You said

I feel jealous

Inside you, right now

Sadness wants a witness more than a solution.

The feeling

A mix of fear, comparison, and care. Something or someone you value feels threatened.

The body signal

Hot chest. Tight stomach. A spike of urgency.

Possible chemistry

Cortisol and adrenaline rise; dopamine prediction error fires — "I expected this to be mine."

Nervous system mode

Threat + attachment system together.

The urge

Investigate, accuse, control, retreat.

The trap

Investigating to feel safe. Each new clue gives a 30-second hit and a longer ache; the data won't deliver peace.

The next move

Name the underlying need beneath the suspicion. Speak from fear, not accusation.

Pick one — small is fine

What changed, even a little?
