    When you´re jealous of somebody, does it mean you have feelings for that person or that you have just possesive tendencies which are incidentally connected to that person?

    Just to clarify: are you jealous of the person, or get jealous when the other person gives/receives romantic attention? Your last comment about possessiveness seems to imply the latter. :slight_smile:

    Sometimes, when you're jealous of the romantic attention someone's giving or getting, it can mean you have feelings for them yourself. But not always. Perhaps you just don't want to lose a friend.

    It's tricky, but it's worth taking a moment and honestly asking yourself what your feelings are. Could you imagine yourself in a relationship with this person? What would you say if they were interested in you? Sometimes this can clear things up!

    I know that jealousy is a very bad thing but all who went through that know that sometime it´s impossible to avoid that feeling;
    I was talking about i envy a partner of that person; im not a friend with that person;
    no, i´d rather not imagine what i´d say if that person was interested in me as it´ll never happen so i dont wanna stir my feelings even more:slight_smile:

    Or one could be jealous of the fact that someone is getting attention the other isn't getting, which I guess would make it envy instead of jealousy technically.
