Sometimes jealousy can drive you to improve yourself or it can have negative affects also.

Nicely done.

So using that jealousy you became committed to improving yourself. This kind of friendly competition can be fun and beneficial.

I have been jealous before, many time. One time is when I got no attention for a whole day because my sisters were getting it all. It’s like I was invisible. It mad me mad but I didn’t do anything about it. It’s life, you move on and get over it.

You could have spoken up and said something so that it doesn't happen again.

I don’t really get jealous. I can imagine it makes you feel like you’re not good or cool enough. I wouldn’t really do anything about it though, I’m a just do my own thing.

Once in fourth grade, I was jealous of other people getting too close with my two friends, and how that prevented them from spending time with me during the day. I felt hurt and that my friends didn’t want to be my friend. The only thing I did was put myself into their group and try to be with them, and that led to me opening up a little and being friends with their friends.
Robyn

I don’t think that they didn’t want to be your friend, they just wanted to be friends with other people as well

I wouldn’t consider myself a jealous person, but I would consider myself a protective person. There is a difference between the two. Being jealous is wanting something you can’t have and being protective is making sure that something that is already your stays yours.
Kayla

I never thought about it like that. I am very protective also.
Katelyn

I see myself as more protective than jealous, especially towards my friends. I just haven’t been very jealous of anyone for years.
Jennifer

I don’t think I’ve ever been jealous of another person. Maybe like Jennifer Aniston or Jennifer Lopez because they’re flawless and I can’t even compare yet I am stuck with that name, it is rough.
Aimee

What about Jennifer Lawrence?
Jennifer

Her too, and Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Hudson. Way to make me feel worse, Aimee.

Celebrities are super easy to be jealous of, they are pretty but most of the time it is just editing.
Aimee
9/27/2018 10:07:47 am
I don’t really get jealous of others. Sometimes I’ll get jealous of really fit or pretty people on Pinterest but I don’t really do anything about it because 90% of those people are super edited.
Jennifer

I used to be a jealous person, I found that it is a waste of my energy. If I’m not enough for something then I’m not going to force a change to make myself feel better. I’ll just leave it alone and walk away, which will ultimately make me feel greater than fixing it.
Katelyn

I’m like that now. I was more jealous as a kid but now I’m more nonchalant about everything around me.
Kelsey

It’s great that you have grown into the person you are now. Everyone deserves to understand their worth. Through understanding our worth we become accepting of ourselves and we don’t feel jealousy anymore.

I don’t really get jealous. I just mind my own business and don’t care what others think.
Nutt

Minding your own business is good.
Alexis Anderson
9/27/2018 10:12:55 am
I definitely don’t care what people think too, it makes my life peaceful.

I realize that people aren’t even worth it if they don’t want to be in your life you don’t need to fight to be in their’s.

I’m sorta jealous sometimes that my sister is so frickity frackin pretty and talented but that’s about it. I don’t do anythIn because first of all, I there’s nothing I can do and second of all I’m not gonna be a douche to someone (especially my sister) for being slightly jealous.
Sarah

I was jealous when I got kicked off the varsity cross country team by a bunch of freshmen. I got really pissed off that day and I still am. But now I just practice harder to get back on the team.

I’ve gotten jealous over my little sister many times because she gets her way a lot. It makes me feel left out and not welcome as a part of the family sometimes. Most of the time I talk to my dad about it because he doesn’t think it’s fair that she gets whatever she wants all the time.

Well I don’t get jealous because what people get or have they worked hard for it to get it, so what they accomplished is there’s I don’t get jealous but I will try to get some kind of thing by working or another way.

I was once jealous of a teammate because they were given my position. Yes, I was upset but I came to terms coach put me in a different position for a reason and I ended up getting crazy good blocks and coach explained to me that I was moved for blocks.

Sometimes being jealous can pay off in a good way.

My kung fu instructors rely on me for a lot of things especially when one or both of them are gone. This last year I my injury got so bad that I wasn't able to participate in most of the activities or be as helpful. One of the other kids stepped up. I'm glad he did it but it was hard to see my instructors give him so many of my job. I felt like I was being replaced and I was jealous that they were starting to talk on him more.
