  • That would depend on how astute the observer is.

    Jealousy can be hidden by compliments. Great question, who would've thought? This post was edited by O-uknow at December 19, 2017 6:47 PM MST

  • Jealousy is nearly impossible to disguise or to hide. It's been a problem for me for a long time. I found that the one in whom I had invested so much jealousy and envy, really was jealous of me for reasons of his own. That was when I started being comfortable in my own skin.

    I agree with each answer above.  I think jealousy comes out in many different ways.  Sometimes people act like they don't need you.  Others will be very insecure and readily show that.  Some will put you down every chance they get.  And yes, I think some will trip over their feet with the compliments to hide what is inside.  

    Thankfully I really don't experience jealousy anymore.  I have come to learn that everyone carries a burden that I may or may not know a thing about.

  • I've been absent for a while due to studies, and more recently a lightening strike taking out our phone and internet.
    Great to see you again, PeaPod. I enjoyed the thoughtfulness and wisdom of your answer.

    Thank-you Hartfire.  I love seeing you are still out there.  I have had a lot of stuff going on in my real life, but glad I am finally getting back into the swing of things.

    No you can't hide it and I say when you see the first sign of it, run the other way.
    If you see it in a mate get out before it get's worse.
    People think it's cute or think they must really love me. Neither is the case.
    It starts out small and then snowballs into a major problem.

    Yes it does, whether it be romantic jealousy or friendship/family.  If they can be honest about it and work on it, yeh, there is a chance.  But it's usually a relationship killer.

    It can be helped if people work on self image and self esteem.
    That is where the problem lies if they are lacking those two things it will never change.

    Yes, but it is very important to mask the green eyes.

    If we're paying close attention to the interaction between people, I don't think anyone can.   

    Good thing I don't get jealous. :-D

    A very good sign that you are with people that bring the best out in you and that you are secure.
