  Don't get jealous. Not worth it.
  
  Always something else/better/more out there.

  If I could not get jealous, I would. :P
  It isn't something one can control.

  I tend to lash out at the person. But most of my jealousy stems from the fact that I don't think they're good enough to be around my friends and/or who I like. If I don't think you'd be good in any way, I make it known.

  Ah, trust me. I have as much self-control as a lot of people possibly could.
  Jealousy is an irrational emotion. Controlling it is like trying to tame a river.

  I rage. 8D
  Keeping things quiet (not just jealousy) doesn't usually work out so well for me.

  I've never really been jealous. Never saw the point in it. I mean if somebody likes someone more there isn't much I can do about it. I mean I can try and get better than the person but not like im gonna get mad over nothing.

  I think that I most likely have something better than they do. Then I feel like a better person because I know we each have our own bests to each other.

  This is...how you handle your own jealousy? By making yourself seem better than the other person? Your sentence doesn't make much sense.

  basically it's just telling yourself "I shouldn't be jealous, they have their strengths and I have mine"
  
  bottom line is that it's impossible for that person to be better at absolutely everything that you can and vice versa.
  
  that's what she's trying to say

  OTL i have a huge problem when it comes to jealousy, and it sucks. T_T whenever my boyfriend talks about another girl in any way, i get really jealous. >_< especially when he makes a new friend who is a girl, my brain goes crazy, thinking "is she cute? what if he starts liking her more than me? etc etc". it's not fun.
  
  a large part of why this happens is stemmed from my own lack of self-esteem. i'm constantly doubting myself lol. :C like when my boyfriend first told me that he liked me, my initial reaction was, "wait what, really? O_O;"

  There aren't many ways to get over jealousy, as far as my knowledge goes. Here's what I've got:
  
  1) Overcoming/obtaining the object of your jealousy
  
  Whether it be getting a car that your friend has that you really want, or claiming the boy you share feelings for with another girl, or getting past the hurdle of a five-minute mile that a track runner on your team set--this is one example of dealing with your jealousy.
  
  2) Becoming genuinely apathetic towards the object of your jealousy
  
  In other words, you just stop caring. Let it go.
  
  Now, there's a difference between "becoming genuinely apathetic towards" and "becoming ignorant of" the object of your jealousy. You may indulge in distractions to keep your mind off of it, but the fact that you're jealous still remains; it's simply been put off temporarily. Sooner or later, something may happen to bring those feelings back to haunt you.
  
  So how do you become genuinely apathetic towards the object of your jealousy? It's simple: you make the absolute decision to.
  
  It's a gradual process, but if you have the mindset of hanging onto it, then you won't go anywhere. Jealousy is a mindset you can control. It can't, however, be avoided. Envy is a part of human nature. For those who claim they have yet to experience it, it's all just a matter of what you really want. Not everyone will be jealous over a football game or a pair of shoes. Mindsets make that difference; the margin between people's wants.
  
  That's all I've got for you right now. Hope it helps.
