You can't just stop feeling a certain way because you want to, and you shouldn't. It's natural to be jealous.
I know what it's like, though. You feel guilty for feeling jealous? I feel guilty because I don't cry when someone close to me dies. You get "It shouldn't bother me but it does," I get "It should bother me but it doesn't".
But you know what? It doesn't matter. It's how you are, and you *shouldn't* try to change it--you don't owe it to anybody to change your nature.
That's running in line with the highest sort of law in Taoism, which Shakespeare phrased best: "This above all else--to thine own self, be true"
If I'm jealous of someone in specific, I tell them, usually. It means that they can understand to calm it down when they know I'm around. *shrugs* You'll be okay, man. *hugs* Take care, 'kay? Y'ah kew.

You're only human. Everyone gets jealous at one point or another...some moreso than others. It happens to the best of us. *shrugs* 'Tis life.
*huggles* You know you can talk to me about whatever whenever. I doubt you would want to, but meh. I'm here for ya. =)
