Jealousy in adulthood often comes from childhood. For example, from childhood competition with brothers and sisters for the praise and attention of parents, in which the jealous person felt like a loser.

“All this is transferred to the family. A person feels like a loser even there. Attempts to avoid this and to prevent the thought that she was not chosen are the basis of jealousy, persecution, and surveillance,” the specialist noted.

The doctor explained that jealous people are most often selfish people with childhood trauma. And a feeling of peace and happiness can only give them complete possession of their partner. There is no interest in his feelings. In some cases, jealousy takes on paranoid forms.

“A person considers a partner to be property. She tries hysterically to maintain her boundaries, worrying and worrying that everything will collapse. She feels a tremendous sense of anxiety that she will be left, that the feeling of childhood abandonment will arise again, and she tries to avoid it in every way,” the psychologist continued.

According to her, this is often a “self-inflicted” process that is difficult to stop. In some cases, the help of a specialist is required.
