Jealousy

A genuine question. Do you have a naturally jealous nature and do you admit to it? I dont have a jealous bone in my body. I have been on the receiving end and it hurts. I've read there is a jealous gene so perhaps I just dont have it.

Erm at times I can feel jealous, but I think only to a normal amount. It’s something I’m aware of also so sometimes I’ll notice and just check myself. Oh I’m feeling bad about her because I’m a little jealous of new new house being so lush. It certainly doesn’t affect my behaviour.

Is it possible to NEVER EVER feel jealous.

I know what you mean though op about those people who are chronically jealous. I don’t think that type of person has much insight though. My SIL is one.

I definitely 'never ever' feel jealous so perhaps it is a genetic disposition. I do have the worry gene but thats another topic.

You never feel jealous of anything or you never feel jealous involving a partner. I don't feel jealous when it comes to a man. I might feel jealous of the amazing figure or nice holiday/ home.

Op I don't have any jealousy in me at all either. Not for money, looks, health etc , nothing.

Seriously no. I'm genuinely happy for good people in all aspects of life.

Sometimes I feel jealous. I take it as a signpost that there is something I would like to achieve for myself - or some version of it - and I think about how I’m going to set about achieving it. Or else realising that to get it I’d have to give up something I value more, so accepting that I’m happy without it.

I think I was quite jealous as a teen actually.
