5 ways to get rid of jealousy
- Pay more attention to yourself. Return to things you've long put off: learning, sport, new hobbies.
- Show trust in your partner. You can talk about your feelings and work on trust together.
- Don't idealise your partner. Think about what exactly worries you and discuss it.
- Learn to listen. Don't focus only on your own hurts — hear the other's position.
- Don't be afraid of being left. Remember that you're a self-sufficient person.
If you've recognised a tendency to jealousy and want to overcome it, you're already on the way to a better version of yourself.
