That’s inaccurate. I’m jealous of a lot of my friends. I tell them I’m jealous. I’m also happy for them and help them out, especially if it helps them get to the point where I’m jealous of them.
You can have more than one emotion and opinion about things.
Would you say that rather than jealousy, you feel sympathetic joy? Because as defined by Cambridge dictionary, jealous is “an adjective used to describe someone who is feeling or showing an unhappy, resentful, or bitter emotion”.
I feel that people don’t seem to think jealousy is a negative emotion even though that’s what it’s defined as.
Do friends contradict themselves?
Very well then they contradict themselves,
(They are large, they contain multitudes.)A couple of years ago my uncle Pete came home early from work. As he entered the house, he heard these weird thump-thump-thump sounds coming from the upstairs bedroom. Softly he walked up the stairs. Uh, somehow I lost track of what I wanted to say.
Are you using ‘jealous’ in the correct way as they are afraid of you snatching up their ‘stuff’?
Or in a meaning of envy as they are being envious of you having better ‘stuff’?The definition you would get if you googled or looked up jealous in a dictionary
feeling angry or unhappy because someone you like or love is showing interest in someone else.
That’s not friendship but trust issues and dependency.
