Yes i feel sometimes.When i am in school i used to fight for the top rank and used to feel very jealous when the other got it.And not only that sometimes i felt jealous when my friends who are very poor than me got jobs before me. Is it natural to feel like that or it happens only with me.

I too feel jealous sometimes when my hubby praises any girl.It is very natural .It happens to everyone.But some accept it boldly and others hide it and tells that its very bad thing and you have to control it.Inspite We all know that it is bad we sometimes feel it.

Well I am not so a jealous person. There are two types of jealousy: Good Thought Jealousy and Bad Thought Jealousy. Good Thought is harmless but Bad Thought Jealousy is unhealthy.

no, there no good jealous and when you jealous you all the same feel both badly yourself and this person also can. This is a bad thing and it's not right to say : I have good (white) jealous. These people just lazy, that's all

Don't know if it's 'correct,' but it's human. It's natural to want things, and if you see someone else with those things you tend to want them for yourself, and feel jealous. It's only a problem if it becomes a preoccupation.

I dont think it is unnatural. But is it helping you in anyway. If it is making you restless then you should try to shed this thought.

Almost everyone come across such situation in life.But there is a difference between a jealous person and the normal person. A normal person do get jealous feeling, but he won't be in the same feeling for a long time; he would take necessary steps to achieve those;if he is not able to achieve that he will be satisfied with what he has. But jealous person won't take any steps to achieve; instead he will develope inferiority complex; he starts to find problems with others.

when you jealous it means that you want something but don't have and think may be that you can't. You must think that you're not worse than other people, you also have opportunities,etc. and even if you haven't then it's better to think so - I asked God about strengs and he gave me problems to become stronger. And don't wait for praisings, this is a narcotic. You must praise yourself, that's all. Also remember that if we all were similar it would be boring. But if you want change something you must work with it, that's all. And you're not alone in this...With me it was very awfully but now I nearly got rid of this :-). Good luck
