“Jealousy and envy both involve a feeling of desire for what another person has, but jealousy is usually thought to be more negative—it often involves resentment toward the other person. Envy is also a negative feeling—like a mix of admiration and discontent—but the word doesn’t usually imply hostility. Another difference is that envy can be used as both a noun and a verb.”

“Although both can involve uncomfortable feelings of desire for something you want, jealousy can include resentment, suspicion, and protectiveness and envy involves a mix of admiration and discontent.”
