You can't stop being jealous and insecure in a day or in weeks also!!! Its a long process where you need to trust someone from the very beginning!!!! Its like a tree you know, the roots have to be very strong or expect termites and other pests to destroy your tree!! Jealousy and Insecurity are these pests in a relationship!!! To some extent they cannot be felt but an excess of this will ruin it!! Talk to the person and clear your problems!! If something troubles you say it!! If you are insecure about something make it known so that something can be done about it!!! You just need to ask yourself how to deal with it !!! And If someone makes you feel insanely insecure then I guess you are with the wrong person!!! Because the right one would never do it!!!

Everybody is unique in their own way. Instead of looking at the things you lack, look for what you've got. If something is meant for you, it would definitely come to you. :)

I don't think I will ever stop being jealous and insecure. It's natural to feel that way, since we are conditioned to be fearful about our relationships and our status in the world. But, I think that we can work with our insecurity by being better friends to ourselves. I have been spending more time just sitting with myself and holding my heart, focussing on giving love to myself. Over time I notice that I am more positive with myself; I like to spend time with myself more, and I feel more secure in my ability to care for myself - to give myself the positive feedback I once sought from others. Jealousy and insecurity have lessened naturally as a result because I simply don't need people for what I can provide myself.

Comparing yourself to others is never going to make you happy, because there will ALWAYS be someone better than you. As you move up the ladder, you'll just keep meeting smarter and prettier and more perfect people. A good way to think about yourself is simply to compare who you are now to who you were 5 years ago. Are you nicer, wiser, smarter? Life is a mountain, not a race. We're not competing to the top, but merely climbing to get a good view before we one day all just fall off.

Jealousy is a rather fascinating emotion - we are taught that it is an emotion we have to act on. But, jealousy is a warning emotion. You don't have to act on it - in fact it's typically most helpful if we pause when we feel jealous. Ask yourself: what is making me jealous? What other emotions am I feeling (anger, hurt, fear, anxiety...)? What am I afraid might happen, and where does this fear come from? When you know these things, you can often address your jealousy on your own. Self-soothing, challenging cognitive distortions, distractions, and journaling can be very effective. It can also help to purposefully crate positive experiences - do a hobby you excel in, create fun activities/moment with your significant other(s) or friends. If all this still doesn't help, you might talk about your jealousy and ask for help. If your significant other is involved, you two might brainstorm together things you can do to change/lessen your jealousy, but it is best to try to avoid asking them to stop doing things or hanging out with people unless you've already tried other things. After all, jealousy is your emotion and if you try to treat it by changing other people you may find the jealousy simply latches onto other things and doesn't go away.

Jealousy is not a bad thing. It's normal it's natural. People sometimes get jealous because they feel that they are lower than the other individual as in having or enjoying things the person doesn't have. Sometimes they would ( I do ) get jealous when the person they like is having a good laugh or having a good time with someone of the opposite sex. That is when the same person would feel insecure. What never was yours can never be yours. Don't spend a lifetime on chasing something you can never have. It will come back to you eventually if you've earned it.

By knowing that comparing yourself to someone else is the most fruitless thing you could do to yourself. Instead, compare your present self to who you were before and realise you've come so far and grown so beautifully. There will be times where outside forces can make you doubt yourself but you've got to square your shoulders, keep your head up and remember that you are incredible. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Jealousy and Insecurity are born out of low self regard [or self-esteem]. Consider first what is causing you to feel jealous and insecure. "What is making me feel jealous and insecure? What event in my past have led to me feeling this way" and many other questions. Once you answer such questions, what changes would you need to undergo in order for you to stop being jealous and insecure? Finding the root cause of your jealousy and insecurity would lead you to know what actions you'll need to take so that you would avoid it. Next is having the firm resolve to change. Whenever we hear the word "change" it is not always taken kindly. Change takes courage because you know that there is something in you that is not doing you and others any good. We feel afraid to change because it is like you would be a completely different person than who you are. But please take note that in this situation, you wanted to stop being jealous and insecure and if that is what you have decided to do, you'll need to follow through with your decision and take the necessary steps no matter how hard it will be.
