When was the last time you were jealous of anyone. I'm guessing for you it was probably when you were in your....teens aged years?
As for me, I would say at the ages between 10 and 12 (not counting the abusive episode from parent's friends when they trained me when I was 6 to want a dress as my sister had--anything to make their victims look looney, even at that age).
When I was 10, this girl at the grade school got this huge, furry coat. I wanted one and I saw the coat at the store. I put it on, and my dad said no, and that was that. Not really jealous of her for having the coat...Don't know where the hell I'm going with this, but what the hell. More angry at not getting the coat than at the one who had one.
Have you had any of the jealousy problem? The green eyed monster, isn't it called? My eyes are green, so I had better stop.
If I were angry at her for having a coat, would that be jealousy? I don't think so, but what are your feelings on jealousy?
When I was about 12 would be a real feeling of jealousy. It did involve that sister who is two years older than I and the one involved in the dress training thing. Since we were close in age, we both got new clothes when the school year began and at Christmas we got a lot of games meant for both of us. Board games and the like, sleds, etc. I remember we both got watches one year. Mine froze outside in the cold very early on.
Anyway, when I got to be about 12 and she 14, she got some grown up gifts and I didn't I wanted some grown up gifts. It didn't last long, though. Just that one Christmas, and when she got a jacket from a neighbor that I would have liked.
I can't recall any phsical feeling associated with jealousy. Do you have that?
I know. I know. Don't covet thy neighbor's ass. Especially if they are all ass. Uh...something like that.
