Have you ever experienced someone being mean or treating you unfairly for no reason other than they are jealous or envious of you?

Ok Dan, I know you have experienced this, being a studmuffin and all.



Just curious???

When you find out, are you surprised?

In real life and on the org.

And I'm not just being full of myself.

I think MOST people are jealous, irrationally so.
Those who say they aren't are delusional or lying.

An ongoing theme in my life since my teen yrs ...

I never really understood it and now I am past desiring to

I have been both surprized and not by it

Don't you mean 'envious' rather than 'jealous'?

Oh answering a question with a question...interesting.
I will admit that I may be envious of some people, some times, I am human. The difference is, when I feel that way, I do not try to hurt them or make them feel bad just because of my own feelings. If that made any damn sense.



I get jealous that everyone loves my hubby more than me on the org but that is understandable....
He is adorable.

I guess that is a better word for it. It has happened to me a few times in my life. When I find out that a person is being ignorant or rude to me for that reason, I am always surprised.

Excellent POint!
I like that comment, cause to be envious invokes competition. to be jealous is like saying.."i'll never be as good, or have as much....etc."


I love it!!!!

I LOVE YOUR AVIE.

Of course!

Hasn't everyone dealt with this at some point in their lives?

People can feel envy over just about anything that is making someone else happy.

And no, I'm never surprised by it.

I know I've done it myself in the past. Not something I'm proud of, but we all make mistakes.

I can't think of a time someone's been mean to me because of being jealous, though. I can't think of a reason anyone would be jealous of me.

Yes, its not fun.

CarrieMpls said:

I guess that is why I have been surprised in the past when I have found out why the person is acting that way towards me.

I am envious of your style and personality Carrie but I would never hold it against you or treat you bad because I was envious of you.

shanti0608 said:

I know you wouldn't.

I would hope I never treat anyone badly and I honestly do my best not to the vast majority of the time. But as I said above, we all make mistakes. Jealousy and envy are strange and often very powerful emotions. It's learning to overcome that that is the key.

And if someone's treated you badly because of it, well, that sucks, but the poor reflection is on them, not you.

I would be floored if I found anyone to be jealous of me...

not worth the effort...

This is completely irrelevant to the topic, but I don't really want to dedicate a thread or a blog to it; however, I want a blowjob right now so goddamned bad, it's driving me insane.

You are right.

You seem to be a great guy with a beautiful family. Some of us are not that blessed.

flatterer...

jealousy is a bitch, fuck em..

Imago said:

stop being a HO!!!!!

Imago said:

welcome to my world

eraclito said:

I told you that this is not the place to come to get sympathy.

RenHoek said:

Why??

People feel envy over anything, looks, success, happiness...anything. There is always something that someone else can feel envious of.

Me, I feel jealousy all the time. I get super jealous of guys I like spending time with other girls. I feel it, but I never act out on it. Jealousy is totally normal - it's what you do with it that matters.

Im the one beeing jealous and envy all the time

JustErin said:

I don't know, I just feel that my life is so mundane in comparison to others... if I were looking from the outside, in, I couldn't be jealous or envious of my personal condition in life. Like I said, not worth the effort...

my life's all meh an' shit...

Yeah, back in middle school and high school. I was kinda surprised back then 'cause I was kinda quiet and I kept to myself a lot. I didn't think that people paid attention to me

Only on a professional level...and I usually follow the snarky remarks with a big and pay them no mind....in the military, folks that you pass by on the way up the ranks tend to downplay your success...chalking it up to an unfair, gender/culturally/racially biased promotion system OR that you must know somebody that was on the selection board....

I just shake my head, chuckle, and move on....the oxygen I'd waste talking to them is better used keeping me alive....

RenHoek said:

Oh whatever. Sometimes just being stable and happy is enough to make others all pissy.

Now that I think of it. I see some people on the org act like total cunts towards certain people who get a lot of attention.

I personally find it funny...
