Jealousy, The Green Eyed Monster


Listen Later

Jealousy & envy are both feelings most of us have at some point or another. J is the fear of losing something you already have while envy is wanting something you don't have. Both of these feelings are similar to to other universal feelings.

  1. Throughout our research, studies suggest there are 5 universal feelings across cultures (fear, happiness, anger, shame, sadness)  and all the extra feelings we have can typically be put into one of these categories.
  2. There are 3 levels to jealousy which explains why we go so frantic
    • We believe we need something external to be happy
    • We can't guarantee keeping what we have
    • If someone else gets it, they’re better than us
  3. Thought work on how to change the negative thought that are creating the feeling of jealousy or envy.
