Jealousy and insecurity are very common human traits. There may never be time that you would be able to stop them completely. However, when you realise that you are a different person to other people and this is not a bad thing, you can dull these feelings.

You're only jealous and insecure when you chose to be. You're you and that's all you can really be. Let people know that, know that you are strong independent person. You don't need the approval of anyone else. You just need to accept yourself for who you are, and be the best you!

Love more full and with more awareness. Insecurities and jealousy are rooted in fear, and nothing has greater power over fear than love.

you can try to see how they are and if it is worth being jealous because sometimes things aren't always as they seem.

Jealousy and insecurities are feelings that all of us have experienced and will experience. It's also usually difficult to talk about as well, as sometimes it can be embarrassing. However, it's always good to keep in mind that everyone has skills and talents in different areas - and building those talents can take time and effort. Always remember that you have your own things that you are good at and proud of - maybe you really like your singing voice in the shower, or your long hair, or how you're able to say the alphabet backwards. Any little thing like that is something you should love yourself for; you are unique, as cliche as it is, and there is no point in making a comparison with someone else.

Focus on what you already have instead of what you want. For example: I have a doll and that is good enough. Instead of: I want a top-tier expensive doll. Be grateful for what you already have instead of being jealous about something you don't have. If you are insecure, you are unable to accept something about yourself. Look at your strengths; what are you good at? What do you like? Instead of; I wish I was slimmer/I wish I was taller. Have pride in yourself:) YOU ARE AWESOME THE WAY YOU ARE :)

Communicate with your partner. Try finding out why you get like this and find a solution. The more you talk about it, the more chance you'll get to find the root of the problem.

I do have this quite funny and weird experience about this jealousy and insecurity lately. I have a friend whom i've for more than 8 years. She's a gamer, moderate 12th grade student, has sleep disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. Well, due to her OCD, she's quite touché sometimes, which made I often felt insecure about our friendship. I always try to tolerate with her attitude and of course to avoid arguments. I did mentally bad mouthed about her thou. I thought if i avoid the arguments, the bad thoughts about her will go away. However it didn't, the annoyed feeling started to grow stronger and stronger until it turned into hatred against her when i realized it. I never showed my feeling to her because i'm afraid that i would hurt her if i do. I secretly hate her and jealous about her carefree attitude about everything, like she didn't give a thought about what she said to other people and it's really irritated me. I tried to calm myself and searched for my resources about my case online and found some really good guides from those people online just like 7 cups. Day by day, my negative feeling to her wasn't that strong and we're back to good terms against. To me, ways to fight jealousy and insecurity is to be humble and patience. A ego and hot tempered person can only fail to solve and eventually make it more worst. Guidance from others is also important for you to clear your mind and make the right things in your life.

Realize that some people are better at somethings than you. And you are better than them at other things. Accept that people are different with different skills and weakness, different qualities and personalities. It may take time, but there's no point in being negative. It just hurts you.

Well? I guess you can ask what you are jealous of, accept it and move on to appreciate things about yourself. There are very many instances when the person you are jealous of is feeling exactly like you about something that you have no matter how tiny it might be to you. Fact is, you need to appreciate yourself and be happy about yourself. Start seeing the best in yourself.
