It is okay to be jealous

if you are an insecure person like me

it is only natural to get jealous

i don’t care about people who make jealousy out to be something it is not

it is not like it drives me to go out and kill people

jealousy might not be ideal but one can find their way

I am never jealous for long myself i get over it pretty fast. I wouldn’t mind making as much money as a doctor I am jealous of doctors. I get tired of being stuck behind the computer. Maybe I can try to be a manager if I am not talking to myself.

lol Saynow has some of the best threads here nvt (nevertheless)

If there is good reason for it

I had a friend years ago that was way out of control with it, he drove his GF off by his controlling ways

She was not allowed to talk to other men, cover everything up so none of her body was showing etc, was crazy. he even made her cut up a nice evening gown she bought for a xmas dinner cause it showed to much

So a little jealous displays love, a lot will drive off your partner

It’s a waste of energy that can be used enjoying yourself elsewhere.

it is not easy to just remove jealousy though in some circumstances

on the plus side it makes me work hard

on the minus side, i lose the person that I am jealous of

but it is for the best

to reduce jealousy

It’s an extremely common human emotion. To feel it is normal in this fallen world but the goal is to never let your emotions run you.

Your rationality has to be the leader of your mind because it’s in line with the objective truth and not just your own subjective emotions

You can develop this I think from developing the virtue of wisdom. Which I think comes from solitude and letting your mind settle so it can think clearly

If ones mind is like muddy water, if they sit in silence and solitude for some time their minds will settle and all the dirt will sink to the bottom leaving clear water (or a clear mind).

Silent reflection, contemplation, thinking, prayer.

To have someone be jealous of me, or jealous of me spending time with someone else… that would actually be humbling.

I don’t often feel jealous though, I just let things happen. I need to be more committed to people I think.

Developing the virtue of fortitude might also help you to have more confidence as well so you could chip away at the problem from two angles. Fighting jealousy and being more confident.

In my understanding “work” is the primary action for developing fortitude. You already seem pretty confident to me tbh but something like exercising could also give you that boost of confidence. It makes us less emotionally over sensitive.

Only a few days ago you said you wanted to be in an open relationship and would be okay with it.

If you are now saying you are a jealous person you would not be okay with an open relationship.

It’s okay to be jealous sometimes, if it is warranted, like your partner shows interest in someone else repeatedly or cheats on you.
