I hate jealousy. It's a terrible feeling and it's something can cause so many problems between people. It was one of the main problems between my ex-boyfriend and myself. My group of friends are split about even of girls/boys, so when I hung out with one of the guys, I'd be accused - which is strange because I'm 100% against cheating, and would never do it. But it's a feeling most people can't control. I'm not proud but I've gotten jealous but I've learned that it's best to try to think before you speak - and its best to try to not let it discourage your feelings. It's the green-eyed monster I think a lot of people wish didn't exist.

You have to try to stay optimistic. Being jealous can control a lot of ones feelings. You have to remind yourself, though, that you have a lot of great things about yourself, and that there are probably people who are jealous of you. One person may have something you wish you did - but the other person may think you have something they don't. Try not to let it control how you think - and stay positive of what you do have. You are worth more than negative thoughts.

I'm jealous. Jealous of people with succesful youtube accounts, although I just started. I'm jealous of goldglove, jericho, tmrtn, syndicate, they seem to have an awesome life being succesfull commentators. Tmrtn, jericho and goldglove live in a hous in los angeles, all 3 youtubers, all 3 commentators, seems perfect.

I'm jealous of the succes of other people.

But I will work hard for my channel, to make it a succesful.

Weird ain't it?

It really does. I've been jealous for most of my life. Then one night I woke up one night (literally - shot straight up after a nightmare) and I told myself I was worth more. I got tired of living the way I was.

Jealousy comes and goes. I'm currently jealous of others because they can be with someone they love whereas I'm in a state where I can't even talk to the person I love.


Optimism is a good way of keeping yourself active and happy, but it's not always long lasting. The fact is, sooner or later, that optimism will feel simply like a mask that will deteriorate and you will have to make a new one because reality has a way of melting optimism from people. It is a good mask and a good plaster to keep the wounds from bleeding, but they eventually peel off and you are either still bleeding or you have healed over time.

Br00tal, dont worry you're not the only person who gets down because of jealousy
i mean
im often jealous at people because they dont need to be me
know what i'm saying?
hope you dont, if you do, i think it'd be bad
Im actually pretty jealous of you tbh

My ex used to enjoy messing with my head this way. Used to enjoy making me jealous on purpose because he liked the attention and liked feeling like people "wanted" him in a sense. At the time I thought it was all me, being ridiculous and I used to try to justify the things he did in my mind, which made me feel the bigger idiot and made things worst for me emotionally. Best thing he ever did for me was get tired of me. Now I've had time to reflect since and know not to ever go into a relationship if jealousy is factor for anyone. It's just not worth it and shouldn't even be an issue if love plays a part at all.

I suffer from this too. Less now than before... because just like anger, jealousy will eat you alive in time.

Thanks for telling this... I was wondering what's up with you. Try get up that hole, dude... D: Only you can climb up.

I'm not the type of person that is jealous, nor angry. I consider it one of my gifts to retain a certain calmth in my mind where others would rage indefinitly.
But where others would be jealous I usually get myself down instead.
Which is probably why I used to be rather depressed. But being in the deepest valley makes you see how good things you always considered usual can be.
Does that make sense? o_0

I'm jealous that the butt muffins over in the US get the really nice Oreo cookies, while we here in the UK get some kind of abomination replica called an Oreo. I mean what the feck gives?!

I don't get jealous and people who do are generally greedy, selfish people. Jealousy is about not being grateful for the things you have and because you want good things to just fall on your fat, entitled lap. Jealousy comes from the area inside us that isn't happy for the people around us and because we want to be just as appreciated as those who have gained it through hard work and dedication. Even the people who surpass you gained that success for a reason. Sure it sucks to see it but they achieved it because people saw that success within them. You should be happy for them just like they would be happy for you.

BTW is this to do with your channel?

I remember when I was in my final year of university and achieved a First Honours in Game Design, while a lot of my friends got a 2:1 or lower. I knew a lot of them were jealous of me and probably didn't feel I deserved it but in the end the people who allowed me to achieve such an honour saw something in my work and ability that allowed me to go far. Now sure I didn't know much about the games industry and how a 3D model worked within a game but I was able to achieve success because I am a damn good artist. I know deep down that no one has the right to say I didn't deserve it because hell they don't know me that well to see the sheer love and pain behind the scenes that I put into my work. Hell, a lot of my friends put in just as much dedication into what they did as I did but still didn't get graded as good.

Now this goes with the saying "Quality over quantity" sure they put more time in but did the work show for it? I guess not. If you aren't achieving what you expect then you are probably doing something wrong and need to step back and look at the bigger picture and thus make your next move from there. Work can always be improved upon, even the best of work has a fault.

I honestly get jealous too easily.
Just today I was going to hang out with this girl, we both like each other, so I was
pretty excited to hang out with her for the weekend.
So just today we were walking out of school and she told me she was hanging out with her sister instead.

Not only was I a bit mad she blew me off I was jealous of her sister.

I wanted to have a fun weekend too :[

You should try and chat up both of them. Two sisters in one...stone? or something :p Ok, don't use a stone that is the bad way of getting a partner :p
