In this article we will consider:
- Reasons and types of jealousy

Causes and types of jealousy
Because jealousy is an entirely psychological problem, it requires a very deep internal analysis to get rid of it.
Reasons for Jealousy
Why are people jealous? The specific causes of jealousy in each person are individual, but globally they can be divided into two types: justified and unreasonable.
Unreasonable jealousy of
Unreasonable jealousy is when a person is jealous for no reason, still it can be called an imaginary jealousy, when the reasons are contrived, the situation is misunderstood, or the person is simply jealous for no reason. This kind of jealousy originates from the following reasons:
- As a child, you always had to divide something or you were not in the first place
Very often the causes of jealousy originate from childhood, when a person originally had to share something with a brother or sister,well, or with a similar situation. For example, it was necessary to share the love of parents, attention, things, gifts, etc. All this can involuntarily postpone the imprint on the subconscious and over time, as we grow up, we can not easily perceive that we are not in the first place, and maybe someone else.
- Fear of loneliness
The reason for jealousy may be the fear of being left alone or alone. What is it? This is because you are jealous of your other half because of the fear that he or she will find a substitute and throw you and you will be left alone. Often at the same time, many themselves "wind up" that after they remain alone, they will not be able to find new love, etc. In this case, the main, and perhaps the only, cause of jealousy is low self-esteem.
- I do not want to share it with anyone
If you are jealous of your other half if she spends a lot of time or often communicates with someone else, whether friends, members of the opposite sex and even parents or children, thenThe reason for this is your selfishness.
- Are jealous for the prevention of
It also happens that you are not really jealous, but you arrange jealousy scenes for the second half so that she / he will not live well, so that he / she even was afraid to admit the idea of crossing the line of jealousy. The reason for this is ordinary rudeness, as well as a chronic mistrust of the second half.
Justified Jealousy
The second kind of jealousy is justified jealousy, when jealousy is justified. Logically, justified jealousy is one and it has no subspecies, since you are jealous because of the real fact and situation. For example, you caught your second half flirting with the opposite sex, how can you not be jealous!? Therefore, justified jealousy is quite normal phenomenon, but always talk with your second half and say that he / she crosses some boundaries and this behavior is unpleasant for you.
If with justified jealousy it's easy, then we'll devote our article to the question of how to get rid of jealousy if it's unreasonable.
Kinds of jealousy
- The feeling of jealousy is calm or simply suppressed;
- Jealousy is strongly experienced inside, but the person does not pretend that he is jealous;
- Jealous, a person "boils" inside, and spits out his feelings of jealousy;
- And the most difficult form, when a person experiences a "maniacal" feeling of jealousy and on this basis rolls scandals and does not control himself.
Surely, many people thought that the first two kinds, when jealousy is calm, it's very good - but it's not entirely true. When we experience the so-called hidden jealousy and suppress everything in ourselves, then on the one hand it's good, because we control ourselves, but there are also negative consequences: we keep everything in ourselves and accumulate a problem that at some point can come outand have very serious consequences.
Why we are jealous of
Now, let's consider the question: why are we jealous and what specific reasons are provocateurs of jealousy.
Why men are jealous of
Perhaps the most common reason for jealousy of men is their sense of ownership, since you must belong only to him. Here the key role is played by the banal "mine": I will not give it to anyone, and that she will devote herself only to me. With self-esteem, self-esteem is closely connected with the feeling of ownership, because if someone is more interested in the second half than he is, or if treason occurs, then for some, it is a blow to self-love, and not so much to the very fact of betrayal.
Men, many situations judge by themselves, and maybe, if he sees in everything the reason for jealousy, then maybe a "sin" is concealed, it may not be treason, it may be secret desires, flirting with other women, frequent communicationetc.
Well, again, low self-esteem and self-doubt provoke a feeling of jealousy in men.
Why women are jealous of
Women are jealous of men almost on the same signs as men, but in this case, a very important role is played by the stereotype that almost all men change and this factor plays the role of a catalyst in the causes of female jealousy.
Also, to the causes of female jealousy, you can include the fear of loneliness and the lack of autonomy of a woman. If the husband or boyfriend changes or leaves for another, then in that case she will remain alone, and an independent life, both morally and financially, causes her fear and fear.

If their communication really goes beyond the friendly, then jealousy is justified, and even if you are confident in yourself, then the very fact of this is very unpleasant. In other cases, if they conduct a simple brief communication, then, probably, the reason is in you. Why are you jealous? You want him / she to be the time when he communicates with the opposite sex, gave you or spoke to you on this topic, or you do not like this communication with the opposite sex. This situation can be learned in two ways, or the second half pays little attention to you, and therefore you are jealous of it, or to all the guilt of selfishness and a sense of ownership. Therefore, in order to understand the causes of jealousy and to know how to get rid of it, such a complex analysis is needed.

If the cause of jealousy is the fear of loneliness and be abandoned or abandoned, then as already mentioned, the reason for this is low self-esteem and self-doubt.

Some feel jealousy because they wind up negative thoughts themselves or someone constantly slanders the second half - pull yourself together and do not grind stupid things, reason cold-bloodedly and lean on the facts.
If you are jealous of your other half because you have "sinful" thoughts or actions for yourself, then it's only you. Do not judge people by yourself, correct yourself and value your relationships.
If the cause of your jealousy is your selfishness and sense of ownership, then the scenes of jealousy and by limiting the freedom of the second half you will not keep your relationship. Remember one important rule: relationships should bring joy and not be a burden, and by such actions you only destroy them, making them unhappy both.
