They do not mean the same thing. I feel envious rather than jealous. Being envious means that one is upset over something that belongs to another person. Being jealous means one is upset over somebody's affections for another person.
For instance, one may be envious when someone else makes more money, has more assets, or is smarter than he.
One may be jealous when his parents show more affection towards a sibling. One is jealous when his ex-girlfriend befriends another guy.
They're similar, but DIFFERENT.

I am never jealous or envious, but I have been in the past and let me tell you, I loathed feeling that way.
I have felt more jealousy than envy. If someone is jealous, they want what you have or are experiencing, or hate you for being able to do what you're doing. Envy is wanting to BE that person.

I think both.but the difference between the two are that this envious you have can lead you to feel jealous and that jealousy you feel can lead to envious.so i said both because they are so much a like but so different at th same time.TRUST

Jealous and envious are the same, but they are different.
Same in the meaning, but different in action.

I occassionally get envious. Jealous almost never. I know the difference. With envy you may desire what someone else has, with jealousy, you actually resent someone for having what you want.

I experience jealousy more. I think jealousy is when someone gets something better than you, and you want that thing instead of your own. and I think envy is when someone gets something really really good, and u think that perhaps u would like something like that. Well, thats wut i think...
