What is the difference between Jealous and Envy?
Envy can derive from a sense of low self-esteem that results from an upward social comparison threatening a person’s self image: another person has something that the envier considers to be important to have. Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, such as a relationship, friendship, or love. Essentially: Jealousy is fear of loss and Envy is to want what someone has in their denotative definitions.
