In moments of fit a fear of loss this can bring out the worst in us, especially when it comes to relationships. They call this fear of loss, jealousy. So don’t be surprised when it occurs it’s often times an involuntary response to perceived threats including losing the attentions and love of whom we most admire. Can be hard on the psyche. What is making me feel not good enough. What is making me feel insignificant. Don’t compare yourself. It is said jealousy “can be managed by fostering self-esteem, improving communication, and setting clear boundaries.” [1] Is it the attention we crave? How do we respond when we don’t get the results that we wanted or the love and attention we so crave. They say that people come around when you least expect it, so keep busy, bettering yourself. You can’t make someone love you or pay attention to you. Often times we fear that if we bring it up it may take a negative toll on our relationships or be outright denied as though there is something wrong with us not the situation that we are grieving from. According to one article jealousy can be a “by-products of our competitive, consumer-driven culture.” [2] Maybe we can’t keep up with what everyone has. That doesn’t mean don’t be happy with what you have in life. You’re not the only one who feels this way. Stay rooted in your desire to be the best person that you can be and may the best man win.
