why am i so jealous?

Question

other than the fact that i have good reason to be.

Answer 1

you are jealous because yu are insecure... if you are jealous with your boyfrined you are not secure that he loves you and that he will not run off with someone else...
hey.. you could not trust him.. or not trust yourself.. i hope its the first one, though.
so... you have to identify if the problem is yours or his.. and act from there.. good luck!

Answer 2

As if men are not jealous. But "reason" is exactly the reason: reason being the "faculty" (rather the *habit*) of perceiving objects (and the subject, too, is a kind of object). You can be jealous by "virtue" of the idea that your "soul" might be transferred to another person's body, into another person's life... But that is not the case. Your "soul" is the center of *your* body, of *your* life: without your body and your world (and your body is part of your world), your soul would *not exist*... So your problem is that you're dissatisfied with your world. Why? There cannot be any doubt: because you're dissatisfied with *yourself*... Now what can you do about that? Not acquiesce in your pitiful situation. But I don't want you to snap out of it. No use in snapping. I want you to affirm the way things are: affirm your situation, take it by the forelock. Easier said than done, of course; but doing it is the challenge of life. This is your fate, your task, your way to greatness. Make yourself proud.

Answer 3

I get jealous now and then too. I just don't usually let it affect my actions too much because I've been with too many overly jealous guys and I know how annoying they are. And yes, you can be jealous when you implicitly trust whoever you're being jealous about, so it's not always an insecurity thing. Sometimes it's just "they get to spend time with him now and I can't until later".

Answer 4

You've no good reason to be jealous for 2 reasons;
1. I'm not all that worth the effort to be jealous over
2. If you were interested in me, where'd be the reason to be jealous, you've no competition and i'm trustworthy if ya did want and had me?
So there ya go, no need to be jealous at all so dont. No one likes leprechauns anyway!

Answer 6

Because you fear betrayal. You cannot accept freeing someone that makes you feel whole. Otherwse, leaving your heart in fragments. The threat of infidelity eats at your stomach and makes you want to vomit. You feel helpless and abandoned, and must latch on to the ones who may betray you for fear of being swallowed whole by the void of life. It is due to this that you afraid to put trust in someone you love.

You are also jealous because you have not been given enough reassurance, instating your trust in that person. You need to feel special and wanted, and have not been given that feeling by anyone. Your intimacy with other people is somehow incomplete and fragile.

There is a center of darkness that resides within you, that you could never bear to face, and the threat of that darkness awakening culminates in anger at the thought of infidelity.

Ultimately, fear. Fear is what makes you so jealous. Fear that you are not worthy enough of another person's love. Fear that you will be left lonesome. Fear that people's intentions are immoral. Fear that you will be left shattered and abandoned, and jealousy is your way of conquering that fear.

Answer 7

Possible causes (only you can know the truth):

Because you're a human being like everybody else.

Also, because you don't trust yourself or the fact that life can work or that you deserve or can have whatever it is you're jealous of. Good luck.

Answer 8

OK, it`s a natural human reaction. But it only makes you suffer, even if you have good reason to be. Jealousy is the result of a sense of insecurity. And if someone is cheating on you, well that person is not worth your feeling bad.

Answer 9

You are jealous because you have a fear of Never being or having what you want to be..so you just be jealous of others..Instead you should be happy for them and have faith that just like God blessed them, he will bless you also.

Answer 10

Everybody get jealous over something. It is human nature. When we see something we want but cannot get it for some reason and see someone else gloat around with it, then we get pissed that it is not us with it.
That is human nature.
