JEALOUSY

JEALOUSY

Fear, anticipated loss, insecurity and anxiety are just some of the feelings that signal the emotion of jealousy. Jealousy combines emotional states such as anger, sadness, resentment
and other low level states to form this behavior and though process.

Signs of jealousy include fear of loss, distrust, sadness, suspicion of betrayal, uncertainty. In relationships it can manifest when one partner suspects the other of having feelings or relations with a rival, threatening the current partnership. The
jealous person will show forms of behavior to self regulate the relationship. Men are more affected by the sexual infidelity of a
cheating spouse. Females are more affected by the emotional infidelity (feeling of abandonment) and thoughts of being replaced.

CURE: Realize that you do not “own” anyone except yourself and that other people are free of choice in their thoughts to like and want whatever they want. True love is letting someone else be themselves. True jealousy is not letting someone be themselves.
