The "Jealousy" vs "envy" that you describe are actually called "benign envy" and "malicious envy" in academic literature.
Otherwise, envy and jealously are used differently seemingly by area, and have been used differently depending on the time period.
EDIT; And as an additional note, I'd say there's a third type too. I was emotionally abused as a child and teen, And when I see other people being affectionate and happy with their families, I experience extreme pain. That doesn't mean I want them to lose their families or anything, But it does cause me a lot of pain and yet there is no potential for resolution (improvement). This gives rise to despair, especially if you fail to create a new family in friends, like i failed to.
One might name this a different term than envy, but really theres no sense in that, because the only thing that differs compared to benign envy is the potential for resolution.

@___.51 I assure you, the other stressors in my childhood, even without financial ones were enough to cause me severe c-PTSD and completely destroy me as a person. I was also bullied for having been raised in a been middle class household, even though i didnt have more freedom than the lower class kids.
I was denied medical care despite my parents having had the money to afford it, i now have brain damage from
untreated epilepsy.
So certainly, i associate the middle class still with a combination of a lack of freedom and lack of community and social acceptance because i was seen as "the rich". AND indeed, i was socially rejected exactly because the other lids were envious of an imagined middle class ideal that i didnt actually fulfill (i was in worse circumstances than any of them).
Because of what happened im likely going to be lower class in the future.
Ofc, my experience is very specific, the imprinting and associations to trauma and social rejection are very strong, and its dnvy that motivated other kids to hate me, but i think there is too much generalisation in this video, and reduction of a complex set of motivators by only mentioning and covering one of them, which once a viewer has soe biases can work to boost them.
