Avoiding Jealousy

28 minutes

13 January 2026

Jealousy is a complex and negative emotion in which a person feels inferior, inferior, and resentful because another person has a characteristic, achievement, wealth, or success that is greater than theirs, and may want to gain it or have it lost; this emotion is rooted in comparing oneself to others and can lead to anger, anxiety, and destructive behaviours, but in a healthy way it can be a motivator for progress and imitation of positive role models. Envy is a combination of disappointment in oneself and anger toward another, which is formed due to a feeling of failure and inability to reach the other person's position.
