What brings out “the green monster” (jealousy or envy) in you?

Seeing someone get easily, without effort, what I sacrificed everything for and still lost.

If someone I love is giving the type of attention I want to another person instead of me, I will turn into a monster. Example:… my husband will never try anything I make that has yogurt in it. He will refuse - I learned it the hard way, after I had poured hours of labor and love into whatever I had made (pastries.) he wouldn’t even try even though I told him there was absolutely no yogurt taste. then comes this girl who brings a yogurt dip to a party and he tries it “to be nice.” You bet I lost it. Why didn’t I deserve the same courtesy ? He does this a lot and it drives me nuts.

Jealousy: I used to feel jealous of all those ons who got a special attention from the ones I loved (family, friends or partner). Thankfully, I'm over it and I can say the jealousy is gone.

I envy all those people who eat like pigs and don't gain weight...

When a person I like stops talking to me and turns away in a joyful excitement to another person who is seemingly not interested in that and obviously doesn't value the attention. It makes me feel sad, angry, jealous and worthless the same time.

When I fancy someone and someone else is hitting on them... its sad, but its one of the best ways I know I like someone.
