Title: How do you handle jealousy?
Post by: Herb. on October 18, 2015, 03:44:42 PM
Envy is such a natural, human emotion. And although many of us don't admit that we have these feelings sometimes, we've all experienced it countless times during our lives (and I expect that to be denied by some lol).

But here's my question. How do you handle it?

It depends on the type of jealousy though. Peer? Relationships? Career?

No specification. We're addressing the emotion itself.

I've come to understand and enjoy the jealously sometimes in my relationship.
Not that we're cheating on each other. But like when I may get a lil jealous that he's spending a lot of time with his friends or vice versa, or any other minor thing. Its not a "jealous" that would make me go off the handles just a little feeling I feel. I enjoy it now because its nothing but love.  :stressed:


Career jealously? I dunno. Once I get out of college and start to work up my field. I'll see.

and I've never been jealous of a single person in my life. If I ever feel like I want something, It just makes me want to work harder for whatever it is I want.  :helloimangie:

I see what you mean. But you say that you've never been jealous of anyone in your life, but just admitted that there's jealousy when your boyfriend's friends get more of his time than you'd want them to. That's jealousy towards an individual.

I think that more people would be open to expressing these moments as they are, if jealousy wasn't such a publicly shamed emotion: "Haters!" "Bye Felicia!", etc. ...these terms all make it a very negative thing just to have a very human emotion.

But as Que said, it's all about how you HANDLE these emotions. This makes the difference between a human and a "hater". Someone is branded a "hater" when they've chosen to handle their jealousy in a negative, harmful way.

It's weird because I've never been jealous of anything or anyone in my entire life. I've always known that there are people out there who are better than I am in a lot of different aspects of life. I just strive to work hard for whatever opportunity I want in life, whether it's financial or personal. If you want to be somewhere in life, I've always believe if you work hard, you can achieve it no matter what circumstances or obstacles come your way. I just do the best that I can as a person and live my life according to what I can do.

So in all of your years of living, including childhood, you've never experienced the emotion of envy?

To me jealousy is such a useless emotion, even tho it's natural. It is really a green-eyed monster used for destruction (Othello) :dead:

I count my blessings and keep it moving :ohwow:

Let it fuel me.  it should really just be turned into motivation, depending on what we're talking about.  In terms of relationships, I just get quiet, keep to myself even more and become a little cold/short. I'm not argumentative or confrontational, but you'll know I'm pissed or upset

you're passive aggressi'. like me. lolz :supluv: I get the same way when I feel some type of way, if I feel hurt more so. Not jealous.

I handle envy pretty much the same way as everyone's stated in here, including you. Turning it into motivation is a fabulously productive way to make something out of nothing.

Remind myself that I don't know what that person had to endure to obtain the blessing(s) they have. And I'd imagine how it would make me feel if someone discredited the blessings I have without knowing how hard I worked for them. I turn that emotion into a positive thought.

Well what we see as their end result is the positive, what they had to endure, we'd assume that some of that history may include a bit of negative or unsavory experiences. Reality is in such a large part negativity. Turning on the news for 10 minutes will confirm that. That's what I meant by thinking negatively. :wub: Not in a bad way. I know what you mean. We don't know their struggle. So why continue to envy their success.

But here's my question. How do you handle it?

This may sound weird but I never process that someone is being jealous or intentionally malicious until it becomes blatantly obvious and in my face :dead: Even if I find out someone is talking shit I'm always like "oh :ohwow: " I can't bring myself to give a fuck and that's just the honest truth. I have a habit of avoiding confrontation so I walk away from situations and even people just to avoid that energy.

If a guy is jealous, I avoid them cause super jealous guys tend to be controlling and I can't deal with that type of stuff. If it's a girl, I just don't say shit lolz cause they're clearly jealous due to insecurity so I just watch them fume.  :ohwow: I dealt with that a lot in high school fjjjj

Right.

We publicly shame jealousy and envy all the time, when many of us have those emotions. It's to the point where some will not admit to even having one instance of jealousy in their entire being on Earth.  :plzstop: It's because we fear being labeled a "hater"; many of us would enjoy being perceived as the opposite. Someone who is consistently confident, never has downtime, never wishes they had more, or not even in the slightest bit envy those who do: in other words -- perfect.

It's hard for many of us to step outside of that box, because in the age of social media, and filters, and relationship statuses, we're taught to be that perfect person. To have the flawless skin, to have the amazing life, to have the perfect "bae" . We are somehow taught to be or portray the person who is envied. So for us to even admit that sometimes we're on the opposite side of the fence, it's not appetizing.

Envy is such a natural, human emotion. And although many of us don't admit that we have these feelings sometimes, we've all experienced it countless times during our lives (and I expect that to be denied by some lol).

But here's my question. How do you handle it?

This may sound weird but I never process that someone is being jealous or intentionally malicious until it becomes blatantly obvious and in my face :dead: Even if I find out someone is talking shit I'm always like "oh :ohwow:
ssdddddddddddd !!!!!!

But after that my passive aggressive switch will turn right the fuck on and it's war. I'll shade you downe so it can give u a reason to say something to me then That'll give me a reason to blow up on you :ohwow:

fff I mean, I think that the people who say all the time that they're never jealous most likely are but I don't doubt that there are people who never are jealous. Personally speaking, I'm not a jealous person cause I'm comfortable with myself and what I have and can offer.

Just put my best foot forward. I'm learning not to let my emotions control my actions
Fucking fabulous. Flawless.
BBBBBNBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBNnbbbbnnbbbb

:omgwatshappening:
I'm sorry but you put it PERFECTLY. :stressed: For me, at least. This is exactly how I feel.
I think it's important to let your emotions flow..never try to hide or suppress them. We all get jealous..like you said its natural. As I get older I'm learning that you don't have to be sort of a puppet to how you are feeling. Some days I'm good at it..some days I'm not.
Right.

We publicly shame jealousy and envy all the time, when many of us have those emotions. It's to the point where some will not admit to even having one instance of jealousy in their entire being on Earth.  :plzstop: It's because we fear being labeled a "hater"; many of us would enjoy being perceived as the opposite. Someone who is consistently confident, never has downtime, never wishes they had more, or not even in the slightest bit envy those who do: in other words -- perfect.

It's hard for many of us to step outside of that box, because in the age of social media, and filters, and relationship statuses, we're taught to be that perfect person. To have the flawless skin, to have the amazing life, to have the perfect "bae" . We are somehow taught to be or portray the person who is envied. So for us to even admit that sometimes we're on the opposite side of the fence, it's not appetizing.

I think there's a difference between instances of jealousy and being a "jealous person". Some people may be confusing that in the thread.

I have a habit of avoiding confrontation so I walk away from situations and even people just to avoid that energy.

If a guy is jealous, I avoid them cause super jealous guys tend to be controlling and I can't deal with that type of stuff. If it's a girl, I just don't say shit lolz cause they're clearly jealous due to insecurity so I just watch them fume.  :ohwow: I dealt with that a lot in high school fjjjj

Do you guys see how I simply asked how an emotion is handled, not if you've actually experienced the emotion or not, but some of us felt a need to come in solely to proclaim that we've never had one instance of envy in our lives? That's what I mean.

Not saying anyone is right or wrong, just circling back to one of my points.

 We are all wonderfully and uniquely made. I'm learning to be fine and happy the way I am. ❤️

We must realize jealously is something we were made to feel because of what society says someone "should have" or "should look like" . No one is born jealous. I don't believe it to be a natural emotion. It's learned. We must learn to let go of that emotion.
It isn't healthy.

I admire those who love themselves completely.

There are so many types of jealousy that could arise in life. I feel as if some of us are picking and choosing which ones to focus on. Some professional, some aesthetic, etc. Jealousy is just as human as sadness, anger or happiness. And just as those emotions, different occasions or settings can bring different degrees or variations of envy.

Again, this circles back to how the emotion has gained such a bad rep (Understandably so). It's all about how we manage EVERY emotion. I just happened to pick one.

Jealousy in a relationship is a waste of time. Find somebody else to control with your insecurities cause it damn sure won't be me, faggot.

As far as me being jealous of someone else...I stopped giving those kinds of thoughts any attention a while ago. I'm not aligning my success with someone else's and I'm not in any contest.

I'm just kinda staying in my lane  :jetbeauty:

I can't agree that jealousy is learned.

For instance:

Sibling rivalry, which is very common, results from degrees of jealousy and competition. We are not taught by our parents to compete against one another. However, there is an innate want of acceptance by those who have bore and raised us. When we feel that's in danger, or a sibling is getting more of that (even though many times its not even the case), we feel envy. As humans.
