Jealousy- does anyone else suffer from it?

It's OK to be jealous, although it's a horrible, painful emotion to feel. We've all been jealous at times. As others have said, it's how we deal with it that matters. You're not a bad person just for being jealous, or for being angry, or for being sad, or for feeling any emotion at all.

I don't know if jealousy is linked to Autism either. But I do know I often feel jealous of allistic people. Generally speaking, they have easier lives! I'm very jealous of my younger sisters, and it has caused us problems at times.

Perhaps a good way to combat the jealousy might be to look at the good things you have that others might not have. You may not have what you're jealous of people for having, but you will have other positive traits and skills. Perhaps there are even people jealous of you - you just don't know it because we don't talk about jealousy; it's often seen as a taboo.
