JELOUSY

Book Summary by: Draga74    

Original Author: J.Bryson: Ekman,Ph.D.
Jelousy happens when someone threatens to replace you in a relationship. It is a feeling that someone is standing between
you and the one you love. How did we ever come to feel something like that? It`s likely that jelaousy first sprang up to protect reproductive relationships. Without fidelity, which jelousy helps preserve, a male couldn`t be certain he was raising his own offspring. And the female couldn`t be sure her offspring would survive without a male to protect him. It`s a prefectly natural response to the perception that a valued relationship may jeoparadized.Jelousy is a primal urge.Even the specter of a long-ago intruder can be difficult for people to bear. Things can be done, however, in order to render our behaviour acceptional for others. Take another look at the situation. When you`re feeling jeolous, think about whether your reaction is about someone else`s behaviour or yours. Furthermore, is there basis for it? Maybe someone is just trying to make you jelous to get you to pay more attention to him or to gain control over you? If that is the case, are you sure it is the kind of a relatonship you want to continue? Another thing, do you end up feeling jolous in every relatonship? That problem may stem from a fundamental lack of self-worth. You need to stop comparing yourself to someone else. Start telling yourself "I accept how I am".
