I've been jealous a few times. It's not an easy thing to deal with, especially if you're jealous of someone you actually care about.

I just try to remind myself that my friendship with that person is much more important than whatever it is I'm jealous about. I try to stay focused on what matters and what lasts.

Yeah, I have. I don't really recall doing anything specific about it though. I probably just felt sorry for myself.

In the long run, you play with the cards you were dealt. You can try to improve them (or yourself), but that's about it.

Yep, I bitched a lot, under my breath, and felt sorry for myself, moped, and smoked lots of pot and moped even more.

It was pointless, I finally quit - jealousy is even more stupid than guilt and worry - and that's saying something.

I have been jealous before, and I didn't like it very much, so I stopped being jealous.

:) I suppose that's all there is too it.

I once was jealous of this girl, because the guy I liked liked her. I made her life miserable. It later turned out that the guy we both liked was a jerk and we became best friends. I should have known that jerk had good taste in girls.

I've been jealous once or twice. Only because I thought my x-boyfreind liked my friend.

What did I do about it? I went home cring,hidding in my room. I would get up set at myself, thinking what i'm I doing wrong.

In my mind, there is a difference between jealousy, envy, & being territorial. I don't think have tendancies toward jealousy, however I have fleetingly envied others; that they take a two week vacation to some exotic island every year, or that she is able to effortlessly achieve such a deep tan (while I've had skin cancer).
However, I've been happy for others while feeling some envy.

Territorial- indeed I am in romantic relationships.

What I have done when I have felt envy is to reason that each & everyone of us has our own unique strengths & gifts.. & that includes me.

I don't think that I've ever been jealous but I have definitely been envious and I think there's a difference there.

Jealousy is really about personal relationships and feelings of trust and security. I've been fortunate enought to have always known where I stood and if a relationship ended it was because we had outgrown each other and not because one of had replaced the other.

I guess that I have been very lucky in that regard.
