jealousy
Green-eyed feeling
Jealousy is a feeling that may arise when a rival succeeds and you fall short.
In love relationships, jealousy is often related to suspicions or fears that your partner prefers someone else.
Jealousy is similar to envy, but jealousy arises when two people share a common interest or rank, and envy arises when there is a disparity in rank.
Sexual jealousy, professional jealousy, and petty jealousy are the most frequently used phrases.
