So it would appear that self-esteem also plays a role in jealousy. If you don't fully accept and love yourself as you are, you could be more prone to comparing yourself to others as a way of artificially boosting your feeling of self-worth.
IMO this is still a mindset issue, albeit of a somewhat different nature. Self-worth is not a relative concept, since ultimately there's only one SELF, so there's no one else to beat or defeat. By trying to defeat others, you can only defeat yourself. |
