Is being a jealous woman something wrong?

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

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

    Jealousy...it can certainly suck the fun out of life. If you feel it, you feel it, though.

    Personally, I have a good relationship with jealousy. I only become jealous when something goes terribly wrong in my relationship. I've only been jealous once, and it didn't lie to me. My relationship didn't last much longer than that!

    So true, plus once you have been cheated on more than once you are kind of gun shy (talking from experience)

    people confuse jealousy and envy and insecurity all the time.

    I envy Mirey Gal's abs. I wish I had abs like Mirey Gal.
    I am not jealous of Mirey Gal. I have no negative feelins about Mirey Gal.

    I am insecure about my softish belly because there is so much pressure in our culture for women to be thin.
    I am not jealous of thin women with abs, I do not have negative feelings about thin women with abs. My negative feelings about my own body is something I need to work on.

    Jealousy is the fear of someone taking something from you and it is a negative feeling directed at a specific threat. A classic example is your boyfriend spends time with another woman and you fear that he will leave you for the other woman. You become jealous of that woman. Maybe you envy her body. Maybe you are insecure about your body. But your feelings towards her are negative because you are jealous and perceive her as a threat. This is not healthy, not ok, and something that you need to work on in one way or another as it is destructive to carry those feelings around. Either your jealousy is unfounded, or your relationship needs work.

    Capiche?

    If this question is specifically directed about being within a relationship, then nothing is wrong with slight jealousy if communicated within a healthy way. When it gets batsh#t crazy then you should get out quickly and run.

    Same here^^!!!! It's a good practice to get into. I used to get jealous over everything, like you said, friends, parents, teachers, bosses', etc. It's very normal. I am aware of it and I practice to not be that way, and it's gotten a LOT better! :)
