Are people jealous of sense of freedom some people naturally own?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yesterday my new friend told me that I show vibrant sense of freedom in everything I do and she believes some girls feel jealous in my presence, because I radiate differently.

She’s a girl herself, so It was a very high compliment coming from her.

Yes, because people are so held back by so much within their social bubble; they conform to what those around them deem to be cool/popular. They have to act, dress, speak in ways that they feel will make them socially accepted by the herd. So, imagine how they feel when someone comes along that plays by their own rules. I have no doubt that their internal dialog sounds something like this: "Hey, wait a minute. She can't do that! Who does she think she is? We all fall in line -- that's how all of this works." I've dealt with people like that before. I'm different, I do me & they can't stand it.

I've often been told in a positive way people envy the position I've put myself in that displays ambition, control, and freedom.

I've actually been told that very often but it's ironic to me because I don't feel that way. I still feel trapped in a sense, each time I move on to the next thing it seems I'm restricted to a new box.

Perspective is an interesting thing

Yep is can be jealous of being having freedom and having confidence l I don’t get be independent because I got a learning disability and my mum always take me to social events and also come with me with I had a date with a guy. I’m jealous of guy getting freedom and get to be independent and be on their own without having mother with you.

I use my freedom and, by default, expect others to do the same. I have never met anyone jealous because of that... but I have met some people who tried to restrain others' freedom... I'm not sure if the reason was jealousy or controlling mentality

[LaurenM1997]

They are jealous and want to be like you but you are doing a great job don’t let them get to you

[LaurenM1997]

She’s jealous

[DrPepper12]

Yes!!! people want and are attracted to what you exhibit. To NGAF what others think is a unique (and VERY attractive trait). Don't change!!

[Unit1]

Envious yes, obviously. But not jealous.

Quite envious that is. Except i don't wish to take it away from them.

[NathanDavis]

yep... I've seen it

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Why would someone be jealous of that though?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

It’s nothing material

[NathanDavis]

freedom, confidence, genuineness... happiness...

all these can be way way way more valuable than materialistic possessions

and also, that kind of "free spirit" kind of life is not easy to achieve at all... not everyone can afford it, on top of that... many people do resent their circumstances, being limited, being pressured or having to do things they do not really want to do but have to

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

These are nice words.

[sawno]

Considering I find that attractive she may be intimidated since you are such an appealing girl.

[sawno]

And its also gonna be a conforming thing. We are NFJ's so this is in our nature. We just are ourselves and structure our lives authentically. If they try to stick to other peoples social norms they would feel jelous you dont seem to have to do that.

[sawno]

All I can say to it is lead by example and set them free.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Of course they are. It's sad but true...

[FenixG45]
