PS. I don't think threatening to beat someone up comes under the category of psychoses in The Diagnostic And Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

Laura25: unit?


Yes, SI unit.

If jealousy is a scientific term it should either be quantifiable, or defined at the very least.

If you have no definition, or means of quantifying the term jealousy, you're going to get different interpretations of the word by you contributors.

If you get different interpretations of the word jealousy, then you can't claim that some people don't feel "it", whatever "it" may be.

What I'm saying is that you've emotionally loaded your question right from the start, so you'll limit some people from answering.

Some people may not feel jealousy in terms of their interpretation of the word, or maybe your interpretation of the word and may decline from commenting for fear of being called a liar and being accused of having jealousy issues.

hi

not sure exactly what you are referencing in the past thereconfused

i will fight to keep a friend who is leaving under a veil of misunderstanding and deceptions fed them by another but thats not jealousy thats striving for clarity

thats not wanting to lose a friend especially over untruths and gossip

if you are thinking i fought with anyone for my husband
thats not true in the least

we were all 3 friends- they met as planned- no spark. nada.
i know this to be true because she told me 'nothing happened' and so did he, separately, at the time.
after 4 months of not exchanging so much as a word with 'her',
he asked if we could broaden our friendship-

later we ended up married-

i wouldnt feel jealous even if they 'did it'giggle

i mean that would be none of my business, and in the end
she made such a spectacle of herself i neednt worry about him going back for more if he had ever had it at all.

frightfulwow uh oh

so yeah. no. what youve seen here is not jealousy but alarm and sadness at people storming out under a despicable misconception planted by someone for who knows what reasonroll eyes

wimmens is crazydoh but sure i fought for it-i valued that friendship very much moping

Unit? LOL!

I personally can conclude from the ways people behave in certain situations, their reaction is a direct result of their emotional state.



And it seems to me that I am the one who pressed the roll eyes wrong button here. smile



BTW, do you need a unit to know whether you (or people close to you) are sad, or angry, or happy, etc.? If you truly feel that you do, then consider this: if someone is having emotion without the corresponding behavior, then you may consider the degree of their emotion not to be all that essential.


But it's not the case with people we are talking about here...

both: in OP and in a following thread (in majority).

The corresponding behavior is way too pronounced to be mistaken here. thumbs up

Nope, no free consultations are available.

You can look it up in the above mentioned Manual.

Learning from you here, E! wave

trying to save space for a (possibly) dozen other posts.

Your point is well taken.

But this part I gotta quote!

quote: "i wouldnt feel jealous even if they 'did it' giggle "


Only quoting it 'coz them

'doing it' sounds exciting to me!

The best part, no matter what. grin laugh

I dont need to consult a "Manual" to know when I'm feeling sad, happy, bitter, joyous, OR jealous.

Like political correctness, this "analysing" emotions has gone too far, in my opinion. If we are honest with ourselves, we most of us know when we are feeling something, and don't need anyone else to confirm it for us.

No one could deny this feeling, as although we try to deny it, but it always penetrate in our brain & blood, bring to our head many headaches, always throw us in to the depressed mood without any confidence, our nights full of nightmares, losing all our concentration in work, while talking with the boss, your mind fly to somewhere, cant not finish the work effectively, we always feel like a loser in front of anyone, sometimes nearly lose all control of ourself. People dont deny this feelings, but are too scared to fall in to this jealous feelings, it is really the hell if u are in jealous feeling.

That's how intelligent person approaches it. wine

First recognition, then dealing with the emotion/feeling in a mature positive manner,

and then moving on with ones' lives (preferably as a couple).

Kudos. rose


It's not this natural human emotion per se,

but denial that can lead to accumulation of negative feelings, then it becomes dangerous in terms of assaultive behavior.

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?
Popcorn?




i agree....jealousy is a normal emotion like happiness, sadness, anger, etc.
