When I was young(er) I was quite jealous.
As I've gotten older, I find I'm not.
My opinion on what changed over the years...I realized that if I'm so unsure of someone's feelings about me, then I have no business being with that person.
Being jealous and untrusting just takes too much energy.
I like the peace of mind that comes with trust

Isn't it funny how you can always twist all positive traits into a negative?
I say independent, they say misantropic loner.
I say self-confident, they say narcissistic git.
I'm often misunderstood.

(7,515 posts)It's what you do with that wasteful and destructive emotion that matters. It's good to examine the source, to determine your course of action.... Bury it as unfounded...or move on.
To never experience a twinge of jealousy means you really don't give a rat's ass in the first place...so what are you doing here?!
In regards to jealousy in the sense of resentment of other people's good fortune...that's one I've never understood at all.

Not that I think looks or sex appeal should matter all that much, but to the extent they do matter, they should always work in my favor and never against me.
And yet the world does not comply to my, quite reasonable I think, demands.
