Jealousy

[sobota]

"Jealousy is when you worry someone will take what you have. Envy is when you want what someone else has."

I am not a jealous person. I have nothing to give and therefore nothing anyone would want. I am however a very envious person. I envy people's happiness and their lives on a daily basis. I know it's horrible and an ugly emotion to keep harbouring but I honestly can't help it.

How do you deal with jealousy and envy? How do you keep it from consuming you?

Oh I don't keep it from consuming me. I let it fester and then release it in a boiling flow of irritation and misery. But seriously, my main remedy for most things is to sleep it off.

I am not really jealous either - I am also envious like crazy!

The most strange Habit of mine however is, when I have something that others would really envy or be jealous of .... I tend to Limit it down so they od notg et jealous.
How crazy is tht? Instead of being like "yeah I got something what you guys could be jealous of .... or what you can envy me for" .... I act like it is not that amazing and
nothing to go crazy over.

Instead of bathing in the fact that it is now my time to shine ... ya know.
So yes I am an evious Person too .... sleep does help yes?
