    Don't be too hard on yourself jealousy is only a natural reaction when someone has what you want. People get jealous all the time, and it doesn't get any better as you get older I am 30+ and I still get jealous of people and I will not apologise for this like I said it is natural reaction. Sorry that I cannot offer you any other advice other than remember that your feelings are perfectly normal an yes justified at times, too and it is how you react to these feelings that count not how you actually feel x

    Jealousy is the emotion when you fear something or someone might be taken away from you. If this is what you are constantly feeling I would say it is insecurity and you might want to work on that. I myself thing you may mean envious which envy is the emotion when you want something that someone else has. I think that envy is normal. I agree that how you react is the important part though.

    Don't worry too much about it, jealously is normal. Hell, there was a time when I was so lonely because I felt like no one would ever love me and I was jealous of my parent's relationship. I was like WTF, why my parents?
    However, with your confidence problem, I'm not too sure, I have very low self-esteem. Hmmm... perhaps what you could do is just treat yourself sometimes how I do. Like, get your hair done or do a facial or something. Something that you know would boost your confidence, even if it's just for a day. Don't forget to look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you're beautiful. If you ever want anything out of life, just don't talk about it, do it.
    Sorry for the cheesiness... just trying to help. :3
