The definition you would get if you googled or looked up jealous in a dictionary

[โ€“] Melobol@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

feeling angry or unhappy because someone you like or love is showing interest in someone else.

That's not friendship but trust issues and dependency.

So you single out that one useage but ignore the possesive and protective useage of the word. What was your purpose of commenting on this post?

I asked you for clarification, you answered and now you are blaming me for giving you an answer you don't like.

Jealous behavior acceptable in preteens only. Above that age is just pure insecurity and just freaking nasty thing to deal with.

It's not that you gave me an answer I didn't like. You read part of the definition and went off that. If you read 1 third of a book then you likely wouldn't have a well structured opinion of the book right?

Again I asked you for clarification and after your answer I quoted the first, number one main, grammatically correct definition.
And you are still being unhappy. Are you the jealous person you are asking about?

Jesus christ dude, blocked as fuck
