Is jealousy natural? Or is it just insecurity?

jealousy is pretty much natural.......if anyone says I am never jealous ,I guess he/she is not a human......yeah that means he is some kinda superman.......

constructive jealosy sometimes does good to people....it makes people more ambitious........but usually jealousy is negative....

I think insecurity is the result of being jealous.its not exactly jealousy

well I guess no one admits in public about being jealous.......but what I do is .......I admit to myself like.......'admit it,you are jealous'(thats a self -speech)well I do it when I think that I am being too jealous and I need a self-confession

so dont worry if you are jealous,coz its instinctive....

its leave is just as natural as its arrival........

just dont get jealosy get the better of you

,be confident and know that you can overcome it......

be cool!!!!!!cheers!!!

A constant and unwarranted jealousy is not good. It definitely shows that the person acting this way is insecure --whether it be in a relationship and it is geared toward their significant other or if they may show jealousy of a friend's accomplishments or someone that has "more" than they do.

If your guy is , say, constantly flirting with other women, or vice-versa, then some jealous feelings are a normal thing. As long as you both establish what bothers you and what "boundaries" you both feel are appropriate or inappropriate in your relationship, then it can be worked out through good communication.

I believe it is a little bit of both natural and insecurity. More insecurity than nature. I usually hide if I'm jealous, but not very well I might add.

True jealousy is as much a natural emotion as happiness & sadness, but the extreme jealous monster is 100% related to insecurity.

Insecurity is natural too and jealousy comes from insecurity. I do try to hide it when I'm jealous. Jealousy is an ugly thing to behold.

I try to hide it most of the time, because I feel like jealousy is a childish emotion, but there are some times that I can't hide it. I do think it all boils down to low self esteem although I hate to admit that.

I try to admit it. and in fact I'd rather think of it as envy when ever I can. But Jealousy in the way I think your talking about, is not a good sign. If the man your with shows a dominante side due to his jealousy. Means to me (now) that he does not trust me, he thinks of me as stupid enough not to know what I want, nor think I appreciate what I have, and that I'm not worthy of where I stand. If I say I am your's then you better believe it, and if you don''t? get out of my way, I deserve better. and am worth more than you have ever seen. lol

I've never heard anyone admit out loud they are jealous. Yes it is a feeling of insecurity. I hide it. If you show it, makes you look like an idiot.

Jealousy and insecurity are both natural.

So long as they don't control an individual's life, they're fine. They can be useful at times, in moderation.

Admit to your jealousy maybe it will help them go away. It's natural but if you take it to extremes it's insecurity.
