Jealousy And Effective Solutions For It
This blog post has been specifically designed to help those who are struggling with jealousy, and it is a must-read for anyone experiencing the issue. What is jealousy? Jealousy can be defined as an emotion or feeling of insecurity and anger toward another person because they possess something you desire. For example, if you're feeling jealous that your partner has a lot of friends or close connections with people in their life, this could cause resentment, stress, and even negative thoughts about yourself. This can lead to situations such as feeling neglected or unimportant in your relationship when your partner pays more attention to other people than they do to you. One of the main causes of jealousy stems from the fact that it can be a difficult emotion to understand and deal with. Many people who are experiencing jealousy think they know what is going on within their relationships, but this is not always the case. In general, jealous people follow some of the following symptoms:
1. They find it hard to express themselves or communicate feelings about their emotions. These feelings tend to manifest themselves in different ways, often manifesting as anger rather than sadness and resentment.
2. They feel that they are being mistreated without realising why this may be happening or what exactly is happening between them and their partner/s.
3. They attribute the reasons for their jealousy as being possibly irrational, with no real cause of why they are feeling it.
4. They have a tendency to focus on their partner's emotional state, feeling that it is the only valid way to judge the quality of their relationship and whether or not it is going well. This can include looking at how often your partner cries or how happy your partner appears, but this focus may lead you to believe that your partner is not being honest with you when they tell you that they are happy and there are no underlying problems within your relationship.
5. They may feel jealous about aspects within their partners' close relationships that don't exist in yours.
6. They may see jealousy as a negative emotion and think that it is unnecessary. They tend to believe that if their partner did not have these emotions or possess these things that they would be happy and content with their partner.
7. They may feel jealous about what their partner does on social media and about how close your partner is to friends and family members through social media.
8. If you are experiencing jealousy, try to keep in mind that the issue is primarily not about you but about the relationship of your partner with others in their life.
9. The other party may not be giving you your fair share of attention and this can cause jealousy towards you.
10. Sometimes, jealousy may stem from the fear of losing something that is meaningful to the individual experiencing it.
11. If your partner is in a relationship with someone else, jealousy could be caused by how much time they spend with that person compared to how much time they are spending with you and their previous partners/friends. This could also mean that your partner is spending less time with you than they did in their previous relationship/friendship, which can also lead to jealousy as well as feeling neglected or unimportant in your relationship if they do this all the time.
12. Jealousy could also stem from feeling that your partner or a person close to them is being unfaithful. However, sometimes jealousy can arise if you don't believe your partner would cheat without your knowledge.
13. Some people get jealous when they feel that their partner doesn't have enough time for them, which can happen when you are having a lot of friends in your life as well.
14. If you feel jealous about the amount of attention that new people in your partner's life are getting from them, this could be caused by envy or feeling that the priority of the relationship is with these new people rather than you and your partner (whether this is true or not).
15. Also, if you are jealous of your partner's close friends or new acquaintances who they spend a lot of time with and feel that they are spending more time with than you, this could be caused by jealousy stemming from not feeling valued in their life and them having the priority in their life.
16. Jealousy can also stem from feeling that the other party is being sold out to a third party, or about being cheated on.
17. If you are feeling jealous about someone stealing your partner's time, you may need to check yourself and think about why that is.
18. Sometimes, jealousy can be caused by the self-conscious feeling of betrayal toward you, which can be a result of your partner spending a lot of time with other people in their life and feeling that they are turning their back on you and how much they care for you, which can cause them to feel jealous.
19. Jealousy can also arise because of the belief that your partner isn't able to communicate effectively with others or is being isolated from other people around them.
20. Jealousy can feel like this because you are worried about the other person talking about you behind your back and not telling you that they are doing this, which is not necessarily true.
21. Jealousy can also be caused by feeling that your partner isn't being honest with you in their communication, which can lead to insecurity within the relationship.
22. If all of these feelings have come up for you, it's best to have a frank and open discussion with your partner about what is going on within the relationship and how you feel, leaving no room for misunderstanding or indifference between the two of you.

You do have a choice as to how you view jealousy and what actions you take when suffering from it. This will be based on your perception of it in relationship to yourself and your partner/s.
Conclusion
Jealousy or envy can be caused by a number of different reasons, which means that this emotion cannot be reduced to one single thing. This means that jealousy is not always bad and is not something that should extinguish the love you have in your relationship.
Jealousy is a part of everyone's life when it comes to relationships and your perception of it will influence how you deal with it and how you would like for it to manifest within your relationship.
There are two areas where jealousy can arise from within relationships. These are: 1) feelings of insecurity and 2) feelings of being excluded from your partner's life and experiencing their attention entirely as coming towards someone else instead of you.
