Jealous stuff

[Okiedokes]

Have you ever had somebody jealous of you because they liked your guy/girl?

Have you been the jealous person in said scenario?

How would you react, and for the jealous person...what could one do to make it better for you to accept it?

Hi!

People will always be jealous. ALWAYS! .. and there is nothing you or anyone can do to 'stop/ease' jealously.. it is an evil... all you can do is try to ignore it, really.

What I like to do when I know somebody is plotting jealously against me... is act the heck up! I let them have it! in more ways than one.
you know what they say about deaf girls..... and you can believe every bit is true!!

Yeah I figure ignoring it is probably best. I can accept a female friend of who I'm with as long as they are nice to me but that hasn't always happened so I just want them far away from me.

Can answer the second bit - I have been a little bit envious of people who have someone in their life every now and then.

I usually try to express this in a positive way, such as by saying something like "X is a good guy/girl, I think you make a sweet couple." or "You're really lucky to have someone like X" if it's clear things are going well for them, and I won't cause upset by saying that.

It's sort of nice to turn a rather ugly emotion into something that makes others feel happier in their relationships! Heh.

Hell, I've even talked to guys who have had the confidence to get together with girls I have liked but never made a move towards and congratulated them on their happiness.

It stings a bit at the time, but I think it's better to be gracious like that than be bitter in the long term, it's not like that gets you anywhere other than further isolation.

^ that is very good to do. The power of positive thinking..gotta love it. It can be hard but so worth it.

In both situations I don't like to say a word and avoid the jealous person or person who made me jealous till I'm over it.
