Why do people get jealous?

Answer 1

Because it's human nature.

Answer 2

We get jealous because as they all say...it's a human nature. But how you handle that nature in you is what defines how much you have it in you! Sometimes you feel jealousy and in the very next moment you say or think something nice for or about that person.Which might mean that basically you are not a jealous person. Sometimes the jealousy feeling can bring in you anger and unhappiness..those are dangerous moments where you should take a look at yourself and learn to control and understand those feelings and bin it in the right way at the right time. Otherwise, more often it leeds to bitterness and sadness. Something which will always make us regret in the end. That's why it's always a fall that we take from doing something driven by jealousiness rather than a positive end to the action. But then again, this is a lesson that we all learn in life because it is only normal that now and then we do something silly driven by jealousy.It's an unavoidable trait within which pokes at us now and then.

Answer 3

Human Nature

Answer 4

Because people want what they cannot have. Their ego has to tell them they deserve it even if they don't have a right to it. Some people have issues with boundaries, for themselves and other people. There is a temptation to take what you want when you are not allowed to have it. The forbidden is appealing.

At the same time, some people vent their self-hatred and are possessive to cover up insecurities and overwhelming neediness. At a base level in their psyche, they hate the society they feel hates them and they feel responsible for that. They resent being victims and resent knowing it even more. There is a lot of anger and fear down there. Fear causes a lot of things.
