever someone has got better then u,i dont think u ll everhave the eagerness and enthusiasm to acheive it....
Jealousy makes u work hard that extra bit which helps u succedd which helps u get a 100% out of yourself.
