"Jealousy, which is blindfolded, is not only powerless to discover anything in the darkness that surrounds it, it is also one of those torments whose purpose is to begin again incessantly." - Marcel Proust
When we talk about relationships, whether they are love, friendship, friendship, a form of jealousy can inevitably appear, which is different from envy.
But... what does jealousy mean, how does it appear and how does it manifest itself?
Jealousy is a strong, natural, instinctive, sometimes tormenting and obsessive emotion, which manifests itself through high discomfort, based on the fear of abandonment, mistrust and appears in the relationship with a person towards whom there is affection, love and the need for control. br
Statistics show a higher percentage of women as being jealous, and this is due to the fact that the female sex is much more open in terms of the externalization of feelings.
Identify where jealousy comes from, what is behind this emotion, talk directly with your partner about the anxieties that try you and see if the manifestation of jealousy helps you in the evolution/consolidation of the relationship (romantic, work, between friends and family members). Cheating is not about one's own person, but about the partner's decision to lie, respectively to betray, instead, jealousy is distrust in yourself!
The more you become aware of the lack of benefits and the negative consequences behind jealousy, as well as the imbalance in the relationship, up to the loss of a valuable person, the faster you can reap the fruits of a life in harmony.
Increased self-esteem, self-valuation, confidence in one's own strength, anchoring in reality without creating gloomy and unrealistic scenarios are supporting landmarks that help you avoid the context of jealousy.
What do we do when jealousy arises between siblings? Validate successes, encourage teamwork, cooperation, inclusion in simple and complex tasks, spend one-on-one time with each child.
And does a little jealousy damage a relationship or is it proof of love?
Jealousy overshadows love!
