JEALOUSY

Do you ever feel jealous of someone? Or did you ever feel jealous? If you are saying no, not only you're lying to the people around you but also to yourself. Lying to yourself is even worse than to someone else. 

It's completely normal to be envious towards another person. 'JEALOUSY' is a human emotion that all of us have experience with. The only difference is that a very few people express their emotions regarding jealousy. We all know that it's a cynical feeling, so we decide to hide it. Well, let me tell you. Your emotions won't go away until and unless you DEAL WITH THEM. You have to either express them, or find a solution that gives you peace of mind. 

The main question is, what causes this toxic emotion? For me, the answer would be not being satisfied with yourself or what you possess. It is extremely common to look at someone's posts on Social Media and think to yourself, " Why does she/he have what I don't? " or " How does she look so pretty in her photos? " Gradually, you start finding all your weaknesses and forgetting your strengths. You start wishing nothing but adversity for that person. 

We think it's fine to feel this way, but it's not. I understand that mature adults have a way to deal with this, but do children or teenagers have a way? I think most of us do not. Social Media has enhanced this insane issue immensely. I am sharing this because I also feel this way a lot and am certain that most of you reading this also do.  

If you deal with this once and for all,it is so healthy for your own well-being. That is the reason why I am extremely invested in trying to be contented with myself rather than resenting myself for not having what others have in their lives. Jealousy ,self-love , acceptance and so many more are just emotions related to each other. Personally, I have seen so many people tearing each other down just because they cannot accept the fact that after all, the other person might be better than you.

So before I share something that I've started doing to prevent this from happening to me, I have a feeling that someone or the other must be thinking that it's stupid reading something mature like this from a child. But it's my opinion that people around my age are scared of sharing what they feel and just knowing that other people feel a similar way is comforting. 

Continuing with my way to cope up with this, whenever I feel jealous, I stop myself right there. First I think of all my bad traits and then my good ones. I count all the negative things in my life and then all the positive ones. If you do the same, it can be surprising to realise how much you have.You will feel thankful.  After this, I easily accept what others have that I don't and what I have that others don't. Happily say goodbye to ENVY!

I REALLY DO HOPE THIS HELPED SOMEHOW..

I KNOW THIS WAS WRITTEN IN A SUPER SERIOUS AND DEEP TONE BUT IT'S SOMETHING NECCESSARY THAT ALL OF US FACE!
