I have many very beautiful friends and they are definitely no "threat" to me--they are dear to my heart because they know they are far more than just their looks and they have intentionally cultivated loving, strong, intelligent personalities in addition to the physical hotness. The "beautiful" men or women who refuse to make an effort to make life about more than the superficial are the ones whom I dislike--and in no way am I jealous. They are the last sort of person I want to emulate or have in my life. I think it's an easy cop-out, to accuse others of jealousy without looking at it a little more deeply. Is it possible to dislike someone "pretty" and not be jealous? Or is all negative feeling "jealousy", in your opinion? What about disliking "average" looking people--is that jealousy, too? that's so dumb when people do that. it totally makes a mockery out of people like me, who people really ARE jealous of.  Instead of calling it dumb, just admit you're jealous of those people!   | |

Personality is just as superficial as looks. Changing your basic personality is almost impossible. | |

XxAxX said: jealousy is when you have something that's yours, and you guard it fiercely. for example, you have a boyfriend who flirts with other women. when he does that you feel possessive, or jealous of him.
ENVY is when you want something someone else has. feelings of envy would be where you wish you were as pretty or rich as someone else. thank you. that is all  many people mix and confuse the two  | |

[Edited 9/7/06 17:32pm] Of course it's possible, I would say that most times looks don't come into play when deciding whether you really like someone or not. However, there certainly are some people who just simply dislike others that they feel are better then they are (in whatever way - be it looks, success, etc) and will act out on it even when the other person is not doing anything to warrant such a negative response. People like that are usually very easy to spot. | |

Instead of calling it dumb, just admit you're jealous of those people! i'm jealous of them because they don't have to deal with being so pretty and gifted. sometimes it's just not cool to be so awesome and bleeding edge sexy.  | |

People love to throw that around - "they're jealous (envious)" or "they're hatin'"  I think some people just WANT other people to envy them    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |
