How often do you find yourself experiencing Jealousy or Envy?

Question

Friendlybro79 · Accepted Answer

Very little. It's a waste of time in my opinion. I'm just happy for people that are in better situations or genuinely in a good place.

DrPepper12 · Accepted Answer

Rarely. Wasteful pernicious emotion. It only harms the possessor.  Jealousy is just an offshoot of anger.

aceleon · Answer

only people i ever envied in my life was guys who were tall, because i'm 5'10 and my father is 6'1, as a kid i always dreamed of one day i would stand side by side with him being as big as him.

now that dream is no longer possible without the unnecessary surgeries that fucks you up. so i kind of envy guys who are at least as tall as my father, more because they will never tressure it in the way that i do, it is a childhood dream unaccomplished.

Only once wrt to work. According to a female pyschologist at Melbourne University it is more a female emotion and men are more inclined to think good luck to him, he worked for his success. Women are more inclined to be envious of other women's success and for it to make them feel really bad.

@thegreenyogi I'm only human - yet most days I try to treat life like "an amusement park, 🎡🎢 waking up bright eyed and bushy tailed, as if I already am a king, without knowing I am or actually power tripping" + just another everyman

Nik1hil · Answer

Haven't felt it in Years, Around 20yr age , It's just My brain Comprehends how Vaste this Universe and How fleeting and Destructible Everything is..

If someone has something, than that Someone is Also At Risk of Losing that Something, and That Losing that Something can Destroy him in the Process.. Once you Learn to Detached.. Feelings like Jealous and Envy Look Puny!

During a month it's random. Driving by vehicles on a lot and seeing the newer models or seeing an older pickup that's been restored.

Being at work or the range or gun shop and seeing the newer models or seeing someone else having a one that is way nice and want to check it out or the reviews make you want to see if it's as good as they say it is.

HawkPerception · Answer

I'm jealous of people who get to travel often to locations I want to travel to, live off grid or experience van life full time. They're out there living my dream.

jazzy34 · Answer

Never. People put on a good front in front of others, but I don't know what their life is life behind closed doors. For all I know, their life could be worse than me.

Envy as a young teen, but that was short-lived.

Never. I'm not really emotional, most emotions are played and real ones are too short.

Not that often, but it happens from time to time... If I see some guy with a really hot girlfriend, I might experience jealousy. If I see a rich guy with a really cool car, I might experience envy.

Shiprex · Answer

Not 9ften as contentment is something that satisfies me.

Staximus · Answer

It usually only happens when I see some guy driving a really nice car from the 30's, 40's, 50's, or 60's

Rarely, it’s not worth my energy to worry about something I have no control over

dragoblack · Answer

I definitely have jaded envy, but its a fleeting thought that i don't act upon, because its a wast of time and energy to do so.

Quite often when younger. Not now. I don't care and I'm content with what I am and have.
