"Jealous" is an ambiguous word. It has several meanings. Which do you mean? Its meaning can include any of these:

* Fearful or wary of being supplanted; apprehensive of losing affection or position.

* intolerant of rivalry or unfaithfulness

* hostile toward a rival or one believed to enjoy an advantage

* vigilant in guarding a possession

* envious: painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage

I feel jealous all the time, jealousy is a normal feeling - we simply have to find the right people to talk to about it :)

I get extremely jealous over anyone I care about- not only the person I'm in love with but also my friends.

Thanks emp; Like I said, I dont experience most of this; the only one i have felt is envy. It had not occured to me that there might be several definitions.

I can be vigilant, but in the sense that i am being cautious; its a logical thing, like locking my doors, or placing valuable items out of view.

I am extremely egalitarian. I think people should belong together, not to each other.

Ahem. To clear up the ambiguity, I mean jealous in the sense that you cannot abide your signifigant other to enjoy the attention of rivals/strangers.
