How should you deal with jealousy?
AQUARIUS 3
You’re the only Aquarius who can completely comprehend what it’s like to feel jealous. You are an air sign—the symbol of freedom and communication—which explains why. Although you have many friends, very few influence your life as much as your family. It might be challenging for someone to look beyond their own feelings of insecurity and jealousy and recognize that what they are feeling isn’t genuinely envy in the first place when they are jealous of something you have. They may even be contemplating: “Why do they feel envious? They are even lacking what I have!” However, they actually do have it. Simply put, how do they know is the question. And what are their thoughts about it?
You naturally ask inquiries because you are an Aquarius. You are aware that nothing is ever clear-cut, including how individuals feel and who has more power over your life than others. Therefore, when someone else is envious of what you own, do your best to avoid being emotionally involved and instead choose to pose questions. For Aquarians, jealousy can be a challenging emotion. Although you possess the capacity to control your emotions and the understanding of what is true and what is false, this does not prevent you from experiencing jealousy. That’s alright. You may take care of yourself by using your understanding of your own talents and shortcomings. Ask your pal how they feel, for instance, if they tell you they’re going out with someone else. Just let them know that you want to hear their opinion rather than expressing your own. If they appear to be alright with it, great! If not, be aware that this is simply how they are feeling at the time and has nothing having to do with you or their relationship with the other person.
When someone receives something better than you do, such as an internship or a promotion at work, you could also start to feel envious. They have earned something when you haven’t, so perhaps instead of feeling envious, you could think about asking them if there is anything else we can do to support your development as well. Be mindful of the things you tell yourself. Stern advises taking a step back and considering the stories you’re telling yourself about the circumstance. You spot your best friend there with another pal while you’re at the movies. Is it really appropriate for you to feel envious of the person your best buddy invited rather than yourself? Does this indicate that your friend doesn’t want to get out with you anymore? Another possibility is that your friend simply knew you didn’t want to see the movie. Your thoughts and feelings are frequently influenced by what you tell yourself. Internalize your thoughts. You experience jealousy when you believe your relationship is in jeopardy. Stay in your own connection rather than assuming someone else is posing that threat, advises Stern. Perhaps because you’ve been busier, your friend is spending more time with another friend, which is a hint that you need to make more time for that friend. Instead of spiraling into a downward spiral of blaming and hurt feelings, concentrating on your relationship with that individual helps you solve whatever might be wrong.
