How Jealous Are You

Are you jealous

Does it interrupt your life

I went through a whole phase where I was utterly consumed by jealousy and it made me into such a nasty person that I couldn't get on with my own life and be happy

Do you have a case of the green eyed monster

Yes, I'm known to get jealous of other people. I don't act hostile towards them though, but I used to when I was a child and early teens. As a child I could be sulky and jealous if there were too many other children round my house and I felt attention-starved. Then when I got to adolescence I became quite jealous of my siblings, especially my sister.

As an adult I often feel jealous of NTs for being NTs but I think it's just due to insecurity and not being comfortable in my own skin and wanting to be someone else. But as I'm getting older I've noticed that you don't have to have ASD to have issues or insecurities and that more people have their own troubles without us realising. There's a guy at work who seems NT but sometimes I don't know with him. He seems deeply obsessed with politics and religion, and if he hears something he doesn't like on the news he can become angry and aloof. He also seems like he gets depression or has some other issues going on in his life. But it doesn't necessarily mean ASD. People without ASD can be unhappy too, and I've got to remember that. I still do wish I was never diagnosed in childhood though, as the label has always been more of a hindrance than the disorder itself. I'll just have to find the prick who forced my parents into getting me assessed and slap him in the face. That might offer some closure.

Jeolousy.....better experienced at younger age . As you age ,it seems that just doesn't help anything when you start to age. Emotional energy is still energy. And Having extra energy , seems to be more important than jeolousy .

Nope.

Well, jealousy is a very rare emotion for me.
So, so rare, it happened only like... Barely 5 times at most.
And, basically all of 5 times in childhood/teenage years, and even including online matters.


Nah, it doesn't really interrupt my life.
I don't have anything to be jealous of as an adult.

While there are stupid bits I thought, did and said on behalf of that, it's nothing of consequence -- mostly because I was basically a kid.

It was only a short phase but it did interrupt my life

I found myself in contest with someone I didn't even know because of it

I'm glad I got over that I can tell you

Not at all. I never "compete" with other individuals. What's the point with "being better" or "better off" than that particular person when you know there are other "better ones" out there anyway? Besides that, I prefer to watch and learn as the stupidest guy in a smart group, rather than being the smart one surrounded by a bunch stupids.

It was when I was in a relationship years ago and nearly everywhere we went all anyone did was talkabout my partner's ex. I mean she was/is a really lovely person and far too good for my ex but it did get to me for a short while

I'm not ashamed of it. Its a perfectly normal human emotion and I'm encouraged to look at these things

It seems to me that jealousy is an unwillingness to share, whereas envy is a desire to share.

I'm rarely jealous but constantly envious.

I don't think I'm that jealous. I do not really care or pay much notice to others having things I don't or being better off than me in life or various other things. The exception is when people get majorly ahead by using underhanded tactics like theft, lying, blackmail, & bullying, & such. Basically I don't like people in power using that power to put others down.

However when it comes to romantic relationships I do have some behaviors that might could get interpreted as jealousy without understanding the motives behind them. I'm very protective of my romantic partners & I like to know what they're doing & I like spending lots of time with them. I'm OK with them having other interests/hobbies & spending time with friends regardless of the friend's gender as long as I know her friends are decent people & my partner is OK.

I don't experience envy. I do think some people may not 100% deserve what they have, but it's not like I deserve it instead.

I think jealousy is natural. "I wish I had what they had..." but envy is a horrible emotion. The less anyone experiences it, the better. I'm lucky to not deal with it.

I am not jealous at all. I do my best and accept whatever may come.
