Peter thinks that he's playing it cool when he gets jealous. He doesn't realize that nearly everyone can tell his behavior has changed. He doesn't want to admit to having any insecurities but he always feels that you're better than the Guardians and that you shouldn't be stuck with the team because you could be a badass saving a thousand worlds if you wanted to. Most of the time when he's jealous it comes out by him telling stories and over exaggerating everything. In whatever way he can he wants to impress you, even when that often leads to him making a fool of himself.
Yondu doesn't believe that he gets jealous but the rest of the crew knows that to be a lie. The easiest way to pinpoint when Yondu is jealous is when he starts showing off. Starting contests in the ship, anything he knows he can win, picking up jobs that are exceptionally dangerous because he can brag if everything goes right. Anything and everything that might get him to seem like the better person or like a more successful person is the only thing running through his head. It's best to let most of it play out until he realizes that there isn't a reason to be jealous but do be prepared to calm him down because he can get a little hot headed in certain scenarios.
Drax is actually the most calm when it comes to jealousy. It probably comes from the fact that he has virtually no filter and will say whatever comes to his mind. The frequency of stories from his past is a surefire indicator of jealousy for Drax but it's easy to handle. Whenever Drax becomes jealous it's best to just have a discussion with him about what's made him jealous. Communication is key for him and it's a benefit to the both of you that you can speak openly and honestly to one another regarding his jealousy. Not to mention it does give you a chance to ask questions about the stories that are actually fairly entertaining.
Gamora is the one you have to watch out for when she gets jealous. Unlike the rest she won't try and gain attention and she's certainly not going to make it known that she's jealous. Instead she's going to take out her jealous on whoever or whatever is making her jealous. This can be anything from making empty threats to the person, asking them to spar with her and going full force without any breaks, telling stories of her past actions just too terrify. She knows she's jealous and that jealousy is a common emotion but that doesn't mean she wants to feel that way and that doesn't mean she isn't going to do whatever she can in whatever way, to ease the jealousy.
