"Hi, I'm Patti German and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist here in New York City. In this clip we're going to talk about the difference between jealousy and envy. Of the two, envy is a healthier emotion. When you envy someone, you see what they have, you admire it and you want it for yourself. With jealousy, you don't want the other person to have it, it becomes a very deep, meanish kind of feeling. Envy is healthy and envy is good. It makes you strive for things, its wanting something, its working towards goals to get it. Jealousy is not wanting the other person to have it and it makes you very angry and very upset. If jealous feelings become very intense and very strong, they can lead to a lot of destruction. So again, this is Patty German in New York City."
