How to overcome jealousy and envy?

Well its great your honest with yourself some people wont even admit they have that problem.Anyway i think whenever you feel jealous that you should look at the wonderful and cool things you have and say that. "I have awesome things going on in my life I'm not jealous and dont need to be" keep saying to that yourself it will soak in. because if your happy with things in your own life you wont feel jealous about things in other peoples lives :P

these are negative feelings or emotions, so the best thing to do is to counteract with positive thoughts..if it is intense, usually i would spend time with my friends and do something recreational worth my time to keep the positivity going.. if still persists then probably i would just let it out, be heard...

I am having that same problem. Even I know it's bad and there are consequences in being jealous and envious, I still can't help but be like that. I hate being jealous but I can't control my emotions. I get easily jealous in other girls. I think I'm jealous in most girls, some are prettier, some are taller, some like that. LOL. I just really can't help myself but be envy and be jealous of them. I tried to search the net for ways of overcoming jealous but all they say is to improve my self-confidence. It's easy to be said than done!

Overcoming envy and jealousy is a crying need for good quality natured people, because they feel ashamed of those emotions. Jealousy evidently differs from envy. Jealousy originates from dread or anger over the prospect of failure in achieving a desired goal. Career growth, a partner's love, or a mother's undivided attentions are typically the threatened goals. Envy originates from regret, leading to anger, over one's helplessness to get a glamorous asset owned by a perceived equal. A neighbour’s brand new car triggers envy. Jealousy originates from the prospect of failure and envy from actual failure. These distressing human emotions are sad left over from an animal past. If you are a victim of jealousy or envy, your options to get away their ill effects are limited. You must love yourself. If you don’t completely accept and love yourself as you are, you could be more prone to comparing yourself to others as a way of falsely boosting your feeling of self-worth.

I always thought a little jealousy is mandatory in every love, that means that really love them and can not be indifferent to the relationships that we cultivate it along with you. We understand, then, that if true love you suspect that your partner can cheat and has no place as there would relate to other people, there is no question of cheating between two people that love is never held third. The rest of the relationships are due conjunctures occurred in our lives. It is inevitable that interact more or less intact but love to keep a creature that is in our soul and which belongs to the whole. In love, give everything and expect everything. I give 100% loyalty but I just do not watch this because I know it is. I'm good because I trust and know that jealousy not find the motivation.

I will respond to your questions ... there is very little I can do when feeling jealous , it usually results in high violent actions , there are factors that will decrease my jealousy like: once replaced with fear it is more dealt with. I remember myself thinking that things I get jealous about are pretty physical and not intangible - they either come from a source or is the source. Avoidance is contrary to belief . To change the rule , change the subject to you - try to realize that at least I think that the physical qualities you have are already so important and the others are just a bonus

It has been established that jealousy is a disease and in homoeopathy there is treatment for this. Please do consult a homoeopath and he will put you on a therapy.

I guess we are the same. I get jealous easily. What I usually do is to just keep quiet and talk to myself that even though I'm jealous at the person, because I know that I have something which he does not have. I usually think like that. I also try to avoid all kinds of circumstances like that. I just do not like how I would feel after the long run. Sometimes though, if I think about it too hard I would go crazy. The best thing to do is to not compare yourself to others and accept who you are, even though it's hard.

You know, that's a tough one. All I can think of is try to figure out why you are feeling that jealousy and work on it. Avoiding it unfortunately won't make it any better.

It isn't a good trait but at one point in time or another it's something we all get. Unfortunately I think avoiding the issue doesn't help because it still comes back to bit you in the butt. You have to face the issue head on to figure out why you are feeling that way and how you can fix it.

There are some reasons why we're jealous. One reason is that we're lacking some self-confidence and we're not aware of it that's why we're thinking that we're just jealous. So the best way not to feel jealous or insecure is to boost our self-confidence.
