18 hrs confidence: | | i am a jealous guy Seloso ako
Explanation:
"Seloso" describes a jealous guy; "selosa" describes a jealous woman. "Guy" can already be omitted because 'seloso' already connotes a masculine gender.

18 hrs confidence: | | i am a jealous guy Mapanibughuin akong lalaki/mapanaghili akong lalaki
Explanation:
'Seloso ako' is conversational Tagalog, but if you want to appropriate the meaning of "jealous" in Tagalog as an alternative, then "mapanibughuin" or "mapanaghili" can be used. Should this meanings be used, then add the term "lalaki" for a guy or "babae" for a woman.
