Answer 4

Not necessary if you can trust your partner and if you have self confidence. If there is mutual trust and respect in a relationship one can leave ones partner on a long long leash and still know he or she will be faithful ... and only if one is insecure does one tend to be jealous.. but jealousy is never a good thing.  if one cannot trust ones partner then one should get out of that relationship and find someone who will be respectful and trustworthy.. but one also has to take his or her word for it... if he or she gives no indication of being unfaithful there is no need for jealousy.. and envy.. to envy other people for their success.. that leads to unhappiness.. one has to set oneself goals which are suitable for oneself and aim to achieve those goals.. if one tries hard one will succeed that will boost the self esteem and there will be no envy.. one believes one is as good as the other person and if one believes that.. which is the truth.. nobody is superior or inferior to others. then we have no reason to envy other people.. Jealousy is between partners.. the doubting if one can trust... that is a sign of not enough self esteem. if one got it. one will trust ones partner without trying to lay traps for him or her and check on each other all the time .. then one does not trust if one does that..  x*x

Answer 5

i personally think it's a waste of time i mean

i mean yeah, everyone want's something they can't have in life.

but i personally think people should just realize that nobody's better then them and that they should create themselve's into a better caring/ being your self kindof person.

because jealousy get's you know whever in life expect load's of drama and girl's/ guy's who will think your a patheic child who need's to grow up.

Answer 6

I don't think it ever did something good for anybody. It's a negative emotion that I try not to feel. Ever.

Answer 7

I think it is a selfish act of every human being. Something that is present when one individual doesn't look for the best in something else... In relationships, they always look at the negative, as opposed to they are doing good for themselves.
