The Little Green-Eyed Monster....

Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, such as a relationship, friendship, or love. Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger, sadness, and disgust. Jealousy differs from envy in that jealousy is about something one has and is afraid of losing, while envy refers to something one does not have and either wants to acquire or to prevent another from acquiring.

Is there any reason it's called the green-eyed monster? I don't really know why. William Shakespeare often wrote about jealousy. I don't really like Shakespeare so that reference isn't going anywhere. Nonetheless, (<--- a="" afraid="" an="" base="" because="" br="" concept.="" concept="" else="" from="" fun="" get="" happens="" interesting="" is="" it="" jealousy.="" losing="" many="" might="" of="" on="" one="" person="" plots="" s="" someone="" something="" starts.="" stories="" that="" the="" their="" them="" to="" want="" well="" what="" when="" why="" word="" writers="">The plain fact is, people do dumb stuff when they're jealous. Sometimes it's actually pretty funny.
The most common kind of jealousy, is in relationships, (that isn't actually a researched fact, but it's probably true) followed closely by money(again, completely made up). Most people can't stand to be outdone in a relationship. This makes sense. People like being in relationships because they can be loved for who they are and be completely comfortable. No competition because they've already won. The last thing you want to do is compete for something that's supposed to be rightfully yours.
But, ALAS! Sometimes there may be a call for you to stand up and fight for your girl or guy. But just because there's a call doesn't mean you have to answer it. People are funny in that way. They don't think things out completely very often. Being naturally territorial, it's not uncommon for us to get angry at seeing our significant other getting a little close to someone else.
But let's get serious. GET THE HELL OVER IT. Men/boys can get a little funny acting for their girls. I don't want anybody saying this to my girl, and I don't want anybody doing this around my girl. Grow the hell up, man. You have to learn to trust women to be able to carry themselves. If a girl cheats on you, it's her decision, to do what she does. You want a woman who can carry herself, instead of a girl who is ready to flip flop on you in a heartbeat. She's not the type of person worth fighting for.
Have you ever heard someone say "It's not that I don't trust you, I just don't trust them." BULLLLLSHIT. The only way that phrase makes any sense is if they think you're going to get raped. If they don't think you're going to get raped, what do they expect to happen? It IS that they don't trust you. People have a big problem getting over themselves. A lot of people are just too insecure with themselves to feel like they've done everything right.
To be honest, Girls and Guys all can get a little funny when it comes to their own. Sometimes, it shows how much they care. Sometimes it shows how damn crazy they are. But either way, the one missing ingredient is trust.
