Whats the difference between being possessive and being jealous?
I don't get jealous but i had an experience recently where i got possessive for the first time and it was not pretty. Since i dont get jealous, i didnt know how to handle that feeling of feeling like i owned somebody and people need to know. Thats what happened. I was messing around with a guy and didnt even like him that much but once these girls appeared, i just felt like he was mine and they better recognize. They could do whatever they want with him just know that me and him were an item and respect that. So i got my first taste of being possessive but jealous? I dont think that was jealousy. TO me, jealousy is when everyone invloved in the situation ties in with the insecurities like if i started hating on the girls then yah but i didnt it was all about my insecurities of losing him to someone else that was pretty and the fact that i wanted them to know we were an item with whatever they wanted to have or do with him. Its kind of confusing but thats why im here. I feel like there is a difference between these two terms so for those who do too what are they? For those who dont think so, why not? Im open to all opinions because maybe ill learn something or two :-)
