Are you jealous?

Are you jealous?

1. When you have something on your mind you tend to:
Pretend nothing’s wrong
Let it out all at once
Keep your feelings to yourself
Talk about it
2. You are supposed to be chairing a meeting alongside a colleague whom everyone thinks is fantastic. You:
Let her just get on with it if she’s so great
Go along with it, reminding yourself you are just as capable of impressing
Make a big scene about no one asking you your opinion
Ask her advice on how best to go about it
3. You’re over at a friend’s for dinner and your partner is laughing with another man/woman at the table. You:
Feel a twinge of jealousy
Go over and ask what’s so funny
Think that it’s perfectly all right
Try and listen to their conversation from the other side of the room
4. Your sister has just bought the car you have always dreamed of owning. You tell her:
Ah well, we’ll have two the same!
Wow, it’s an amazing car
I’m very happy for you
I was more interested in a different model
5. Your partner is showing you pictures of his friends when a picture of his ex falls out of the album. You:
Don’t want to linger over it too long
Compare yourself with her
Tell him he’s got good taste
Hope he throws it away afterwards
6. No one has mentioned your latest painting, of which you are very proud. You:
Assume that you’ll never amount to anything
Suspect that they think it’s ugly
Assume that they’ve got other things on their minds
Ask people what they think of it
7. Your partner is going out without you. You:
Make the most of it and invite a friend over to watch DVDs
Accuse him/her of preferring their friends’ company to yours
Tell him/her not to worry, you’re tired anyway
Pretend you’re not bothered but interrogate one of his/her friends about it the next day
8. Your parents ask for your brother’s opinion about something, but don’t consult you. You think:
They’ve always preferred my brother
They’re no doubt punishing me for something
My brother’s better placed to advise on this one
It’s a shame they didn’t come to me — I could have given them some good advice
9. You’re in a restaurant with a friend and a really gorgeous man won’t leave her alone. You think:
She always gets the attention
She has amazing powers of seduction
Love is in the air
I’m not here to play gooseberry
10. You’re in a bar and someone is boasting that they’ve been out with someone famous. You:
Let them carry on. It’s not that exciting
You invent a relationship with someone even more famous
Watch out for the slip that will prove he/she is bluffing
Listen attentively
