Since childhood, people have been jealous. First, this feeling arises in relation to parents, then to friends, and then jealousy manifests itself to a loved one. Disputes amid jealousy can destroy any relationship. So why does this feeling arise and is there any way to deal with it?
Jealousy in a certain sense can be inherited. The distant ancestors of mankind were guided by this feeling in order to win the treasured booty or eliminate the rival. Jealousy in a sense began to mean competitiveness. And in the modern world, it is thanks to this feeling that people are forced to take care of themselves and be in good shape.
The very concept of jealousy for a loved one can flatter. The fact that someone loves a person and is jealous of others, allows you to feel superiority. But everyone is madly annoyed when someone begins to interfere in personal affairs, whether it is control over the mail, or a ban on communication with the opposite sex.
According to some reports, the feeling arises due to low self-esteem and lasts from early childhood. It is one thing when a child grows up surrounded by love and mutual understanding, and quite another if he constantly feels anxiety and does not feel any support from others. Jealousy often arises in people who are insecure, lonely and devoid of feelings of love.
Jealousy can move a person to terrible things. Failure to control your feelings often causes great harm to others. You can call a feeling of jealousy a disease, and in this case, talk with doctors about methods of monitoring the situation.
Jealousy can also be caused by self-superiority over others. High self-esteem makes a person believe that people should pay special attention to him.
What steps can be taken to suppress this feeling? To begin with, it is worth recognizing the presence of such emotions. Emotions are not destructive, but actions can harm. Having realized jealousy, one should not deny this feeling, but acknowledge it and consult with a specialist.
People may like other people, and it would be strange if, having started dating someone, the partner has lost sympathy for others.
Instead of burning jealousy, you should try to overestimate your attitude and find strength and words to express your positive emotions to others and learn how to compliment others. The ability to hide jealousy will greatly facilitate the life of loved ones and the person himself.
