Jealousy (271)
morgan5: hello, I can only speak for myself and my experience and it wasn't my imagination, but not an emotion I liked and I would not put myself in that situation again
When it's not an imagination, no fun... Sorry you had this experience, Morgan,

OK, Boxers... 
Can you point out where exactly OP speaks of envy???

tightboxers: The OP.
Laura25:
My take on it:
if jealousy is caused
* by distrust (from either party), it's not a relationship I would want to be in;
* by suspicion or anger... blah... not something to look forward to either;
* by fear of losing an important person to an attractive other – I am familiar with this reason for jealousy too well; been on both - on giving and on the receiving ends of it (even though I am one of those who not likely to let it be known). But it's a constructive/good type I think. The type that actually preserves a relationship, not ruins it.
* uncertainty, and/or low self-esteem something both have to work on.Bottom line, IMO,
If you value your relationship, either friendship or love, I don't see how you can be completely free from this emotion.Some might agree, most won't.

Laura25: Jealousy is a normal human emotion.
Just like any other -- love, fear, sadness, joy, anger, etc., etc.
Why is that most CSers try so hard convincing each other
that they themselves never experience this *dirty* emotion and
don't want anything to do with those who do feel this emotion?
Hypocrisy?
Denial?

You are directly relating to the interaction in this forum of the sites posters,the way they interact with each other and how they wish to portay themselves within that and be seen by others.
The vast majority have never met each other and the bonds are not the same as in real life at all.
The emotion in that context is envy and not jealousy as I indicated in my previous posts.
Sorry to hijack your thread on the differences between the two.

Interactions in discussing their prior real life relationships. In multiple CS forums on multiple occasions.

Right.
BUT
every single CSer had prior real life relationships they could speak off.

Nope, jealous.
If *they* do it, the 3rd party is right to be threatened... If they do it right, I mean...

He defined the obvious, but the thread topic is jealousy not envy.
We can go on defining the difference between jealousy and other human emotions as well, and be right about it, but what for? What the purpose?
