Thoughts about my jealousy

Admittedly seem to deal with a lot more jealousy than either of my partners. At times this has bothered me. Not that i have a lot or its a big problem or anything, they are both just pretty laid back guys.
Because they are both introverts they may work through a lot of their issues internally and never talk about it once they have worked it though on their own. I, on the other hand, being an extrovert need to talk about things even if i have already sorted through it internally. So that may just makes it seem like i deal with more jealousy issues.
A lot of my 'jealousy' is because i do not like being alone and i am an attention whore lol, i really am. It's not really jealousy i just don't like 'my time' being taken away by other things (it doesn't matter if there is another person involved or not). If something comes up where my partner will not be available to spend time with me i generally try to make other plans so i am not left alone. Again this contrasts my introvert partners who very much need alone time anyway so don't tend to have these same issues.
I may still be more jealous than my partners, but i think the introvert/extrovert differences make it seem worse than it really is.
These realizations kinda put things in perspective for me and have made me feel a little better about my 'jealousy issues'.
