Jealousy....

[scoletti]

Jealousy. Where does it come from exactly? Where does that feeling of hatred for an object or another person arise? Sometimes you know the person so it's almost logical to be jealous of them. Almost. I mean, at least you have a reason to be jealous if say you compared your lives to theirs or something or if you felt like they were stealing someone

It's a fine line to tread, definitely. I don't think many people even realise a balance must be reached, and that's perhaps why so many relationships, romantic or platonic, fail. To put it bluntly, jealousy sucks, but must exist in appropriate doses for everything else to work.

[scoletti]

Nicely summarized there in the end. Haha. I should've just made you write this entry.

Sob. I'm a little sad that there's no abuse today. It's cause you're distracted! ;) I'm tempted to random letter all of a sudden.

[leung_k]

I'm a good summariser, I suppose. Maybe I'll write the next one!

I'm no longer distracted! Well, a bit, but not from randomletter-worthy things. ;)

[scoletti]

Maybe we should collaborate more.

Darn! I was hoping to see more random lettering...sigh.

Even though I pretend to never let it phase me, I get jealous on occasion. I think if a person were to act completely blasé about a situation it would make the other feel inadequate or unloved.

[scoletti]

I agree 100%. I've missed you and that icon. Haha. Seriously, I'm giving you the Departed on DVD for Christmas.

[kreukkristin]

I will never watch it! Why must you torment me? PS I missed you too, dude.

[scoletti]

Awww. I miss SHAWN! SOB. Come back!

Fine. Let's watch Smallville reruns? :)

Obviously trust is a huge part of any type of relationship that should be honored and it's really heartbreaking when one of the two people breaks that bond. I think that everyone has a twinge of jealousy course through them if they see their loved one be a bit too chummy with someone else; however, if you truly trust him/her, then it shouldn't be a problem, of course. Insane jealousy is a whole other story, though. That scares me.

Do you know where Shawn is? :(

[scoletti]

Tiny amounts are acceptable, yes. Have you ever been really really jealous? I'm so curious today. Sob.

HE'S ON RIGHT NOW! AHHHH! SIGN ON!

[sutherland_k]

Actually yes, I have, but in my defense I think I had every reason to be. You know...fiancee runs off with my best friend to our honeymoon location right before wedding...I'm left in the dust...blahblahblah. But, really, that's all the past.

YES YES!

[scoletti]

That's flipping great! You are the obvious exception to the rule here buddy! Plus, I imagine you look great with green eyes anyday.

I KNOW! HAHAHA! WE MUST NEVER LET HIM GO!

[scottamoffatt]

you know, I hardly get jelous. it happens on occassion but not so much because, this sounds awful, but when I want something, I get it.

[scoletti]

No, not awful at all. Some people are just born lucky ;)

I think that if something or someone means a lot to you, getting jealous at times is normal. You're right, it is a manifestation of fear and it's human nature to feel that emotion, but again, control of it is crucial. We all like to feel and to know that we are considered important to another person, especially in a relationship, so if that person were to not care or be unaffected by the prospect of someone else coming into the picture, it doesn't exactly make us feel too great.

You pose a lot of thought provoking entries, I love that about your writing. <3

[scoletti]

So does this mean even YOU get jealous? Oh my. ;) Kidding aside, yes, your someone not being affected by you being jealous or your someone not being jealous just plain sucks. It makes you wonder why you're even involved in the relationship.

Well thank you for the compliment. Your writing is honest and does not cater only to a particular group of people. It applies to everyone and I love that as well.

[burton_hil]

LOL Of course I get jealous at times, who doesn't?

You say that because you're biased towards me, haha jk

[scoletti]

Good to know that. Hey, some people say they don't when they actually do and some people say they do when they actually don't!

I will never ever compliment you again.
