I use envy to mean a desire or wish that I had perhaps the better fortune or looks of someone else...
Jealousy, I feel is a much stronger emotion through fear or resentment of someone, almost to the point of hating them because you are wanting what they have or feel (in a relationship) threatened by their presence...
Example: I am envious of Johnny Depp's wife - but I'm not jealous of her!!

Hi Dot, I think it is quite a difficult question to answer as what to one person may be jealousy, another it may simply be ambition! I can't think of anything off my head that I could own up to, apart from a couple of bitchy comments about other colleagues whom I felt needed taking down a peg or two, but then perhaps I was just jealous!!

i always think jealousy is a negative emotion but envy isn't.
i envy my mates new car, but i am happy for her that she has it and i wouldn't want her not to have it just so i could.
if i wanted it instead of her it would be my jealousy.
jealous poeple want what others have and hate anyone having anything more than them, but envious people wish they had those things too but are glad that their mates are happy and doing well
