What is ur definition of jealous? I think that it's when someone has something you want and your jealous of that person but my friends say that I can't use that as an explaintion because i used the word jealous so what do you think jealous is? Not the dictionary definition.

To be envious of something

To be envious of something (anything ie personality, physical features, their gf or bf, possessions, list goes on...) that someone else has to the point where you wish you had what they have/had. Could be interpreted as a sign of selfishness, or just a little innocent "oh I'm so jealous you get to go to Mexico and get tanned" type a thing, oor could be something complicated like being jealous about the girl you like going out with some other girl oh gosh I really didn't think this through! ?? I donno, never really thought to hard about that before lol.

when you resent someone for

when you resent someone for having something which you don't have but would like to have.

you can also be jealous when you resent someone because you BELIEVE that he/she has what you would like to have, while it may not even be true.
