how do you deal with jealousy?

@Carissimi when something makes me jealous it completely takes me out of the moment. i lose all motivation and just sit in my self pity

So it makes you feel “less than?” It threatens your sense of security? And you retreat. It sounds like you don’t feel like you are good enough for whatever it is making you feel jealous. It’s very complex, and brings into account your childhood, your personality, and all your life experiences that have brought you to this point, and made you the person you are now. Basically, and in my opinion, jealousy is about “loss.” Something you want, and don’t have. Some are plain greedy, and want things that others have, but many just feel bad because the loss of not having whatever it is runs deep with pain. You may need to use your retreat to do some introspection, and find out the root cause of why you feel this way. @looping
