Jealousy and being envious. What do you think is the difference between the two?

Is jealousy caused by a need to control another person?
A lack of self confidence?

Is envy caused by greed?
By not being grateful for the things we have?

What do you think? wave

I guess we do to some degree.......a lil tinge and I mean a microscopic tinge of jealousy in a loving relationship keeps people on their toes and not take them for granted me thinks wave
But yeah how we deal with it is the most important thing of all thumbs up
I've seen people do some horrific things in the name of jealousy thumbs down

Jealousy is caused by a lot of things. Sometimes it's warranted. I see girls with boyfriends who flirt constantly and then when their guy gets jealous they say they hate it. lol those are head games.

I think it's human nature for anyone to occasionally get a little envious of something a person has or accomplished, but being excessively envious is not healthy..The same thing applies to someone being jealous over a spouse, but if jealousy is taken too far it is self destructive to yourself and also to your partner..

Jealousy to me has always been based on a personal level where envy was related more to materialistic things. So basically what you said tinylaugh doh

tinypixie: Great way of putting it dodge babe,
Jealousy and envy go hand in hand,
But jealousy tends to bring out the vicious instincts in us where as envy tends to bring out the slyness in us?


Websters says they are the same thing just worded differently but I think what you mean is why or how far does someone take it or why do they do it? I think every human has felt envy or jealousy at least once in their life..A lot of people would never admit it though..Its when you carry it too far is when it becomes a problem.

Like at the gym I GO TO...they reserve only a small section of the gym for POWERLIFTERS.
The owners say its for business purposes because they want to attract a certain clientele..

Total nonmsense..I joke about it with the boys sometimes..I mean..it doesn't look good when you're squatting 10 times the amount of the CEO of a certain company and his lady friends...did it once to piss him off...and he went crying to the owner..roll eyes

Jealous f.uck.

As stated earlier,this subject has been touched on recently.But both stem from a negativity that can have a large effect on your present and future. Both emotions only slightly effect me in the real world because I am quite content to take the view of what will be will be.You can not change peoples perception of you and it is a damaging and negative emotion to want to change someones perception of someone else.
I find that those who have a lot of trust and belief in themselves are much less likely to be prone to the worst excesses of both envy and jealousy.
