How do you overcome jealousy?

Question

jealousy about anything..

Answer 1

Try to be less materialistic , less dependent on material things to define yourself and bring you happiness, because it's a vicious cycle of want/get/want again. Things can never make you truly happy. When you look inside yourself and find contentment with yourself as a person, you will be happy for other people to find pleasure in their possessions, you'll be made happy by their happiness. That is a cycle that grows exponentially better and better.
Love yourself, learn to do this and you will not experience jealousy.

Answer 2

Jealousy is a difficult emotional. It is also normal to feel jealous sometimes. Often when people feel uncomfortably jealous too much of the time their self esteem and self confidence are low. Build your self esteem and self confidence by doing things that will make you have greater self esteem and self confidence (a job, relationships with people, working hard in school or at a job, whatever that will make you feel good about yourself). Figure out a path in life and goals you want to attain, what kind of a person you want to be, and then go for it. Fill up your life with activities that are meaningful to you. As you feel better about yourself, you will feel less jealous of others. Good luck.

Answer 3

Maybe you could try to turn the jealousy into "envy;" and use that envy to motivate you to seek some goals by which you really want to improve or become more satisfied in life. We're all tempted to be jealous; don't let jealousy get its way; write what the envy can teach you about what you want to seek and change in your own life?

Answer 4

Build yourself esteem, jealousy is a sign that you do not feel as though you deserve to be treated well. Work on yourself esteem and jealousy will be a waste of your time.

Answer 5

Try To Train Yourself To Not Let Things Like That Rent Space In Your Head.

Answer 6

Well...it probably depends on what your jealous about. If say, a guy/girl you like is paying more attention to someone else rather then you don't get all moody about it. And please don't try to guilt trip them back to you. Think about the last thing you said to them, and try to remember if you might have said anything incentive to them. If you can think of something, try apologizing and when they forgive you, ask them if you can do something together.
If your jealous over what someone else has, try asking yourself what you want so badly about that certain thing. If its clothes, try asking, does it make everyone look better or more popular or is it just them that make the clothes look good or make people like them? If your jealous of a relationship, look at yours and attempt SUDBLE changes, don't go all out on your partner, this might creep them out. Especially if its a guy.
All I can really tell you is to ask yourself what makes the certain thing so great? Do YOU really want it or do you want it for the peer presser? You don't have to make other people happy, just yourself, and if that means having name-brand clothes or the bottom of the bargain bin (yet comfortable) then go with it. Do what you like doing, but if you have a boss, its a good idea to keep him/her happy.
Hope I helped!

Answer 7

Look inside yourself, ask why you are jealous. Write down everything you come up with and keep that, look at it daily.

Usually, jealousy is from feeling inadequate about oneself.

Answer 8

it's really hard not to be jelous of someone or something, but something I do, (it might not work for everyone) but i just try to stop caring, say i'm jelous of a girl because she is dating my ex boyfriend then i will try to stop caring about the situation or I would just think of all the stuff i have and i could be thankful for( like a boyfriend, or bestfriend, family?)
it might not work for everyone but it usually works for me.
