I think you mean envy.
Envy = You have that thing and I want that thing.
Jealousy = I have this thing and I want you not to have this thing.
"jealous: feeling or showing an envious resentment of someone or their achievements, possessions, or perceived advantages."
"Synonyms: envy, covetousness"
It is mostly incorrectly used by people to depict envy. Also it became also a cool factor. "Your trip to Jamaica makes me jealous". Huh ? Envy is about "a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck."
So you are actually envious. So stop being resentful at someone's luck or connections :)
Jealousy: "I am sure X is trying to steal my boyfriend/girlfriend away from me."
