Human Emotions: Part One

Jealousy is a human emotion that all humans experience at some time in their lives. No matter how small or huge this feeling is, everyone can feel this emotion. Some overcome it and others fall to it.  Jealousy often includes a combination of anger, fear, sadness and personal disgust.

The actual experience of Jealousy can involve any of these feelings, fear of loss,  suspicion or anger about betrayal, low self-esteem, fear of losing an important friend or person to an actractive other, distrust, uncertainty and loneliness. I like a lot of people have experienced Jealousy when i feared losing a girl i loved to someone else and indeed it did happen which caused me to be angry and dissapointed over it, but i soon got over it, and rather i felt happy for her that she had found someone that she really liked. However some people can’t get over it, and it can lead to other negative emotions such as feelings of dispair, hatred. This irrational Jealousy is never healthy for a person in terms of behaviour or state of mind.

There are ways to overcome Jealousy, and it starts with actually understanding the emotions as Jealousy is as ive said is a combination of anger and fear etc, as in fear of someone moving on or losing someone, and learn to recognise what is making you feel this way and recognise whether its fear or anger thats causing you this.

Looking at Jealousy more analytically, Sociologists have found that personal beliefs and ideas, values, play an important role in determining what actually triggers Jealousy.
