Jealousy is one emotion every human has experienced at one point in time, because its in our nature and it’s something normal which can not be avoided. Jealousy in this context arises when someone we love 💕 or care for tends to cares for another person, when we feel that others are better than us, when we have fear of loosing those that cares for us, and or when others get appreciated than us.

But the issue is how do we handle our feelings when we are cut up in this very emotion of being jealous due to how sometimes the feeling of this emotion can push us into taking drastic actions we might end up regretting if we don’t play cool and handle the situation properly .

In my own perspective, I see jealousy as a feeling we develop through insecurity because we are full of doubt towards loosing those we care about, being left behind by others and the insecurity of not meeting up with the standard we see and measure others in. When we see others progress faster than us, even though we started together. These are feelings that sprouts up from insecurity of not knowing how to appreciate what we have and where we have gotten to in life despite odds.

During my university years and my 9:00 - 5;00 years, I experienced insecurity feelings with some of my girls group friends , where there are always one problem or the other concerning how relationships cost 💲 so much due to lack of understanding and insecurity. I mean, relationships should be built without anyone envying another friend since we care see ourselves as one. But at some point, one or two among us could not continue being around us because of feeling of insecurity with lots of jealousy.

But what people don’t Know is that you need to be satisfied with what you have and cherish the love you receive at all times because each and everyone of us has their own charisma that makes us different from one another. And this is why self-confidence is very important as a tool that will continue to carry you to your destination. With self-confidence, you don’t need to look for those that will love you or care for you because it will surely come. So being jealous of others will not even arise.

And as I grow older, I learned to just stay with a friend or too to avoid jealousy and problems. And also learnt that love ❤️ cost 💲 so much. We need to first and foremost trust anyone we are in love with because it will save us lots of stress when it comes to doubt, which certainly is the root of insecurity that leads to jealousy. Like wise as couples, we don’t need to doubt our spouse, as long as we have not had any benefit of doubt to suspect him or her in a relationship. This is the only way couples age and enjoy their years of hard work called labor.
