Like, I am. Even though I try to hide it because it makes me feel inferior. How about you people?

Sorry for not being specific. Jealousy in general, could be about your partner, family, friends, teacher, goals, etc.

    Being jealous is completely normal.

    How you deal with your jealousy is what can make it a bad thing.

    True - I don't even say a word. I mean, unless I actually SEE something going on.

    It depends on how jealous you are, in what situations and what kind of damages your jealousy causes to both you and others.

    I think it's normal, but it's all about how you then act on the jealousy. Which is 9 times out of 10 to do with your own issues and state of mind.

    I think it depends on WHY you're jealous, and also HOW you deal with it.

    It's normal to be jealous, also good to talk about it with your significant other.

    I'm a horrifically jealous person! To be honest, I think I will always be jealous of someone, so I'm working on loving myself, and trying to believe my boyfriend when he says I'm beautiful and have a great body. Some days I believe him, most I don't. But I'm working on it. :)

    It happens, it depends on the severity. If your man(or woman) is running up to the store and you wonder what he is doing then yeah that may not be OK. However, if he(or she) is constantly making you feel jealous you have to think about some things. My whole philosophy is I don't do anything I wouldn't be OK with my wife doing. If I want to go hang out with some single girls (which I don't) then I better be ok with her hanging out with a group of single guys.

    If you have no concrete reason to be jealous and don't mind pushing him away.............there's nothing wrong with it at all :)

    Talk to him about whatever is bothering you so you can both work on repairing it

    Jealous of other women, jealous of what others have or jealous within a relationship? What specifically?

    So true! My girlfriends have ruined MANY relationships by not communicating.
