Jealousy and Insecurity
Jealousy
Jealousy is an instinctive emotion that arises most commonly in people who do not feel sufficiently worthy to retain affection and respect purely on their own merits. It is often a lack of self-esteem that causes people to attempt to constrain the behaviour of their friends and lovers, when in fact those constraints and the emotions that they represent are far more likely to damage the relationships they are intended to protect.
Jealousy is an emotion by one who perceives that another person is giving something that he/she wants or feels is due to them (often attention, love, respect or affection) to an alternate.
For example, a child will likely become jealous when their parents give sweets to a sibling but not to them. An adult may become jealous if they observe that their lover is flirting with someone else, perceiving a threat to their relationship. While the child's jealousy might be assuaged if they received candy from their parents as well, the jealous lover desires that the affections of their lover be directed exclusively to themselves and would not be assuaged by an equal share of attention.
Now dont get confused Jealousy with Envy.. some say ,, ,JEALOUSY involves the wish to keep what one has, and ENVY the wish to get what one does not have.Some even claim a distinction between jealousy and envy insofar as while envy is the carnal desire to possess something that is not yours, jealousy is the righteous feeling that one has towards that which is rightly his (such as a spouse's fidelity).
