Where does jealousy come from?

All people are different, some are jealous, others are not. Why is that? Some people think that jealousy is an integral part of love. However, the problem is much more serious and deeper.

In fact, feelings of envy and jealousy are very similar to each other. An envious person, as well as a jealous man, feels deprived. The only difference is that envy is often caused by a lack of a material plan, and jealousy is a lack of attention and feelings.

Psychologists say that successful, self-sufficient women are not inclined to be jealous of their partner. This feeling is more typical for people with unstable self-esteem, insecure, dependent on others. Possession of jealousy and the following personality features:

  • the complexes connected with appearance (the ugly person, excess weight);
  • psychotrauma suffered in childhood (parental divorce, lack of love and adoption in the family);
  • negative experience of cheating on the part of men;
  • heightened sense of ownership;
  • increased anxiety, fear of rejection;
  • psychological type of "victim".

But the problem is that pathological jealous people are not able to assess the situation objectively. A woman can make a scandal, if her husband did not look like that, he came home 5 minutes later, was too tired and did not want sex.
