I searched for possible explanations of what jealous envy could be and it it does exist. I came across this list of what sort of things as associated with each. This is a clear comparison of each so then after looking at this maybe connections can be made for the two. I liked this list because it separated the two concepts using examples so I could really grasp what each mean. Using this list might make it difficult to combine the two as well because there are no repeats between the lists. If they were to be out together, maybe parts of each would be present but there could still be an argument in which the two are separated in a situation. Often one is either envious or jealous. Cases could be made to say that under certain circumstances both can exist together, such as in the example brought up in class. This was that say a man's wife chooses to see her ex husband and this causes feelings of envy for that man from the husband because of his good looks and money and jealousy of the relationship and connection that that ex and the mans wife once had.
Question: Is this an example of being able to feel both concepts at the same time in one situation?
The common experience of jealousy for many people may involve:
- Fear of loss
- Suspicion of or anger about a perceived betrayal
- Low self-esteem and sadness over perceived loss
- Uncertainty and loneliness
- Fear of losing an important person to another
- Distrust
The experience of envy involves:
- Feelings of inferiority
- Longing
- Resentment of circumstances
- Ill will towards envied person often accompanied by guilt about these feelings
- Motivation to improve
- Desire to possess the attractive rival's qualities
- Disapproval of feelings
