How to Stop Being Jealous
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, ... it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs."

Unlike envy, it usually involves three people, rather than just two: you, the person who has what you want, and the person who threatens to take it away.[1] It's an unhealthy habit that can make any kind of relationship crumble; if you're a jealous person, you've probably already seen how much damage it can do. But at the core of jealousy are some fears and expectations that are hard to shake, unless you make a conscious effort to cast them away.
