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.

not sure exactly what you are referencing in the past there
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'
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.
frightful
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 reason
wimmens is crazy but sure i fought for it-i valued that friendship very much
jac379: Sorry pressed wrong button, that meant to include:
What's the SI unit for jealousy?

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 wrong button here.
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.

Laura25: lol! Ever heard of symptoms?
jac379: Yes, I've heard of symptoms, but can you explain what you mean in this context, please?
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.
