Jealousy is like having a little voice in your head that says, 'Why not me?' When you see someone else getting a prize or doing something amazing, it can feel unfair. It's like watching your friend eat the last slice of pizza, you're happy for them, but you also wish it was you.
Examples
- Your classmate gets a scholarship, and you feel jealous even though you’re happy for them.
- You see your sibling get promoted at work, and it makes you wonder why they got the job instead of you.
- Your friend wins a contest, and you feel like they cheated, even though you know they didn’t.
