Jealousy.
Thoughts?
Ever get jealous when one of your exes starts dating someone when you aren't even interested?
Is there any worse feeling besides physical pain?
Are any of you just not the jealous type? What makes you jealous?

I am very jealous of my friends and family being in relationships. Before, I used to be happy that they manage to find someone they love and hope that their relationship will work out. Gradually, I became quite bitter and jealous that they are “getting some” while I have never been in anything resembling a relationship. Now, I quietly loathe them, especially when they talk about their significant others or bring their significant other to family gatherings. For example, I used to be rather close to my cousin Rachel (remember her?). However, after finding out that she has a boyfriend, I became rather "distanced" from her. We used to MSN and Facebook a lot, now we rarely MSN or I have not browsed her FB profile in ages.
Don’t get me wrong, I am glad that people find love and I will never hate anyone for being in relationships; after all, this is what we do. However, I am just jealous that they have “gotten some” while I have “gotten none.”
shakespeare would have made it tragic :) or machiavelian.
but yeah.. i've never gotten jealous of my exes cause i don't see the reason to.. i don't really talk to them anymore or deliberately go find out things about them.. so there isn't really much to be jealous abt...or maybe i'm just naturally apathetic.. :confused:

I read 1984 like 10 years ago, and don't really remember anything about it that descriptive.
i would suppose jealously would come into play if u were to remain frds and/or still saw them often enough to witness some affection thats not directed at u
i dont think i get too jealous over anything, id say it jokingly, but dont think the emotions really get to me
guess thats the downside of being frds w/ ppl u've been involved with, how u handle seeing them being affectionate with others (or even hearing them talk about it)
But then, if I recall correctly, Winston Smith actually hired a prostitute in a chapter of the book. Also, if they ban sex, where are they going find little kids to be the next generation of loyal Big Brother follower and fight in the Perpetual war between Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia?
...hello Catholic Church
Now, can we get back on track?
If its only a short time after a breakup then I'd feel some jealousy but it won't last too long because obviously that means the girl's a beach.
They say it's possible to be friends with your exes but for exes to totally and fully get back to that level takes a REALLY long time, if not both have probably found someone else right away that they won't really have to care about previous relationships.
I don't know, it's good hes seeing someone, but he used to be mine.
As far as jealousy in general, I do get jealous easy. However, it's always controlled and I'm never the type to restrict what my girlfriend does or who she talks to.
jokes aside.. is it really that frustrating being single? i mean.. i love my single status because it gives me a lot of freedom to do things that my other half probably won't let/like me doing.. and the issue of compromising plus some of the most trivial things couples argue about kinda irks me.. =\ so it's actually more frustrating for me to get attached..
maybe u feel like that b/c u had control over whether u could have him or not during the relationship, but now that u guys arent together, u have no control over it, just jealousy
and i don't think i could ever feel jealous of my ex's because usually the reason i break up with them is cuz they have done something that turns me off.. so why would i be jealous of someone i don't even wanna be with? dosnt make sense =\
im still semi-friends with one of my exs only cuz i love her so much so seeing her once in a while puts me in a ridiculously good mood lol
as for the guy shes with, im happy for both of them and can only wish them the best for the future.
As friends though I still maybe had a certain level of control over him, but now I gotta compete with this ho. As friends we were still pretty close.
I can't tell if I want to be with him now, or if its just because I want what I can't have, although I'm seeing someone and I'm sure he would hate to hear any of this.
