I've really never met anyone in my life who was jealous of me about anything.

But, I have met plenty of people who thought I was a selfish, arrogant, cold-hearted prick. Or, a maladjusted, anti-social, idiot who can't string a sentence of words together without getting nervous about facing public rejection for stating the obvious.

Quite the reverse, in fact. I tend to get crucified every time I open my mouth at all, so I've gotten very good at just not saying anything. Not much to be jealous of, is there? - when I say and do so very little in front of other people. I try as hard as I can to attend to serious matters outside the awareness and... interference... of other human beings. Most of whom are completely incapable of recognizing the importance of my wisdom anyway.

Which is to say, there's actually plenty about me to be jealous of. But, nobody will ever see it, and nobody will ever value it appropriately.

They couldn't even if they tried.

My entire school started out as jealous and now a good majority of them hate me...PEOPLE HAVE FOUGHT ME on the basis they're smarter or more atheletic than me and then I have to state various examples of how the shear thought of being more intelligent than me proves your stupidity. And I try to explain that I'm not being arrogant just that it's logically impossible. Now, I suspect that our high expectations are the cause of this jealousy. I frequently ask my parents and friends for their opinion on my progress and they always say dude you're exceeding...it's as if there goal is to be smarter than their teachers and more atheletic than the football players...as opposed to the intj...my intellect and success...Da Vinci, Einstein...and for my body...professional male models. Of course I don't blame them for starting fights..I frequently speak my mind, like how I pitty them all for not realising their true potential...for being sheep.

Things like that I tend to not pick up on, more often than not I am too busy going about my own business.

I was reading this thread INTJs are not gods and thought about my past experiences, Since my youth I had difficult times with jealous people even adults, I can remember some events clearly, one time (I was 8) I heard the father of my pen friend (and he was a far family) talking to his son that no matter what happens he must score better than me at school (accidently I was behind the door and heard every word and kept it for myself).

Did you encounter any jealous people in your life, how did you manage them?

I've never heard about it, no, though it's possible that people have felt envy towards me. Honestly I think it's more likely that people justify their feeling of inferiority to me by telling themselves that I'm a weirdo for being good at X thing. They're more likely to dismiss any envy they may experience than actually act it out or state it.

When people say stuff like, "I'm kind of jealous of you," or, "I wish I could do/be like that," I take it more as admiration than actual jealousy. Why would they say anything about it if they honestly resented me for having those qualities? Wouldn't they just avoid me or find some other, more socially acceptable reason to revile me?

Come to think of it, the SP's usually are the admirers; the SJ's are more likely to revile.

It's happened to me several times in the past. There was that guy in elementary who would constantly nag me and try to piss me off because I got good grades. There was a lot competition in school, though. He would try and "hurt" my self-esteem or whatever. I threw him off all the time with comebacks and it took him a few minutes to actually form something that could get back at me. It was really quite pathetic. Soon, I just gave up and let him make himself look stupid. And there was that other girl who thought I was such a "teacher's pet", a title that I didn't really care about. All I thought about her was that she was stupid to complain about someone doing better and actually trying, yet she was simply sitting there whining her head off. So far, those a the only two times.

Ignoring stupid people, "snobbing" them, giving off an air of superiority is the best solution. I don't know why but it hurts more than anything, it is the ultimate rejection when a person is "nothinged" by someone else, it feels very dehumanising.
