• by cultivating a good relationship with your partner / friends.

But if it's too late for that and some damage has already been done, there are some things you can do to help jealousy. You have to control your emotions, which can sometimes be very hard. Tell yourself you have no reason to be jealous and just let it go.

• be open about your feeling
• Use I words when talking to your partner.

Say I feel instead of you make me feel. This helps your partner to not feel threatened and attacked, which will make him or her more likely to be sympathetic to your feelings.

• working on your self esteem

Spend time doing things that make you feel good, such as spending time with friends, working on hobbies, and volunteer work. Focusing on things outside of yourself will give you less time to worry about other things. Don't spend time torturing yourself with jealous fantasies. It serves no good purpose for you to spend time daydreaming about your partner with someone else. You might also consider talking to sympathetic friends or a therapist about your feelings

Jealousy is a fear that you are not as good as others or an envy of

what they have. Jealousy has been the cause of marriage break- ups, destroyed

friendships and strained relationships among siblings. The greater the perceived threat,

the greater the jealousy becomes.

The best advice for jealousy is to have good relationships. Trust is an essential

element for a good relationship and with jealousy there is very little trust.

Building trust takes a lot of time and effort, especially with someone who is habitually jealous of everyone.

However, it is not always a bad thing. Being jealous of someone can spur you into action

whether it is to study harder in school or to get a better job. In this way being

jealous can be good, although it is usually perceived as being a bad quality.
