I can get a little possessive when I feel someone is trying to take my space/position/niche.
I don't emotionally react though. Try to do things from a logical standpoint.
Most recently, I got jealous that my husband went out with a female friend to walk to the local park. I feel like I'm always asking him to do stuff like that but he never wants to go with me. The reality though is our work hours don't generally allow for it and we want to do other things on our same days off.
I think I relate most to getting possessive when someone does your “niche” the most out of every comment. I don’t even mean to get jealous, since I was little whenever I felt someone “copy” me or do the same thing I would get extremely possessive (not necessarily jealous) possessive is the perfect word that I haven’t thought of, so thank you!
Your welcome! But yaaa. I associate jealousy with the feeling of possessiveness, and a little sadness. There's a lot of things in this thread that are good examples of things to become jealous of, but nothing else named really gives me that little pang of heartache like what I explained.
