Jealousy

[FishyEnthusiest]

I am just wondering how many of you experience jealousy. This seems to be something I cannot experience which my boyfriend finds quite appealing, but I am not sure if this is just part of my aspergers or not. So do you get jealous? If so what makes your jealous? I am very curious about this because it has never happened to me before. Some people think it is a confidence issue, but I am not a confident person so I don't think that is it.

Well it depends on what you mean by jealous. I get jealous and frustrated because I want to make friends, but its always way easier or at least seems way easier for people who don't have AS. So I do get jealous of other friends with their friends but if you are talking about in like significant other thing then no.

I get jealous of people that can make friends easily, get to be able to drive, get to be in relationships...I just want to know what that's like.

I don't know if it's jealousy... I kinda learned to let go of "craving" what other people have going on. In my rationale I figured that having X comes with Y responsibility, and I don't know if that would work for me.

I do get slightly irate if people tend to play the jealousy card on me by stating what they have and kinda go like "don't you want that as well?". Well... no? Why would I? Stop trying to make me jealous of whatever you have going on.
