How should someone deal with jealousy?

Question

I think people have many different perspectives and experiences with jealousy. 
What does jealousy tell you & how should someone react to feeling jealous? How do you react?

Answer

It depends why they are jealous. I feel like you can be jealous for so many reasons. I also don’t think all jealousy is as evil as it’s made out to be, it’s kind of human nature; how you react is what matters. You can be honest about why you felt a jealous impulse, and make sure you don’t overact to it. If it’s a deep rooted issue, I’d say you’d have to analyze yourself, and speak to a professional about why you feel jealous. It’s important for people to remember, comparison is the thief of joy!

Answer

You mean like within a relationship? I don't get jealous. I know my husband loves me and would never cheat on me. I'm secure enough in our marriage to not be jealous. 
*No offense to people that get jealous. I know there are other reasons for jealousy to show itself. I've been through many bad relationships and been cheated on and screwed over more times than I can count. Jealousy and hate and anger and sadness are just too exhausting. I'm just too tired for all that shit. It is what it is and if whoever I'm with wants to move on, more power to em.

Answer

When it comes to a relationship I don’t get jellious like the “why u looking at my man” or “who you txting” kinda thing I’m more of the “why can’t my butt look like that” or “why can’t my boobs look like hers” kind of person.

Answer

I think everyone handles jealousy differently and it comes in so many forms for so many different reasons.
My first boyfriend and I were together for like 3 years from high school into our first semester in college. He was extremely toxic and jealous and it unknowingly carried on with me because that’s what I was used to. So when I met my now husband a few months later, I assumed that was the norm and he basically had to help me learn that it wasn’t and how to be in a normal trusting relationship because I had very jealous tendencies without even knowing it. 
But I do think as adults if you have severe jealousy over small things that it should be dealt with even if it means some type of therapy. 
I have these two girls im super close with but they have this other friend who’s super insecure to the point where she can’t stand when her friends have “other friends” and when they either meet a new guy or have a life event she hasn’t experienced yet, she tends to show more animosity than happiness for them

Answer

Jealousy isn’t necessarily a bad thing it’s what you do in response to it that’s the problem. Even God Himself is jealous. The Bible says He is a jealous God. He doesn’t want us worshiping other gods because if you try to love two gods, you’ll love one and hate the other or vice versa. Same thing with relationships. We want our mates to ourselves; it’s normal.

It depends on the situation
