The Green Monster

What IT is
It eats you up. Slowly. Little by little. Starts off as a mild itch in the stomach and goes onto twist your intestines (more than they already are, or are they? I didn't pay much attention in anatomy class) and pull your guts out, literally in a few cases.

*That's where you laugh, I'm told.*

Get to know IT a little bit more
Jealousy is closely associated with the term possessiveness, but they're not the same. More about that on another post. *StartOfAlert* To say the least, please try not to use the term only with your lover (male or female, god I really have to explain myself ). It is highly misleading. *EndOfAlert* Often, when you hear someone say "God, I'm jealous of her. I can't believe they spend so much time together", you think that 'her' is causing some trouble in 'someone''s love life. No. He/she might be jealous of 'her' for the simple reason that the 'her' is good looking (better looking if the 'someone' we're talking about is a girl or "Oh god why don't I have a girlfriend like 'her'. Why does she have to be stuck with that loser" if it is a guy we're talking about). Or that 'her' might be getting closer to someone that 'someone' is close to, not necessarily a lover.
Confusing?

Hear the voices and pull them out
Wise man once said "Jealousy is all the fun you think they had". That's exactly what it is. It is most often an illusion one creates to make himself/herself feel worse, to drown in the pool of self-pity.

Jealousy is your mind screaming out loud "You ain't good enough. You're never going to be as good as him/her".
 You've heard the voices? Good. Now pull them out of your tiny head. Throw them out. 

Get yourself some good crack
The best way to feel good about yourself and worry less about the people you're jealous of is by having a hearty laugh.
Laugh at yourself. Laugh at the other person. Think about what you hate in that person (The thing you wish you had) and L.O.L. Crack some jokes about it. Make it seem as bad as you can.
NOTE: Do not try this in public. Do it alone. Or with a few close friends, if it'll help you more. I repeat, DO NOT try this in public. Any pain caused to you/anyone concerned, both physically and emotionally/mentally
- Not my problem.Thankyou.

 "Jealousy is a tribute mediocrity pays to genius". Turn it around. Let that statement not eat you up.
After all, IT is what IT is. Moreover, what you make of IT.  Make IT small. Don't suppress IT. Strengthen IT, feed IT till you think IT is strong enough to face you. Then crush IT. Once and for all.

Goodluck Monster! You have an ugly way to go!
