Hi, great article but… sorry for being so detailed . It is one of my pet peeves so forgive me. I think you are mostly talking about envy. Envy and jealousy are cousins but they do mean different things. Quickly, envy is wanting want s/o else has and you are a bystander. This thing or person may not be part of your life at all. You can be envious of a neighbor or a celebrity. Something you saw on Netflix . Jealousy involves s/o in you life that you feel is threatening something you want like a sibling getting all your moms attention, or a stranger that flirts with your boyfriend. Hope you take this well , not meaning to criticize. Thanks.

I'm jealous that you noticed this.

JK. I personally think they are somewhat overlappable. It's just me though.

I think it's very noble of you to send us all to look at Laura's Ted Talk in spite of your jealousy!
