Envy may be defined as an emotion that "occurs when a person lacks another’s superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it.



Steer away from envious people. They will not admit they are envious typically. Steer away from this person. Keep away until they confess and say sorry. If not keep away, you can not afford to keep envious people in your private world. People that envy you are not your friends.
Examine his behavior. See his actions, words, etc. Sometimes they make face response, so be alert.
If you would like to do something, and he says things like "you can't", "you suck" or "your not going to make it" then those are signs of envy. For example: You would like to sing, and he says you shouldn't because you are a bad singer but others say you have a great voice, somethings wrong.
Try to help him out in that situation, talk to him about this feeling. If you don't succed try to Break Up with that friend.
Talk to somebody about that. You might not see he's envious, but if you tell others the situation they identify.
Envious people talk with others about you. And i don't think its good stuff
Investigate what made him that way. You might be mistaken for something you did that he hated and he's trying to have revenge. Or maybe he's in a bad mood, and people with bad mood try to make others feel like dirt.


Dont pay attention to what your friend says.
Ask other people that know that person if he talks about you. Is it bad? Is it good? You'll never know if you don't investigate.
Help him out.
Make friends with people who have the same things as you or more, this way you don't have envious people trying to pull you down.


Handle an envious friend with extreme care. If he/she is extremely envious any small reaction to their envious remarks or actions may cause them to get worse and try to hurt you. ( Remember our friends know just how to push our buttons so it's better to distance your self in a peaceful way slowly over time).
If you listen to him you'll be just like him. So don't let him take your confidence and your strength down.
That person might be your worst enemy, or your best friend. And even if its your best friend, don't pay attention to him or his actions.
Remember that if you confront your envious friend they may become hostile and deny. Worse, they may even try to convince others that you are the envious one. Try to focus on your own accomplishments and avoid getting into a "one-up-manship" game with them as they will try to brag whenever your are around. Just ignore them and be graceous if you see them.
Remember the difference between admiration, envy and jealousy. Admiration is when someone likes something about you and is inspired by it but they do not wish that you lacked it (a good friend has and SHOWS this as well). However, envy is when they like what you have (and show it by copying or worse yet, saying that they came up with it,etc) and want you to lack it (i.e they belittle your accomplishments or over act the quality in you that they desire). Jealousy is the experience when something one possess and is fearful of losing. So, make sure that you label it correctly. If a friend is envious of you, remember that it is a genuine form of flattery although painful. Remember that they feel inferior and remember that when they try to belittle you.

My friend is jealous of me bcoz i m beautiful intelligent and above him in every way. he puts me down and gives excuses for his failures. He wants to win over me help me figure this out? Why so jealous? Huh?
I know im so hot, but excuse my beauty ok.

Even in my relationships... Jealousy is a difficult vice - it is based on the low self esteem of the jealous person. The person who is the object must remind the jealous person of this often, so they remember that the object normally cannot do anything to "fix" this. If the jealous person is secure, they would not doubt their partner´s commitment. Find ways of building up the jealous partner´s self esteem, to help him or feel more good about what he/she has to offer the relationship.

Shame on Jealous people!
People can be such haters and wannabes.

Seriously.

Why me? It's always me. People see me and wish they had what I have and get jealous.


So, How do I deal with envious and jealous people?

Myth: Marijuana Can Cause Permanent Mental Illness. Among adolescents, even occasional marijuana use may cause psychological damage. During intoxication, marijuana users become irrational and often behave erratically.

Fact: There is no convincing scientific evidence that marijuana causes psychological damage or mental illness in either teenagers or adults. Some marijuana users experience psychological distress following marijuana ingestion, which may include feelings of panic, anxiety, and paranoia. Such experiences can be frightening, but the effects are temporary. With very large doses, marijuana can cause temporary toxic psychosis. This occurs rarely, and almost always when marijuana is eaten rather than smoked. Marijuana does not cause profound changes in people's behavior.


Myth: Marijuana is Highly Addictive. Long term marijuana users experience physical dependence and withdrawal, and often need professional drug treatment to break their marijuana habits.

Fact: Most people who smoke marijuana smoke it only occasionally. A small minority of Americans - less than 1 percent - smoke marijuana on a daily basis. An even smaller minority develop a dependence on marijuana. Some people who smoke marijuana heavily and frequently stop without difficulty. Others seek help from drug treatment professionals. Marijuana does not cause physical dependence. If people experience withdrawal symptoms at all, they are remarkably mild.



Myth: Marijuana Is More Potent Today Than In The Past. Adults who used marijuana in the 1960s and 1970s fail to realize that when today's youth use marijuana they are using a much more dangerous drug.

Fact: When today's youth use marijuana, they are using the same drug used by youth in the 1960s and 1970s. A small number of low-THC samples seized by the Drug Enforcement Administration are used to calculate a dramatic increase in potency. However, these samples were not representative of the marijuana generally available to users during this era. Potency data from the early 1980s to the present are more reliable, and they show no increase in the average THC content of marijuana. Even if marijuana potency were to increase, it would not necessarily make the drug more dangerous. Marijuana that varies quite substantially in potency produces similar psychoactive effects.



Myth: Marijuana Offenses Are Not Severely Punished. Few marijuana law violators are arrested and hardly anyone goes to prison. This lenient treatment is responsible for marijuana continued availability and use.

Fact: Marijuana arrests in the United States doubled between 1991 and 1995. In 1995, more than one-half-million people were arrested for marijuana offenses. Eighty-six percent of them were arrested for marijuana possession. Tens of thousands of people are now in prison or marijuana offenses. An even greater number are punished with probation, fines, and civil sanctions, including having their property seized, their driver's license revoked, and their employment terminated. Despite these civil and criminal sanctions, marijuana continues to be readily available and widely used.



Myth: Marijuana is More Damaging to the Lungs Than Tobacco. Marijuana smokers are at a high risk of developing lung cancer, bronchitis, and emphysema.

Fact: Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers. There have been no reports of lung cancer related solely to marijuana, and in a large study presented to the American Thoracic Society in 2006, even heavy users of smoked marijuana were found not to have any increased risk of lung cancer. Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana.



Myth: Marijuana Has No Medicinal Value. Safer, more effective drugs are available. They include a synthetic version of THC, marijuana's primary active ingredient, which is marketed in the United States under the name Marinol.

Fact: Marijuana has been shown to be effective in reducing the nausea induced by cancer chemotherapy, stimulating appetite in AIDS patients, and reducing intraocular pressure in people with glaucoma. There is also appreciable evidence that marijuana reduces muscle spasticity in patients with neurological disorders. A synthetic capsule is available by prescription, but it is not as effective as smoked marijuana for many patients. Pure THC may also produce more unpleasant psychoactive side effects than smoked marijuana. Many people use marijuana as a medicine today, despite its illegality. In doing so, they risk arrest and imprisonment.



Myth: Marijuana is a Gateway Drug. Even if marijuana itself causes minimal harm, it is a dangerous substance because it leads to the use of "harder drugs" like heroin, LSD, and cocaine.

Fact: Marijuana does not cause people to use hard drugs. What the gateway theory presents as a causal explanation is a statistic association between common and uncommon drugs, an association that changes over time as different drugs increase and decrease in prevalence. Marijuana is the most popular illegal drug in the United States today. Therefore, people who have used less popular drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and LSD, are likely to have also used marijuana. Most marijuana users never use any other illegal drug. Indeed, for the large majority of people, marijuana is a terminus rather than a gateway drug.



Myth: Marijuana Policy in the Netherlands is a Failure. Dutch law, which allows marijuana to be bought, sold, and used openly, has resulted in increasing rates of marijuana use, particularly in youth.

Fact: The Netherlands' drug policy is the most nonpunitive in Europe. For more than twenty years, Dutch citizens over age eighteen have been permitted to buy and use cannabis (marijuana and hashish) in government-regulated coffee shops. This policy has not resulted in dramatically escalating cannabis use. For most age groups, rates of marijuana use in the Netherlands are similar to those in the United States. However, for young adolescents, rates of marijuana use are lower in the Netherlands than in the United States. The Dutch people overwhelmingly approve of current cannabis policy which seeks to normalize rather than dramatize cannabis use. The Dutch government occasionally revises existing policy, but it remains committed to decriminalization.




Myth: Marijuana Impairs Memory and Cognition. Under the influence of marijuana, people are unable to think rationally and intelligently. Chronic marijuana use causes permanent mental impairment.

Fact: Marijuana produces immediate, temporary changes in thoughts, perceptions, and information processing. The cognitive process most clearly affected by marijuana is short-term memory. In laboratory studies, subjects under the influence of marijuana have no trouble remembering things they learned previously. However, they display diminished capacity to learn and recall new information. This diminishment only lasts for the duration of the intoxication. There is no convincing evidence that heavy long-term marijuana use permanently impairs memory or other cognitive functions.



Myth: Marijuana Causes Crime. Marijuana users commit more property offenses than nonusers. Under the influence of marijuana, people become irrational, aggressive, and violent.

Fact: Every serious scholar and government commission examining the relationship between marijuana use and crime has reached the same conclusion: marijuana does not cause crime. The vast majority of marijuana users do not commit crimes other than the crime of possessing marijuana. Among marijuana users who do commit crimes, marijuana plays no causal role. Almost all human and animal studies show that marijuana decreases rather than increases aggression.


Myth: Marijuana Interferes With Male and Female Sex Hormones. In both men and women, marijuana can cause infertility. Marijuana retards sexual development in adolescents. It produces feminine characteristics in males and masculine characteristics in females.

Fact: There is no evidence that marijuana causes infertility in men or women. In animal studies, high doses of THC diminish the production of some sex hormones and can impair reproduction. However, most studies of humans have found that marijuana has no impact of sex hormones. In those studies showing an impact, it is modest, temporary, and of no apparent consequence for reproduction. There is no scientific evidence that marijuana delays adolescent sexual development, has feminizing effect on males, or a masculinizing effect on females.



Myth: Marijuana Use During Pregnancy Damages the Fetus. Prenatal marijuana exposure causes birth defects in babies, and, as they grow older, developmental problems. The health and well being of the next generation is threatened by marijuana use by pregnant women.

Fact: Studies of newborns, infants, and children show no consistent physical, developmental, or cognitive deficits related to prenatal marijuana exposure. Marijuana had no reliable impact on birth size, length of gestation, neurological development, or the occurrence of physical abnormalities. The administration of hundreds of tests to older children has revealed only minor differences between offspring of marijuana users and nonusers, and some are positive rather than negative. Two unconfirmed case-control studies identified prenatal marijuana exposure as one of many factors statistically associated with childhood cancer. Given other available evidence, it is highly unlikely that marijuana causes cancer in children.


Myth: Marijuana Use Impairs the Immune System. Marijuana users are at increased risk of infection, including HIV. AIDS patients are particularly vulnerable to marijuana's immunopathic effects because their immune systems are already suppressed.

Fact: There is no evidence that marijuana users are more susceptible to infections than nonusers. Nor is there evidence that marijuana lowers users' resistance to sexually transmitted diseases. Early studies which showed decreased immune function in cells taken from marijuana users have since been disproved. Animals given extremely large doses of THC and exposed to a virus have higher rates of infection. Such studies have little relevance to humans. Even among people with existing immune disorders, such as AIDS, marijuana use appears to be relatively safe. However, the recent finding of an association between tobacco smoking and lung infection in AIDS patients warrants further research into possible harm from marijuana smoking in immune suppressed persons.



Myth: Marijuana Use is a Major Cause Of Highway Accidents. Like alcohol, marijuana impairs psychomotor function and decreases driving ability. If marijuana use increases, an increase in of traffic fatalities is inevitable.

Fact: There is no compelling evidence that marijuana contributes substantially to traffic accidents and fatalities. At some doses, marijuana affects perception and psychomotor performances- changes which could impair driving ability. However, in driving studies, marijuana produces little or no car-handling impairment- consistently less than produced by low moderate doses of alcohol and many legal medications. In contrast to alcohol, which tends to increase risky driving practices, marijuana tends to make subjects more cautious. Surveys of fatally injured drivers show that when THC is detected in the blood, alcohol is almost always detected as well. For some individuals, marijuana may play a role in bad driving. The overall rate of highway accidents appears not to be significantly affected by marijuana's widespread use in society.



Myth: Marijuana Related Hospital Emergencies Are Increasing, Particularly Among Youth. This is evidence that marijuana is much more harmful than most people previously believed.

Fact: Marijuana does not cause overdose deaths. The number of people in hospital emergency rooms who say they have used marijuana has increased. On this basis, the visit may be recorded as marijuana-related even if marijuana had nothing to do with the medical condition preceding the hospital visit. Many more teenagers use marijuana than use drugs such as heroin and cocaine. As a result, when teenagers visit hospital emergency rooms, they report marijuana much more frequently than they report heroin and cocaine. In the large majority of cases when marijuana is mentioned, other drugs are mentioned as well. In 1994, fewer than 2% of drug related emergency room visits involved the use of marijuana.



Enough info for you? Little boxes, little boxes.......lol

I hate my family. I never felt like I belong in this family at all. Everything they do annoys me, the way they walk, talk, and even breath. I just get so irritated with EVERYTHING they do. I can't stand them. I feel like they don't like me very much either. They have all been extremely jealous of my success and life for years. They all hang onto me and just want money.

My entrie family are evil, maniulative trouble makers.

Is it normal for me to be so irritated with them? I get so mad to the point where I'll scream at them on the phone for saying something stupid, pointless, and irrelevant to a conversation. Do other people feel this way?

Now, I only see them every few years and speak to a couple of people on the phone. I want them as far away from me as possible. They just bring me down and are negative.

Someone who I never met B4 just sent me photos of myself which I don't even remember from years ago when I was a teenager?

People from out of the woodwork are writting to me? I suppose I am just to hot to handle.

How do you know if your husband still loves you if he does not initiate hugs and kisses

ask him,its important that you share your feelings with each other,if your in a true relationship you shouldn't have a problem opening up to him!make sure you are truly honest to each other and then you can't go wrong! good luck!!
i agree with the first answer....open up to your partner and tell them how you feel, if you can do it better by writing him a letter, than sometimes i do that as well...this month will be 21 years for me and my hubby and communication is a big part of the relationship....i wish you well....

How can you tell if your husband is cheating on you?
Its easy to tell if your man is cheating on you... and if he is and you two aint married kick his ass to da curb!
now the first way to tell is if he shows less interest in you
he will not have sex with you for multiple times
and he would want to into public less with you
tell you i love you less
not let you look at his cell phone
strange numbers will appear on his phone
he will tell you he is going to hang with his friends more often
and the number one way to tell if your boyfriend is cheating on you is if he says......................................... "i was working late," a lot

OR if he says "im going to my uncles house for supper" then that means he is really going to a nightclub.

I keep getting these weird emails and my friends send me links to websites that say stuff about me....its not even true? It actually makes me laugh. People post my photos online and pretend to be me and they actually have conversations with the imposter and its hilarious.

There is hundreds of fake websites about me all over the place? WTH? People need to stop being so crazy, im tired of the stalkers. Im too busy for these pesants.

Sometimes, when I look in the mirror, I can't believe my reflection.
I walk by and I see this really really hot guy and it turns out to be me!

It actually shocks me. I am good looking but when I notice myself in a mirror I am stunned.

Ya, im a guy....but i love fur. Im a male model. Everyone keeps messaging me on facebook and myspace and telling me im bad....well I am not bad, I just happen to love fur. I have chinchilla,mink and fox. I would absolutely love to have a tigerskin fur coat, now that would be amazing. You can see me and all my sexy fur photoshoots on .
