Talk:Envy Manipulation/@comment-25441288-20160313090123/@comment-26993961-20160313101201

I'd just like to step in here and try to help, hopefully I'm not seen as taking sides though. ^^;; I've had a similar discussion in the past with someone, and this is a very common thing to get confused. When asked, people often people use the word "jealously" mistakenly when talking about feeling envy- they're not interchangable terms though, despite being treated as such, as envy and jelousy are two different things entirely.

Envy:  Envy is a  two party  situation, and pertains to things you don't own. Where someone (Party A) has an  inward feeling of hatred towards someone else (Party B) when they have something you want, or a wish/desire to have something someone else has. Example: Feeling envious of you neighbour over their new car.

Jealousy: Jealousy is a three party situation, and pertains to things you do own. Where someone (Party A) feels resentfment toward someone else (Party C),  when they feel like something they have (Party B); say an object, friend or intimate relationship,  is going to be taken from them by Party C. It's the wish to keep what you have from someone else, when you feel threatened that that someone else might take it from you, and you feel resentment toward them. Or the resentful suspicion that someone has what is yours. Example: Feeling jealous when another man is talking to your girlfriend.

Hopefully this helps. ^^
