What is jealousy and do I need to fight it?
id: 10045501

Jealousy manifests itself as a reaction to injustice, due to anxiety and feelings of helplessness, inability to express love, or egocentrism – the rejection of other points of view, except their own.

For adults, the reasons for jealousy are the fear of not receiving the attention of a significant person, losing the attention and love of loved ones, as well as envy of someone because of their achievements, living conditions, and other reasons. The main factor in the manifestation of jealousy is the feeling of a threat to something important, and the threat may be far-fetched. We are most jealous in romantic relationships.

Jealousy is inherent in everyone, and it is normal to feel it. This feeling has been cemented in us for the sake of survival, as we have had to fight for survival for most of our history. Now a woman is able to raise a child on her own, and jealousy for the sake of survival is not needed. Keeping a partner, no matter what, is no longer necessary, it is more important to build a comfortable and healthy relationship. Jealousy is worth accepting, but do not let it take control of yourself: strong and aggressive outbursts of jealousy destroy relationships and harm everyone!!!
