How do you feel when someone tries to make you jealous?

[Anonymous]

I think it’s petty and annoying especially when it’s a guy trying to make me jealous, it’ll just make me think less of them.

[rjroy3]

99% of the time I feel positive about it, because it's purely because they care about you and feel very strongly. Only ever had one time where a girl tried to make me jealous and it bothered me. She decided she was going to make me jealous by using my best friend. If she was legitimately attracted to my friend or had some feelings for him that would be one thing. But she manipulating his emotions and feelings for her as a way to get back at me, which was truly fucked up. That's what bothered me. He and I ended up arguing over it and I had to put him on ice for awhile.

I was just like, If you want to get your dick wet with her that's fine. But don't let her bullshit effect our friendship. I would have been 100% fine with him fucking her and having a good time, then just never talking about her. But she had a plan and he fell into it. The moment she found out I wasn't talking to him OR her anymore she dropped him and he came back around 2 weeks later telling me I was right. She owned up to it months later what she did. *shakes head*

For someone to spend their time and effort to make me feel inferior or jealous of them is such a waste of time when I'm content where I stand. Instead of them degrading someone to make themselves feel better, they should try to be the better person and improve upon their faults and flaws. They'd only do this to gain attention; to feel like they have life better than you when in reality, it's probably the opposite. This is childish behavior and a cowardly way to show their insecurities even without saying a word. In all honesty, if they feel the need to make you jealous, why not talk with them about why feel so weak and insecure to see what possible solutions are available? Sometimes all people need is a good reminder from someone about what they're doing and see what they can do to become a better person!

[Silver158]

agree with this so much. Usually people who try to make you jealous of them are childish and usually jealous of you.

[Before_I_Fall]

It gives me a reason to stop liking the guy. I just find all this jealousy drama really tiresome. Who’s got the time for all this unnecessary drama?

[Asker]

Exactly

[Anonymous]

Just think to myself ‘at least they’re trying. Means they give lots of shit’. Then i feel good instead lol

[Asker]

Haha I like this!

[Joshua22]

Makes me annoyed at them to be honest like if you like how good so and so looks or how this guy's so good at something go be with them I don't wanna feel inferior to someone else's preferences so if you like someone else leave me alone because I don't like to share my partners lol like they can have male friends they can go see male friends but I don't want to hear compliments about them that insinuate something else in an attempt to get a jealous reaction, get the fuck out of here with that shit XD

[serious]

Nothing to feel here. I don't waste my time on feelings. I don't waste my time on " Jealousy".

However to answer your question, if someone did try to make me jealous, even if I have doubt that they are trying to do that, then that person would be out of my life forever. I would block them, block their contact. I simply have no time, no patience to deal with such people. Simple!.

Hence those mind games will never work on me.

[ShortCircuit]

It automatically makes that girl ineligible for a relationship with me. It's incredibly childish, and I never want to be made to feel as though I have to compete for my partner's affection. I wouldn't even give her a chance after she did that, because I could already see where that relationship is going.

[Rashad]

I lose respect in them, and the more they do it. The more distant I grow from them, making someone jealous is also making them insecure.
If you are in a relationship where you are being suppressed and feeling insecure! I would recommend leaving that relationship.

[Celq532]

Assuming that someone is not already my girlfriend and she ain't doing it for laughs - then no it doesn't work on me. I see it as a immature because if you like me just tell me or ask me out for a date. If you want to be in a relationship with me yet you can't even communicate with me clearly, then the relationship ain't going to work is it.

[Anonymous]

Ah this one makes me laugh! There would've been a point in life where it would get to me. But now I just give it no reaction whatsoever, the person trying it just wants a rise out of your reaction. Simple way, just ignore it, they soon start spitting feathers. A prime example being a girl I friendzoned, tried making me jealous by going on about her "new love" *insert eyeroll*

[lernulo]

Less of her too, on my experience its good by short time, when you must decide, bad at medium long time, because you tend to look other people.
I have "used" it when a woman says " we will see" for a long time, or when I feel she is toying me instead of playing with me.

[xPurpleRosesx]

I am literally in it now.. it makes me confused and I always think that they are trying to tell me something indirectly

[Asker]

They’re probably not worth it

[xPurpleRosesx]

The biggest thing thats sucks the most is because he knows I like him and probably knew the answer of it aswell

[Asker]

Whats he doing to make you jealous?

[xPurpleRosesx]

He is going on vacation to spain at a place that is known for partying, alcohol and tons of hook ups.. I asked if he was gonna get loose. His answer "Can't promise if I will behave" I just answered "okay" which he replied "Jealous?" And he insisted to know my answer

[Asker]

Oh gosh how annoying I bet you could do so much better

[xPurpleRosesx]

I am an overthinker and now I am wondering if he likes me too bv of this tbh

[Asker]

Hm I think he might

[xPurpleRosesx]

Do you think so?

[Asker]

Pm me if you want we can talk some more :)

[talltom94]

I assume you're referencing someone who you're interested in/is interested in you? It makes me a bit jealous at first obviously, but then when I think about it, it's pathetic, immature and makes me realise how shit of a person they are, and then I move on from them because I don't want to be with someone who purposefully tries to make me jealous.

[ImSoSquishy]

if that someone is a friend then i'll feel like that someone has a crush on me and i'll ask "do you have a crush on me?"

if that someone is my S/O then i'll ask her "do you feel insecure? do you need some assurance?"

[Sarisalive]

I think it's really stupid and I would not date someone like that. It's also immature. If they want my attention, they need to be a man about it and come and talk to me and tell me what they want for real

[MaryAnn210]

I think it shows a lot of insecurity and nees for atention... Also is very hard not to do it cause sometimes you like to show you are worthy of love and that your partner is not the only one that can see it...

[SupernovaV10]

It pisses me off. Jealousy is not a good thing in general. Slight jealousy occasionally is healthy because it reassures you how you feel about your partner if you have and doubts and likewise for your partner that you care (assuming they notice your jealousy). As long as it's unintentional. If they purposely try to make you jealous, that is really infuriating because honestly who likes being jealous? It's not a good feeling.

[annoguy19]

Well if they try to make me jealous, it means they want something they dont have. Most likely they want attention. So with that in mind i feel a bit sad for them because everyone needs attention. But i would be disappointed that they try it this way and i dont do a very good job to be on my good side.

[baelen7]

Yess exactly, i think less of them and i also pity them for trying to mock me with such childish and very immature acts like what are you doing 😂 i actually laugh at her attempts to make me jealous

[Asker]

Same haha

[niceguyantonio]

Ohhh my god, i have such a low self esteem that when they do that i just think they never like me in the first place and i feel like sheeeeeeeiiiit. I guess i understand that, why you would but my experience is that i just started 'flirting' with another chick and man that didn't work and made me feel like shit. Yeah i agree

[DevikaButts95]

I do open relationships, how the hell could they accomplish that? I guess jealousy by like "I get to go down on this girl, not you.", but like, I'll get my way then still. Lmao.

[Anonymous]

Would it be pretty shitty to go to great lengths to get with somebody? For example, be real nice and flirt, show interest etc. If she's in a rocky relationship, I'm talking make a female profile send messages to break them up make the guy look horrible. The whole time she doesn't know its actually you, then when its said and done, you look good. You sit and wait patiently and it clicks. None the wiser.

[MrNameless]

of course its shit

[Opinion Owner]

@MrNameless wonder if it works

[AbdKilani]

I think it is natural, it is more of a test of friendship than making someone jealous
For sure I would get jealous if you start talking about a guy but more I feel the need to keep my friend happy and that Is to make sure that the guy is okay

[randomp0tat0]

I think slight teasing can be ok, but once the person is going out of their way to do so, then it makes you feel insecure. And to be honest it’s kind of dickish to continue trying to make someone jealous.
