I'm morbidly jealous... I need help overcoming it!!!?

Question

Dear yahoo Answerers,

I need some help in this department. I have been bitten with the jealousy bug for a long time now and I need some help overcoming it. I can't stand being like this. It feels I should have a better position in life and done more for myself. My significant other seems to be more intrigue with others and what they do and seem to be more interested in them. This makes me feel downright worthless. Do you have any sort of advice for me?

Thanks a bunch!!!

Answer 1

Well, jealousy stems from low self esteem, of course...and he must know it..to flaunt them in your face, he knows that this worries you and hurts you...my advice? dump him, and find someone who thinks the world of YOU and only you...don't worry, they're out there..tell him bye bye..

Answer 2

Dear Butterfly,

Only you can better your "position" in life. Your jealousy comes from being unhappy with what you have. So do more for yourself. As far as your significant other.....he may be tired of your misery. Yes, you do act your feelings--especially if you have felt this way for a long time. You can hide it only for a little time, then it just pours out of you. So, either DO more or accept what you have.

Being overly jealous can be a problen and it may push your partner away.I feel that if someone really loves you they would never cheat on you and if they do then it wasn't the right one for you anyways!!!
God Bless.

dont focus on what you dont have, focus on what you do have. think of all the blessings u hav in your life. imean, everyone is good at something. i dont care what, find what your good at and connect ti to other hobbies. dont think of what you have should hav done. think of what you wanted out of 2day, and make it what you get out of 2morrow!!!!!everyone gets jealous sometimes.just think, why am i jealous? do you want 2 change yourself? your in control here,its your life
