03.04.2024 17:10

Even the strongest, at first glance, bonds of love can be destroyed with the help of one simple character trait - jealousy.

It is inherent in both the strong and weak halves of humanity, and can become a prerequisite not only for loneliness, but also for severe emotional suffering for each of the partners.

Experts recommend paying close attention to your mental and psychological state when starting any romantic relationship.

Usually, at this stage, the most unsightly and harmful trait characteristic of owners is already formed and actively manifests itself.

By identifying this point, you can forever break the shackles of dependence on people, their opinions, behavior and the feeling of uselessness, which is inherent in jealous people.

And this can be done realistically, with the help of three effective methods, proven by years of practice by experienced specialists in the field of general and family psychology.

To be jealous is to not respect yourself: what is behind this feeling

Before we begin the methodology of eliminating the destructive component of any romantic union, it is worth understanding its nature.

In fact, no matter how trivial and simple it may be, the essence of jealousy lies in the inability to accept oneself, the people around one, and to love one’s own world as it really is.

It sounds life-affirming and simple, but it doesn’t make the fight against personal jealousy any easier.

However, there are several effective cognitive actions that can destroy a negative character trait once and for all:

1. Ban on control over someone else's private life and space. When there is control in a relationship (social media accounts, phone books, location, etc.), it not only morally exhausts the "controller", but also leads to mistrust of the other half;

2. Stop asking for love and respect for yourself. A person must understand that these two feelings are unconditional, and no one should deserve them. If a partner does not love, then the opposite effect cannot be achieved by force;

3. Finding a point of support in the inner "I". Knowing yourself, your needs, preferences, life guidelines and desires, you should understand that the only person who will always be completely faithful is the one who is inside. That is, ourselves.

This method helps to become a self-confident person and synthesize the two previous actions to eliminate jealousy.

It is important to remember that a romantic union is a relationship between two people. This means that before you begin introspection and personal growth, you need to talk to your other half and be honest about your feelings.

Such frankness will not only be a good opportunity to open up to each other, but also to begin to love yourself and accept the world, without control, buying respect and jealousy.

Earlier we talked about how to understand that a man is indifferent to a woman .
