Women are often accused of being jealous of each other. They vie for the attention of men and when deprived of it, often undermine each other. Conscious of their looks, they like to be admired. In fact, they are vain. They fish for comments. The more they get them, the more they feel better. When jealous, they run down the other person. They find it difficult to admire another woman in front of a man. Why are women jealous?
Reasons for Jealousy Among Women
- Strained relationships with the opposite sex make a woman bitter. She cannot bear her man looking or admiring another man. Due to her bad experience, she runs down another woman, as she feels threatened that her lover might fancy her
- A woman is very conscious of her physical appearance. She hesitates to compliment a woman who is better looking than her
- Adultery also affects her outlook in general. A husband who has not been faithful can make a wife suspicious of other women. She might deliberately criticize other women, in order to ensure that her husband does not take interest in her. She also feels jealous, if a woman is better looking than her in such a situation
- A woman who is insecure often feels jealous. She suffers from lack of confidence and her self-esteem is very low. She cannot bear the sight of a confident and better- looking woman. She gets pleasure in finding faults in the other woman
- An abused woman also is very jealous of a woman who is having a better marital relationship. She cannot accept another woman having a better deal in life
- Ordinary looks can often cause a feeling of inferiority in a woman. She might not appreciate beauty in another woman
How to Resolve Jealousy?
- It is good to talk out these feelings with another person. Sometimes, professional counseling may help to overcome feelings of inadequacies, which lead to jealousy
- One must accept one’s faults and limitations. One should not underestimate one self or over-estimate. A balanced approach towards one’s looks will control feelings of jealousy
- A couple should sort out their misunderstandings and try to work on their relationship
- One should pay attention to the spouse at a party, rather than flirt with someone else
- Quality time should be spent with spouse. The spouse should feel secure
- Join your spouse at a party when he or she is around with others. The spouse can stay focused on the partner
- Do not rely on suspicion. Try to gather facts about a particular situation. One need not feel jealous in case someone contacts your spouse
Women are considered to be quite vulnerable to jealousy. They are very particular about their looks and cannot at times accept another woman who is more vivacious and gorgeous looking. In fact, a flamboyant woman is often isolated because she attracts more male attention. She is criticized for her behavior and dress sense. Women are jealous of her “free” attitude. Women can overcome their jealousy by proper self-appraisal about their ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ points.
