Are you jealous?

[ginayang]

In the Rage of Achilles, Agamemnon is jealous of Achilles because the gods love him and he's a great warrior. Have you ever been jealous of someone? What happened? Did you treat that person badly like Agamemnon?

I'm not the type of person to express my jealousy but I have always been jealous of Grace for scoring most of the goals in our soccer games. She can put a goal in without anyone assisting her. And I never treated her badly because I respect her and want to be like her.

Yes, Grace was really good. As a soccer player who did the attack thing with her, I probably felt more jealous than you. But our team and I can't win without her. So I didn't treat her badly. I even passed the soccer to her when I was just in front of the soccer door. Because I trusted her more than myself in the soccer game.

i think there are different types of jealousy. i am personally not a jealous type. And if i ever do have my jealousy moments, i dont really show it?, i guess that when that jealous moment comes, i just think in my head "theres nothing to be jealous of" and think before i say anything. but i think that as time has gone by, sometimes jealousy could increase. also, i personally dont think that i start hating on the person if im jealous or not, but then again, it depends on the situation.

I do definitely get jealous at times. I mean, isn't jealousy basically wanting something that you don't have? I don't think that jealousy is a bad thing, just when it turns into envy does it become bad. I am jealous when people have things better then me... but I don't go out and hate on them for having it, I just wish i had it, like just a little feeling. I don't really mind or care, its just i think to myself for a moment "oh, i want that"

i would feels jealous in my way which is dancing, if i see someone who is the same age as me a is better dancer than me, i feel jealous and competetive against that person. But i dont have any bad feeling toward that person

[jinwooprk]

As a human being, I 've always had jealousy towards other people, but never the type of jealousy I want to treat that person badly or anything. I looked upon that person and tried myself to be like that person. At some point, I admitted that there is always people better than me at anything I do and decided not to compare myself to others because even though it motivates me to work harder, at some point, it hurts my fellings.

I'm going to go out on a leap here and say that no one is immune to jealousy. Jealousy is a human emotion like any other; you can label it as a sin or as a motive for competition but it happens to everybody. Some people aren't as jealous as others but it does happen. And to answer the question I have been jealous soo many times but for some reaosn I cant think of an example.

Every year, in the beginning of the school year, there was always one teammate that trying to make me jealous and convince me that there will be some new students that would bench me and replace my position as a midfielder/striker on the pitch. Well i was kind of worried about that, but i thought about it, and i thought that it would be great if someone better than me play in our team because i dont want my teammates depending on just me, because im not that good and theyre better than me~

I believe that everyone has felt jealousy at least once in their lifetime. Likewise, I have had a situation where I felt jealousy toward my older sister. To be honest, she is better than me at studying and therefore, she is the one that gets the pat on the shoulders and is loved much more than I am by our parents. Although I dont feel jealous for this anymore since I believe that everyone can be different, when I was younger, I was full of jealousy that I often hated my sister and was mean to her.

I think I was jealous of my brother. Its a good thing that it wasn't a sister. My brother is kind of a science and math person so he is good at it. On the other hand, I hate both of those subjects and it takes me a long time to understand the concept of it. He was also good at using his time efficiently. He would do his homework right away when he came home, which is impossible for me. I'm always jealous of these kinds of people!
I didn't treat him badly though. My parents never treated me different from him so I just tried to be a better daughter by buying presents to my parents and spending more time with them. I have a closer relationship with my parents so I think my brother might be jealous for that..?!!

I have two younger siblings and each of them has a very different unique talent. My sister is a natural athlete, since she has exceeded in multiple sports, such as figure skating, diving, and soccer. My brother is highly logical and has a good sense of memory, and overall, he is a quick learner. Just to see my siblings have abilities that I lack make me feel jealous often. So yeahh... haha

[jinseong]

I think I always lived my life with having that jeolousy within myself. I always tried to find out what i am not good at, or what i wanted to have and then I started to compare with others who makes me want to be just like them. Even though I knew that people are always different, I just couldn't stand myself being weaker than others in anything I do.

[cathysjun]

I was sometimes jealous of my little sister because she seemed to be good at stuff that I wasn't that good at. But I still love her.

[sujeonggg]

Yes. I do feel jealous of others. But I always try to think of my strengths rather than just envy the things/tratis that others have. Of course this is what I think right now as a grown up kid, and I was a jealous girl when I was little. So when I was really young, my mom asked me if I want any younger sister/brother. But I said I want to be an only child because I don't want to share my parent's love with siblings. I guess I even felt jealous of inexistent siblings back then ;D

I think it is normal thing to be jealous. I feel jealous when people have something that I want. I think everybody feels that though. Its like really abnormal if you're not. I don't think its a bad thing to be unless your actions are affected by your jealousy. As long as you don't do anything bad to the person you are jealous of, then it doesn't matter.
