Jealousy is the green-eyed monster as they say. They never lead to anything good and instead tear relationships apart, burn bridges, and even often result in something worse. However, feeling jealous is natural, all of us have been in the situation where we envy someone’s success, happiness, and even life.
Jealousy is powerful, it’s an emotion, and letting ourselves feel these emotions, even if they are negative is important. While we can’t control the emotions that we feel, we can always choose to see the positive side of it.
An ex-partner started dating? Well, at least he finally found the right person for them. A friend for a promotion? Celebrate them for all the hard work they put on. Someone on social media bought their first house? This doesn’t affect you personally, scroll past it and move on.
On the other hand, knowing someone is jealous of you can be bothering especially if it’s a friend. But remember, if they are truly cared for you and rooting for you, they will support you and celebrate you no matter what.
