| Why am I jealous? |
Jealousy is very complex because it involves such a wide range of emotions, thoughts and behaviours. We've all experienced jealousy at some time in our lives, although the reasons why each of us gets jealous and the emotions we feel may differ.
You need to work out why you’re feeling the green-eyed emotion. If you feel a pang of jealousy occasionally don’t feel too bad, everyone feels it sometimes. We’re rarely satisfied with what we’ve got and sometimes feeling a bit jealous makes us work harder to get the things we want. However, if reality is out the window and you’re insanely jealous about everything and everyone, the problem is more complex. You’ll notice that you only get envious of things you WANT. Say for example if your friend gets better exam grades than you, you’ll get envious. So pay attention to what you're envious of. If it's a secret dream of yours, build up the courage to go after it yourself. |
