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?
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:
Good job lil sis. :wub: I agree.

Remembering how wonderful and blessed you are is a perfect antidote for these moments.

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.

I don't know how I would handle it in a relationship now. I imagine the same way I do in any other instance.

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.

I've never been jealous....of anything. But naturally it's ok to be jealous in a relationship....I think people are afraid of losing something naturally so yea jealously is normal
