How to avoid jealousy.

[KarelPls]

I'm very jealous person...

That's why maybe the only relationship I've had in real didn't work out. It's just that I can't stop being like that. When my ex told me about the girl he dated previous to me I couldn't help but feel jealousy.

Is there a way to not feel like that? Is there a way to at least act nonchalantly when you see the person you like/date talking to his/her ex?

Build up your self esteem and self confidence.

Build up your self esteem and self confidence.

True that...

Try to determine the root cause. It may be deeper than you think and could require counseling. (Which everyone could use!) From there it's working on those insecurities, and can be defeated over time.

 

Good luck!

Build up your own accomplishments to handle any insecurities or self-esteem issues. Have a life outside of whoever you date, so you don't have a fear that if you lose the guy you're losing everything. And time, time seemed to help me as well, but the accomplishments served a huge boost in helping. It's hard to be jealous of someone else when you're proud of something you've done.
