Overcoming Jealousy
Stop comparing yourself to others
Comparing yourself to others is one of the sources of jealousy and that feeling is very unpleasant. It makes you feel less that you are and until you stop comparing yourself to others, there is very little chance that you might overcome jealousy.
Nothing positive ever comes out of the feeling of jealousy. It is an unbearable emotional feeling and once it grips you jealousy will surely make you go crazy. Jealousy can make you become physically and mentally sick even to the point that you become unable to really focus on anything else. Jealousy will make you feel worthless and even drive you to do or say something that you would end up regretting later (things that you cannot take back). …show more content…
Most people would justify the feeling of betrayal and jealousy as only a natural response to the act of infidelity or suspected act of infidelity. In this case the feeling of jealousy would be seen as caused by an external factor – the action of another person. However, the feeling of jealousy is often self-created and inflicted. It begins like a little drop of water on your mind, but soon that seemingly little drop of emotional water will turn to become an ocean that overcomes your whole being. At that point it would have become like a poison that takes over your whole life leading inevitably to the destruction of your self-esteem –loss of your dignity and pride. Once this happens your relationship has already lost the most important dynamics that it needs to feed upon to thrive, such dynamics as trust and self-confidence.
The value of trust and self-confidence cannot be over emphasized. Trust is pivotal – it is the oxygen that your relationship breathes upon for a living. Self-confidence is infectious. It sparks en emotional response in your partner that says that you are not a needy or clingy person, and that is always awesome. This is because adults get into relationships as equals and no one has time or the temperament to baby another adult as if they were children
