Why does it seem as if you are a terrible person when jealousy comes up? I chose to talk about this cause because I haven't made a blog in a while, and I wanted to talk about something else that slightly irritated me again. The question on if it is okay to be jealous was really just a thought because of this one TikTok that was trending and became a discussion on TikTok with some stupid takes. The video was a rant some girl made. I don't remember it well, but she was talking to the internet about how she was jealous of her friend.
I haven't seen the actual video, and I don't remember what exactly made the person who uploaded the video jealous of her best friend. But the uploader received a lot of backlash from people acting as if this person had committed a murder. And it's weird watching people criticize someone for having normal human emotions. While I can say the person who uploaded the video probably shouldn't have come to TikTok to vent out her emotions if they wanted comfort. But people acting as if they have never felt jealous before is so baffling. But to also shame someone else for having that emotion is also so very stupid and hilariously sad.
Envy and jealousy are normal emotions. You have felt it before, and to shame someone else for feeling it because it does what? Criticizing another person's emotion won't make you any more of a better person, and it obviously has something to do with people wanting to act like they don't have a single ounce of hatred or "evil" in their heart. When that’s definitely not how the world works, and it definitely has something to do with purity culture, but that can be a whole conversation on its own, and how it kind of relates to a bigger issue and many other controversial things. But like I've said before, there's nothing wrong with being jealous, and people need to stop acting as if it's such a terrible thing.
The only time that jealousy can become an issue is when you act out on your emotions, and it bleeds out and hurts your friend. Just talk to someone, and people should stop talking about how other people should feel unless they're that person's therapist or know them. That's all.
