Jealousy

Elze's picture
Jealousy is an emotion that makes you aware that you want something that someone else already has. The emotion draws your attention to what you want. And that can be anything, ranging from being able to something, to do something, or being something to having, knowing or forming something. So it is a handy emotion if you had forgotten what you actually wanted or hardly thought about what you want more in the near future. It also makes it in a flash clear to you that you don't have it now. That you might have wanted that. This can be experienced as frustrating. How frustrating is depending on your rational ability to deal with frustrations.
