I was getting ready to have my mind blown, but now I'm just confused:
"jealous: feeling or showing an envious resentment of someone or their achievements, possessions, or perceived advantages."
"Synonyms: envy, covetousness"
- vicpara 9y agoJealousy is generally related to human feelings. "feeling or showing a resentful suspicion that one's partner is attracted to or involved with someone else." It is mostly incorrectly used by people to depict envy. Also it became also a cool factor. "Your trip to Jamaica makes me jealous". Huh ? Envy is about "a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck." So you are actually envious. So stop being resentful at someone's luck or connections :)
