"People get jealous when they are uncomfortable with who they are."

Jealousy can be destructive to a relationship. We're not talking about being jealous of your best friend's new relationship, or jealous that someone else got picked to start in the game instead of you. "Everyone has feelings of jealousy sometimes," . "Sometimes I'm jealous of people who get better grades, or who drive nicer cars." But jealousy in an intimate relationship is a whole different story

Why Be Jealous?

Why do people get jealous in the first place? Jealousy is often rooted in insecurity. "People get jealous when they are uncomfortable with who they are. "When you are not secure with yourself, anything seems threatening, like outside friendships or even crushes on celebrities." So, if you're worried that your girlfriend/boyfriend is about to run off with Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie , you may want to work on that self-esteem!

Jealousy Isn't Cute!

Some people think that jealousy is a sign of affection and love. But you should think again if your partner doesn't trust you to do things by yourself or to spend time with your friends. When someone starts tracking your every move and is in your face all the time about where you've been and whom you've been with, then it's time to rethink whether this is a healthy relationship."Possessiveness and controlling behavior are serious red flags that you are probably in a relationship that could turn dangerous,". Some warning signs could include

Your partner or friend wants to know where you are and whom you are with all of the time.
Your partner or friend makes you feel guilty for spending time with family or friends.
Your partner or friend thinks that innocent conversation equals flirting and gets angry about it.

On the flipside, if your sweetie doesn't get jealous when you talk to other people, or when you hang posters of hot celebs on your wall, it doesn't have to mean that she or he doesn't think or care about you! It may simply mean that your relationship is built on trust and respect.Talk It Out What if you think that you have reason to be jealous? Like, maybe you saw your honey cozying up to some cutie, and you felt a little knot in your stomach? That's normal.

"Tell your boyfriend or girlfriend or friends that you feel uncomfortable with the situation."Chances are, if there is good communication in your relationship, you can work it out and keep that green-eyed monster far away!
