Many people glorify jealousy, saying it is a sign of love. It is not! It is a sign of insecurity and reflects seeing your partner as an object that needs to be owned. It is a negative emotion that stems from both desire and insecurity, but not love. Conversely, if you love the fact that someone is possessive of you, it stems from your crippling need to be loved and cared for, even at the cost of your freedom.

Jealousy and possessiveness are not safe cocoons. It is a prison where the prisoner has to behave according to the rules and insecurities of the jailer or be punished for it. There is no room or respect for trust, individuality or personal growth. Your love for your partner and your desire to see them happy are used as a means to whip you into submission and force you to bow to their demons. None of this is healthy, desirable, or productive. None of this will create harmony and long-term happiness. To really love is to trust. In order for those you love to thrive, be the best they can be. Being protective and not possessive because protective means taking care of them and possessive means taking care of self.

People should be together because they support each other, bring out the best in each other, and bring out the best in themselves. Don’t punish people for loving you, allow their love to help you conquer your demons.

I am a 66 year old woman and have lived alone for two years. I have children but they rarely come to see me and instead of staying in their own house they prefer to live separately. I feel extremely lonely and wish there was someone in the same house. What should I do?

You have many options. When your kids can’t be around, be a support system for them and flood your home with your grandkids. Be the funny grandmother they all love to be with. Alternatively, you can join charities or clubs that give you a full day, purpose, and opportunity to meet many people your own age. Once the right person walks into your life, it’s up to you to decide at that point how much you want to devote yourself to them.

I am a 24 year old male and have lived alone for about three years. But now I would like to live with my parents and am considering a change. However, my hometown is in Bihar and it is not a very established place. What should I do?

Do you want to live with your parents because you love them and want to stay with them for the rest of your life? If so, step back and take responsibility for making it a productive decision for your business. However, if you’re having a hard time living alone, then work hard to climb the corporate ladder in an established city and earn well enough to marry someone who will be just as happy to take care of your needs as you take care of theirs .

I’ve been in a relationship for about a year now. My parents want me to marry my boyfriend, but I think it’s too early to think about it and I’d like to get to know him better. My parents refuse to understand and just feel like now is the right time for me to get married. Please help.

The human is important. Not the time. Assert that if worries are still there after a year they should respect you for being practical and wanting a solid and good marriage rather than rushing into something that can cause everyone pain and upheaval later in life . A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush, according to them, but look before you leap is a far better saying in this scenario.

I am a 20 year old girl living with my uncle and aunt. My parents live in our hometown in Rajasthan and I am here for my studies. I understand that my aunt and uncle worry about me, but sometimes I feel like they just overdo their concern and often threaten me with dire consequences if I don’t listen to them. What should I do?

You have to be aware that if something goes wrong, your parents will hold you accountable. So appreciate their concern for you and their own standing in the family, and just grin and bear their well-placed concern. Maximize education because once you get a good job and have enough money to move out, it’s your life, your way, all the way.

In an interview, Dr. John Gottman once asked what to do about “insatiable jealousy” in relationships.

His answer hit something really profound for me.

I believe that every human being has areas of persistent vulnerability. For a marriage to be successful, these vulnerabilities must be understood and respected.

This turns jealousy on its head. Rather than something to avoid in relationships, jealousy becomes an opportunity to connect. In her book Daring Greatly, Brene Brown writes: “Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability and authenticity.”

When you understand why you get jealous, you can deal with it compassionately and constructively. Recognizing and embracing your partner’s persistent weaknesses, as well as your own, will strengthen your relationship.

Understand your triggers

Jealousy in a relationship can relate more to your own vulnerabilities than your partner’s actions. For example, you may be prone to jealousy if you have had painful experiences in your past. It’s important to talk about these experiences with your partner so you can be aware of and respect each other’s triggers.

Jealousy can be driven by low self-esteem or poor self-image. If you don’t feel attractive and confident, it can be hard to truly believe that your partner loves and appreciates you. In other cases, jealousy can be caused by unrealistic expectations of the relationship. It’s not healthy for partners to spend 100% of their time together. In the words of Kahlil Gibran, “You need spaces in your togetherness to maintain your bond.”

Remember that feelings are not facts. Are you imagining things that aren’t there? I encourage my clients to ask themselves, “Is that so?” Is it really happening? If the answer is no, let go of the negative thoughts. Acknowledge them before you consciously reject them.

Feelings of jealousy can become problematic when they affect how you behave and how you feel about the relationship as a whole. Here are some signs of unhealthy jealous behavior.

Checking your spouse’s phone or email without permission

insult your spouse

Suppose your spouse is not attracted to you

Grill your spouse at their abode throughout the day

Accuse your spouse of lying without evidence

If you see any of these behaviors in your relationship, try to understand the weaknesses behind them. If you need a little extra help with this, I recommend working under the guidance of a Gottman-trained therapist. You can find one near you on the Gottman Referral Network.

Use jealousy for good

Jealousy in a relationship can also be a very real and reasonable reaction to your partner’s actions. Remember that in a good enough relationship, people have high expectations of how they will be treated. They expect to be treated with kindness, love, affection and respect. They expect their partner to be loyal and honest.

If the answer to “Is that so?” is yes, then it’s important that you tell your partner how you feel before your jealousy turns into resentment. When addressing it, stick to “I” statements and avoid saying things like “you always” or “you never.” Talk about your feelings in the specific situation and avoid general statements about the character of your partner. Say what you need, not what you don’t need.

For example: “I feel anxious when I don’t know where you are or who you are with. I need you to text me and let me know.”

The more you talk, the healthier your relationship becomes. Is there a specific relationship that makes you uncomfortable? Do you find yourself getting blocked or your partner’s behavior has recently changed?

You and your partner should be open and direct with each other about friendships and working relationships. Transparency helps you feel more secure. If you’re unsure about boundaries, a good rule of thumb is to ask yourself, “How would I feel if I heard my partner have this type of conversation with someone else?” If that hurt, then it would a limit is exceeded.

Show each other how much you value each other by putting your relationship above your work, your co-workers, and your friends. Each time you do this, you build trust.

By understanding what drives your feelings and honoring each other’s loveable vulnerabilities, you can use jealousy forever.

Before you can make a girl jealous, you need to start showing interest in her by catching her eye from across the room or by subtly complimenting her. For example, you could say something about her outfit, like, “Blue really brings out your eyes.” Once you’ve shown a lot of interest in her, start talking about other girls you like. You could even try to flirt with other girls in front of her, or become good friends with her friends so that they always cheer you up around her. However, if you want the girl to like you eventually, don’t spend too much time courting other women or she may think you’re a gamer and lose interest in you. Read on for more tips, e.g. B. How to make a girl jealous with your phone.

You probably don’t think you have a personality that intimidates people. But there are certain circumstances in life when you might notice someone around you acting a little strangely, almost as if they feel threatened.

How a woman responds to intimidation depends not only on the context, but also on the woman herself.

When another woman is intimidated by you, she can either put you on a pedestal and show signs of nervousness, or become more aggressive towards you and believe that offense is the best form of defence.

If you have a sneaking suspicion that someone you know is feeling intimidated by you, here are the clear signs to look out for.

How do you tell if a woman is intimidated by you?

1) She avoids looking at you

When someone is feeling intimidated, we often find the first clue in their body language.

A lack of eye contact says a lot. In fact, you can often tell when someone is intimidated by their eyes alone.

She may find it very difficult to make direct eye contact with you. Instead, their eyes may naturally find the ground or nervously stray from objects in the room. Either way, she will most likely avoid looking at you face to face.

It’s a very primal instinct, because in the animal kingdom direct eye contact can be an aggressive or threatening act that symbolizes social dominance.

For example, dogs perceive direct eye contact as a sign of challenge, and similar behavior has also been observed in bears and primates. In this way, diverting your gaze becomes an act of submission to someone.

Looking away also contributes to a feeling of psychological distance. When you make a woman intimate, she can avoid eye contact to feel shielded from the intensity of the situation.

2) She is calm around you

Does this woman always seem speechless when you’re around? Another strong sign of intimidation is being quieter than normal.

This may mean speaking less overall. One girl admitted in a Reddit discussion that her intimidation usually translates into speechlessness:

“Unfortunately, I’m intimidated by women who are prettier than me. And no, I’m not being caustic or gossipy about her or anything. My anxiety usually manifests itself in not being able to talk to them or feel comfortable around them.”

It can also mean someone close to you audibly softening their voice instead of speaking loudly. Voices change when you’re talking to someone who intimidates you.

That’s why even the pitch of the voice can provide clues as to how someone is feeling—with higher pitches associated with nervousness, fear, and intimidation.

One study found that men and women tend to speak in higher-pitched voices to interviewers they believe have high social status. Apparently using a higher pitched voice could signal that you are not a threat.

3) She doesn’t ask you questions

Asking people questions when we have a conversation is one of those social skills we’ve all learned.

It shows the other person that we are interested in them and are trying to find out more about them. It’s essentially a way of keeping a discussion going. If nobody asks questions, the chat dies down pretty quickly.

Of course, selfish people might not ask questions either, but it can also be a sign of intimidation.

If someone feels insecure or nervous when talking to you, chances are they are actively trying not to prolong the conversation any longer than necessary.

In short, if you scare them, they want out of there as soon as possible, and not asking questions is one way to encourage that.

4) She fidgets nervously

You’ll find that many of the signs of intimidation on this list are physical cues in addition to emotional cues.

Our body language is often far more revealing about our subconscious feelings about a situation than anything we say.

Anxious fidgeting is a habit many people unknowingly engage in to get rid of a buildup of nervous energy.

According to BBC Science Focus Magazine, “Fidgeting occurs because the body has elevated levels of stress hormones, which prime your muscles for sudden exertion. If you don’t have tigers to run from at that moment, all that energy has nowhere to go, and wiggling your leg or biting your nails is a way to partially alleviate this.

If she’s fidgeting, a little flighty, or nervous, it’s a signal that her body is having trouble relaxing around you. This is probably directly because she doesn’t feel comfortable around you.

5) She keeps her physical distance

As a general rule, the closer we let someone into our personal space, the more comfortable we feel around them.

Personal space is the area surrounding a person that they psychologically consider their own. Most people value personal space and are uncomfortable with it being “occupied”.

Unless we feel intimately connected to someone, we don’t like it when that line is crossed. The brain uses personal space to protect us.

According to National Geographic:

“We have firmly anchored this “second skin” in our DNA. The brain calculates a buffer zone around the body that is very flexible. It changes size depending on the context and is largely calculated unconsciously. Its not our fault. It is part of the framework of our social interactions upon which all our social interactions are built. “It has a huge impact on how we react to each other, understand each other and feel about each other.”

The more she withdraws and avoids coming into your space, the less comfortable she is likely to be in your company.

Maybe she avoids getting close enough to touch you, or you notice that she always backs away from you when you’re talking.

6) She is holding back or being passive around you

You just get the impression that she isn’t her authentic self around you.

This can mean that she acts very shy and is never forthcoming in a conversation. She doesn’t seem to be honest with you about certain things. She may avoid giving constructive feedback, especially in a work context.

If you seem to have some sort of position of power over her and she’s feeling intimidated, she may be becoming overly pleasant.

Rather than voicing her opinions or offering her own perspective, thoughts, and ideas on a topic, she is more of a “yes woman” and just goes with whatever you say.

A refusal to give feedback or criticize someone can be a sign of intimidation. For example, they might be afraid of your reaction.

It can be helpful to ask yourself if there is any justification for another’s fears of doing this. Could your own body language, demeanor, or way of speaking come across negatively?

7) She’s paranoid about what you’re thinking

When we’re comfortable with someone, we tend not to seek the worst.

So if she seems to be overly interpreting everything you say (no matter how innocently meant) or thinks you’re trying to get her somehow, that’s one of those signs that someone is being threatened by you.

When we fear being attacked, it’s natural to become more vigilant. But your heightened sense of wakefulness around you may have led to paranoid beliefs that you don’t have your best interests at heart.

8) She turns her body away from you

Turning away from someone physically is our way of shielding. The threat in this case is not physical, but emotional.

It is an indication that interpersonal contact feels unsafe and undesirable. Turning away from you in conversation, or perhaps in a group, is a sign that she is uncomfortable with your presence.

Turning the body away is like creating a literal escape route. This sign of closed body language is aloof or detached, as highlighted by Forbes:

“When people are busy, they will look straight at you and ‘point’ at you with their torso. However, as soon as they feel uncomfortable, they will turn away – and give you the “cold shoulder”. And if your colleague is feeling defensive, you may see an attempt to protect the torso with a purse, briefcase, laptop, etc.

9) She decided she didn’t like you without even getting to know you.

We are all guilty of making quick decisions about someone without having enough information. But when someone develops an instant dislike for you, it can often be more because of them than you.

The assumptions we make about others usually reflect something more about ourselves than about others.

While it’s reasonable for someone not to particularly like you if you make them obnoxious, rude, or slightly insulting when they first meet you, it’s more suspicious if their apparent dislike for you has little basis.

It could be that certain traits and qualities you have make them feel insecure. Without the confidence to think about what motivates her emotions, she could misinterpret this uneasiness within herself as dislike for you.

10) She seems to avoid or exclude you

What’s the easiest way to avoid feeling intimidated by someone threatening us? It’s likely to try to avoid being around her as much as possible.

Ok, this might not be the most sophisticated or sane way to deal with the discomfort of intimidation, but there’s no denying that it’s the simplest solution.

She may disappear when you’re around or find excuses to leave the conversation or the situation.

She may even exclude you on purpose. If it seems like everyone else you know is on the invite list besides you, this charisma can be conscious.

Maybe ignoring you is more subtle. It may feel like she responds positively when other people are speaking, but when you speak, she seems to ignore you.

Of course, this can also be a sign that someone doesn’t like you, not that you’re intimidating them. But if you pick up other cues from the list as well, she might just give you the cold shoulder because she’s uncomfortable around you.

11) It seems like she is judging or judging you

Whenever a woman looks another woman up and down, she is silently evaluating her.

It’s natural to scrutinize someone and we all do it, some are just more obvious than others.

There are also different ways to do this, and it’s certainly not always negative. However, we can usually sense when this is being done judgmentally rather than curiously.

Have you ever had the impression that someone’s cogs turn when they speak? That they spend most of their time and energy scouting you out instead of listening to you?

If she feels threatened by you, she may try to figure out where she stands, if she can trust you, and how she feels about you.

12) She is constantly trying to find fault with you

As I said in the introduction to this article, everyone reacts differently when they feel threatened by someone else.

How we behave when we feel physically threatened is also often very different from how we behave when we feel emotionally threatened.

Some women, when intimidated, instead of retreating into themselves, try to find subtle ways to calm themselves.

For example, if a girl is intimidated by your looks, she may try to validate herself by trying to find flaws in you.

And how do you know if a girl is jealous of your relationship? She may dismiss his merits or be passive aggressively picky about your relationship or partner.

Aside from being overly critical of you, she may have a hard time acknowledging and giving you credit, even when it’s clear that you did well or that you’re right.

She can crack cutting “jokes” that are a little too close to the bone. When it comes to the mean girl, it’s the age old tale of tearing others down so we can feel better about ourselves.

13) She’s bragging about you

Bragging is usually due to some form of insecurity. If someone feels threatened by certain aspects of you, they may try to enter competitions.

Therefore, bragging is not only a sign of intimidation, but also one of the subtle signs that another woman is jealous of you.

dr Susan Whitbourne, professor emeritus of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Massachusetts, says bragging insecurity typically works in four ways:

She tries to make you insecure because she is projecting her own insecurities onto you.

She tries to showcase her accomplishments to deal with her own feelings of inferiority and to convince herself that she is worth it.

She makes “humble boasts” far too often, but these self-deprecating remarks are actually a subtle way of showing off.

She complains about low standards around her, concluding that her standards are much higher than everyone else’s.

14) She is defensive

When we feel intimidated by someone else, we are on guard. Whenever we’re on the alert, there’s a chance we’ll get defensive.

Defensive behaviors are common responses when people feel personally attacked, even if that perception exists in their minds rather than in reality.

This may result in harsh, unreasonable or unfair behavior towards you. For example, you may find that she suddenly becomes annoyed or angry with you quite randomly.

If you’re having a discussion about something and your opinions differ, you may feel like she’s ignoring or deflecting your point of view.

You may find that she uses certain dismissive terms or phrases to shut you up – “what a bunch of junk” or “you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about”.

Getting defensive always happens when we feel backed into a corner. Your intimidation could create this effect.

15) She tries to persuade you

Superiority is another clear sign of a person’s ingrained insecurity—an insecurity that can arise from intimidation.

No matter what you do, is she always trying to surpass it and go one step further?

As the Stereophonics song says, “If I had a flying giraffe. You would have one in a box with a window.”

Even if she acts like she doesn’t care, the fact that she’s always trying to outshine you suggests otherwise.

If she feels like she can’t hit you, she may try to hit you instead.

Talking negatively about you behind your back or trying to undermine you in any way shows that she sees you as a threat. If she can’t surpass you, she will try to put you down in the eyes of others instead.

1. Your friend often tries to sabotage your success One of the telltale signs that your friend is competing with you is that he/she often tries to sabotage your success. You may feel like your friend is trying to make you believe that you cannot be successful or that you cannot do anything better. Not only that, but in order to sabotage your success, your friend may try to distract you from your goals.

2. Your friend seems to appreciate your failure. There may be times when you are unsuccessful and you may turn to your friend for help and support. If you find your friend happy and smiling, it could mean that your friend is someone who wants to compete with you.

3. Your boyfriend rarely celebrates your success Does your boyfriend really celebrate your success and seems happy that you’re making the most of your career? If no, it could be because your friend is trying to compete with you. Instead of celebrating your accomplishments, you may find that he/she pretends to be happy and finds ways to outshine you. In fact, he/she would often find some lame excuses to avoid celebrating your success.

4. Your friend always copies you Whether you learned to cook or bought a new dress, he/she would do the same. Sometimes you may feel that your friend is taking inspiration from you, but if he/she sees you as competition then you cannot deny that your friend may have ulterior motives. Not only that, he/she would never honor you. He/she will copy and then pretend that you are the one copying.

5. Your friend is always trying to figure out what you’re up to One of the signs that your friend is competing with you is that he/she is always trying to figure out what you’re up to. He/she would either spy on you or constantly monitor what you are doing. They do this to make sure they don’t get left behind. Instead of appreciating what you’re doing, they’ll never shy away from finding out what you’re up to.

6. Your friend always belittles your hard work If your friend never appreciates your hard work and dedication to your work, then this could be a red flag you shouldn’t ignore. No matter how much hard work and effort you put into making something better, your friend would always criticize you. He/she may criticize you in subtle ways. Your friend may tell you that you’re trying to do the wrong thing and that it’s better to focus on a few mediocre things.

7. Your friend often emphasizes your negative aspects A true friend is the one who always emphasizes the positive aspects of your life. He/she will always make you believe in your abilities and abilities. But if your friend often highlights your negative aspects and points out your gray areas and flaws, then it could be because he/she is competing with you. No matter what you do, he/she will always find faults in you and make you feel unhappy.

8. Your boyfriend is always trying to outshine you There can be times when you come across people who are always on their toes to outshine others. The moment you tell your friend that you did well in any subject, he/she would try to score higher than you. Or if you landed a job, he/she would try to outshine you by securing a job that pays more. They do this to present themselves as superior and more successful than you.

People talk a lot about “red flags” in relationships, but what exactly does that term mean? Are all warning signs the same for everyone? And are they a reason to walk away, or does it ever make sense to raise the red flag and repair the relationship? This article will answer those questions and also outline some of the most common relationship red flags to be aware of.

What are red flags for relationships?

In all contexts, the term “red flag” means a reason to stop. Red flags are thrown in sports when a game is stopped for a foul, and waved at racetracks when conditions are too dangerous to continue. Red lights signal us to stop our vehicles on the road and bureaucracy warns us not to cross a certain point.

“In relationships, red flags are signs that the person is unlikely to be in a healthy relationship and it would be emotionally dangerous to walk down the path together,” explains Dr. Wendy Walsh, PhD, a clinical psychologist specializing in relationships.

Note that red flags in a relationship may not be obvious. While some are very clear, many could serve more as a clue or indication that there is an underlying issue. Also, it can take some time before a warning sign shows up in a relationship.

Relationship Red Flags vs. Yellow Flags

It is important to understand the difference between a red flag and a yellow flag. Ultimately, red flags point to a reason to end or withdraw from a relationship, while yellow flags are less serious and instead warn us to slow down. Oftentimes, yellow flags vary based on your personal needs and desires in a relationship, while a red flag is more universal.

“[For example] a yellow flag may involve difficulties with emotional communication that the person is aware of and is working on,” says Dr. Walsh. “A red flag might be someone with a history of domestic violence, chronic cheating, or substance abuse.”

10 Relationship Warning Signs You Should Know

If your partner is showing any of the following red flags, it’s time to talk to you and them about the future of your relationship. While all scenarios are different and there is always room for nuance, a red flag indicates a deep issue that the other person needs to address in order to have a healthy relationship with you, themselves, and everyone else.

Alcoholism & Drug Addiction

“Drinking daily, or drinking to intoxication a few times a week, can be a warning sign of a drinking problem,” says Amber Trueblood, LMFT. Addiction to drugs to get through the day, week, or difficult times in life is also a concern.

When alcohol or drugs are negatively affecting your partner’s life – whether it’s work, health, or relationships – it’s a sign of addiction. If your partner relies on substances to get them through the day, week, or a difficult situation, it’s an indication of addiction and means they haven’t yet figured out how to use it without altering their state of mind.

Finally, if drug use ever causes your partner to harm you physically or emotionally, that’s a clear sign that you should walk away.

depictions of violence

Someone who engages in violence toward you, loved ones, strangers, and even animals is a serious red flag. It suggests that they haven’t developed a healthy way to properly channel their emotions. In some cases, it could also indicate that they lack empathy for others.

If you or a loved one have been a victim of domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential assistance from trained attorneys. For more mental health resources, visit our National Helpline Database.

Mismatched relationship goals

dr Walsh says when your relationship goals are at odds, it could be a sign it’s time to walk away. While this is less of a red flag in the sense that it’s a personal issue that needs work on, it is a red flag for the future of your relationship.

dr Wendy Walsh For example, if they say they will never marry and that is what you want, believe them. – dr Wendy Walsh

Other misaligned relationship goals are where you want to live, whether you want children, and how you want to manage finances.

Persistent jealousy and distrust

“Another common red flag is jealousy and distrust,” says Trueblood. “Often the red flag of a very insecure partner looks like attention early in a relationship, but behind all that attention is an underlying control issue. Later in the relationship, it’s easier to look back and reinterpret that constant attention or over-generousness as desperate insecurity.”

history of infidelity

Relationships need trust to be successful. If your partner has a history of infidelity, it’s important to proceed with caution.

Even if your partner has changed, you need to ask yourself if you feel comfortable continuing the relationship knowing that they have cheated in the past. This may not bother some people, but if you do, then realize that this factor will affect your ability to fully trust your partner.

control nature

A partner who is controlling in any way likely has deep personal issues that they need to work on. Reconsider your relationship if your partner is trying to control who you see, who you talk to, where you go, how you spend your money, what you do online, what your body looks like, what you eat, or even what you wear.

Crazy Exes Stories

It’s common to talk about old flames, especially when it’s your first time dating someone new. Pay attention to the language your partner uses when talking about those they’ve dated in the past. This type of perspective distracts from any responsibility and shows a lack of respect for the people who once cared for and loved them.

Amber Trueblood, LMFT “If a potential partner calls their ex crazy instead of taking 50% of the blame for craziness in previous relationships, [there’s a good chance you’ll be] their next ‘crazy ex’.” — Amber Trueblood, LMFT

No friends

If your partner has trouble forming and maintaining relationships, it could indicate that you will have trouble connecting with them as well.

Try to understand why your partner has trouble connecting with others. If you find a discrepancy, no personal fault, or lack of drive, you will likely receive the same treatment in your relationship.

They give you all their time

This red flag can sometimes tie in with the last one. When a partner doesn’t have other relationships, hobbies, or goals, that’s a recipe for an unhealthy, unfulfilling relationship.

When each party has their own sense of self, it can enrich your individual self and bond. When someone completely and always relies on you for their happiness and entertainment, it can lead to feelings of suffocation, resentment, and unhappiness.

lack of emotional intimacy

One of the best parts of a romantic relationship is connecting deeply and authentically with another person. For some, emotional intimacy is a challenge, but it should always be the goal. A partner who shows no interest in opening up and bonding is the death knell of a relationship.

A word from Verywell

Our list of warning signs is not exhaustive; there are definitely others. Ultimately, it’s important to trust your gut and move away from a partner who is showing one or more red flags. In some cases, it may make sense to try to salvage your bond, but if your partner isn’t showing any signs of self-correction, it’s probably best to walk away. If you’ve ever had trouble knowing what to do, talking to a therapist can help.

Jealousy is one of those demons that seems to take over everything when it’s felt — even when you know inside that your jealousy doesn’t make any sense, it often still breaks through and holds you hostage. Many people even go so far as to call jealousy an innate emotion, as if no matter what, sometimes we will always feel some jealousy and there is nothing we can do about it.

In fact, some people think jealousy is healthy because it means they are taken care of. You know you are in love, it is said, when you feel tremendous jealousy because that special love you share is shared with someone else. Without jealousy and other associated negative involuntary emotions, the relationship might as well end, they say, because then you no longer have a passionate divine spark. If you never get jealous, it must mean that you can turn your emotions on and off as you please, leaving no organic drive to feel.

I want to correct some assumptions here – because it’s obvious if you look around enough that there are people who never really feel jealousy. i am one of them Such people do not have more superficial feelings; Rather, they have a built-in understanding that directs negative emotions away from feelings of jealousy. This holds a lot of hope for the other people who tend to become prisoners of the grip of jealousy: it’s not an inevitable process.

The difference between envy and jealousy

Envy arises when you see someone else experiencing something you would like them to have. You get a feeling of desire inside, like you want what they have. But that feeling doesn’t necessarily lead to jealousy, you see; You can be jealous of someone’s situation and sympathize with them. Let’s say one of your friends is on an exercise program and is in really good shape. You envy them, and that’s why you approach them and ask them what their secret is, and maybe even if you can join them and do what they do. This is an example of an envy response that leads not to jealousy but to motivating, progressive thinking.

Jealousy is different; it is an entirely negative, regressive state of mind. The jealous thought says, “I want what you have, so you shouldn’t have it until I have it.” This is very different from simple envy, for now the emphasis isn’t on you moving forward, but rather to hold the other person back. This is why jealousy can be so destructive and all consuming; The jealous individual gets into a state of mind that usurps the right to control other people’s pleasures! whoops Even if they don’t say anything at all, the feelings are still there and the air is heavy with them.

Small feelings of jealousy are understandable sometimes, and I’ll talk about why in a moment. However, once we get into a situation of chronic jealousy, I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to say that there is potential abuse later on, since jealousy involves that sense of entitlement to control. There’s definitely a really big incentive for people prone to jealousy to work on themselves to minimize the recurrence of those all-consuming feelings. Jealousy is not a feeling that should be taken as a sign that strong love exists. In fact, it’s the opposite; Jealousy comes from a perspective of self-preservation, not out of love for others. Now let’s talk about why that is.

The real roots of jealous feelings

Most societies seem to characterize jealousy as a natural response to sharing something sacred or important with someone else (the primary example is usually romantic, sexual, or otherwise intimate love). That totally messed things up. The power of jealousy doesn’t come from sharing something special to you; rather it comes from the feeling that you are about to lose that special thing that is being shared – that by sharing you run the risk of losing it. This loss aversion is natural! Of course, even people who don’t feel jealous have times when they fear losing something precious. It’s part of the human experience.

I remember wondering at one point: people don’t usually seem to get jealous when they’re best friends with someone who also has another “best friend” with someone who has that kind of relationship with others?

I now realize that this perspective has to do with a fear of loss—something that the sense of ownership that pervades romantic relationships can very well induce us. Whether it’s dogmatic monogamy or a “one man, many women” version of polygamy, social norms strongly dictate that intimate relationships = ownership. Now, you might think this is a ridiculous idea, but really think for a moment how marriage is regulated: You have to get permission from a judge to get married or divorced. The government must recognize you and your partner as organized in a family unit – you cannot do this yourself.

Then there are those sneaky terms we use in language to indicate relational ties that covertly suggest notions of property: “my everything,” “till death do us part,” “he’s mine,” “for her.” is spoken” and other such expressions carry the burden of rigidity and limitations consistent with a “contract” — because hey, that’s what marriage really boils down to, isn’t it? You can have the deepest, closest relationship that isn’t marriage, and you can have an unintimate, passionate “marriage of convenience” on the other hand—but there’s no escaping, either way, that marriage, even in popular discourse, is characterized by the Government regulated, and therefore not inherently something sacred that you create with your partner. All of these lingering norms and expectations about what a relationship is supposed to be have a major impact on how we orient ourselves toward those relationships—even when the notion of marriage doesn’t exist, especially in normative, heterosexual contexts.

Now, when we look at this ubiquitous background of relationships = property, it becomes much easier to understand why feelings of loss and envy are confused with jealousy. The reality is that you cannot control how your partner feels or what they want. Despite all the babble out there talking about how to “keep your man” or “keep her from going out,” the truth is, you don’t have that control. Loss and separation can happen at any time, and “putting on a ring” or moving in together will not erase such thoughts and possibilities.

You want to know what helps? Honest, open communication – in which, instead of meeting loss with a restrictive jealous mindset, we can be open about our fear of loss and talk about it more calmly. It can sometimes be very difficult to do this because it leaves you vulnerable – but guess what? Vulnerability is an essential part of intimate relationships! You are vulnerable all the time, whether you like it or not, and I am saying that having that vulnerability under control and being able to deal with it is better than having it suddenly flare up and manage you.

If you tend to get jealous, I urge you to observe yourself: see if you can find the grain of fear that you will lose something precious that is fueling your jealousy. I guarantee you it’s always there. What other reason could you possibly have for preventing someone you care about having fun?

Jealousy, Shakespeare’s “green-eyed monster,” is a universal human experience. Like love itself, jealousy is multidimensional, encompassing emotions (fear, anger), thoughts (“she will leave me for him,” “he loves her more than me”), and behaviors (nagging; spying on your partner).

Partly jealousy resides within – a trait of the individual shaped by their personality and unique history. When and how people feel and express jealousy has to do with who they are.

However, just as importantly, jealousy is also a characteristic of the relationship that emerges from the couple’s dynamic, a product of their particular dance of intimacy. When and how you feel and express jealousy has to do with you, the person you are with, and your relationship as a couple.

Finally, like everything human, jealousy is formed in a socio-cultural milieu; When and how you become jealous has to do with the dictates of your culture, the social mores, traditions, and expectations that frame your life.

The term “jealousy” usually has negative connotations. Jealous people are often perceived as unreasonable, controlling, concerned, possessive, and dangerous. When jealousy invades romantic relationships, it often brings pain, as distrust and conflict are likely to result.

It’s no surprise that research has often linked romantic jealousy to arguments and dissatisfaction in a relationship. Individuals prone to jealousy have been found to suffer from low self-esteem and self-confidence, experience depression, and have insecure attachment styles.

At the extreme end of the continuum are these obsessively and morbidly jealous individuals – mostly men – who end up committing what is inelegantly known as “crimes of passion.” (In fact, these are primarily violent crimes.)

However, it is wrong to view romantic jealousy as 100% bad—the product of a weak personality and the harbinger of strife. Research has shown that jealousy can be a sign of feeling deeply in love with a partner. It can contribute to relationship satisfaction by signaling emotional commitment and commitment. It can contribute to relationship stability by prompting partners to continue nurturing their bond and actively protecting their connection.

In the early 1990s, evolutionary psychologist David Buss and his colleagues famously suggested that jealousy is actually an adaptive response, as necessary as love and sex to warn mates of potential threats from external “mate poachers.” As a tool to protect and retain partners, they argued, jealousy is not a flaw in our software but a feature of our evolved hardware.

If jealousy is a biologically wired adaptive mechanism, then we might expect it to show up in children. And it does.

We would expect it in other social animals as well, and so do we. For example, a recent study by Christine Harris and Caroline Prouvost of the University of California San Diego showed that dogs exhibit this as well. The authors found that dogs “exhibited significantly more jealous behaviors (e.g., snapping, getting between owner and object, pushing/touching object/owner) when their owners displayed affectionate behaviors toward seemingly other dogs than toward nonsocial objects. ”

In addition, evolutionary psychology makes two specific predictions based on this view of jealousy as adaptive. First, it suggests that in any intimate relationship, the more attractive partner inspires more jealousy. Indeed, Buss & Shackelford (1997) found that men were more jealous of female partners at the peak of their youth and attractiveness, while women were more jealous of male partners of high status and wealth. The research also found that in romantic couples, the higher the social value (attractiveness to others) of their partner, the more likely a person is to experience jealousy.

Second, evolutionary psychology predicts that men and women differ in the types of transgressions that provoke their jealousy. Men’s ability to replicate their genes is highly dependent on their access to an unoccupied uterus. Therefore, they are likely to be particularly jealous of sexual infidelity. Females, on the other hand, have little trouble getting sperm, but they need the male’s presence and ongoing engagement to increase the chances that their offspring will survive and thrive. Therefore, women will be jealous of the emotional infidelity of their male partners.

Research has tended to support this hypothesis. For example, Brad Sagarin of Northern Illinois University and his colleagues recently published meta-analyses of 40 studies that measured gender differences in jealousy. They found a significant gender difference in responses to sexual and emotional infidelity in both the actual and hypothetical infidelities studied.

In addition, a new study just conducted by Dr. David Frederick of Chapman University and Melissa Fales, a Ph.D. UCLA candidate examined responses to sexual versus emotional jealousy in 63,894 gay, lesbian, bisexual and straight participants in the United States.

The researchers asked participants to imagine which scenario would upset them more: their partners having sex with someone else (but not falling in love with them) or their partners falling in love with someone else (but not having sex with them). ). The results were consistent with the evolutionary perspective. Specifically, straight men were more likely than straight women to be upset about sexual infidelity (54 vs. 35%) and less than straight women to be upset about emotional infidelity (46 vs. 65%). This gender difference was evident across age groups, income levels, history of cheating, history of infidelity, relationship type and duration, but only in heterosexual participants.

The tendency to become jealous of one’s romantic partner appears to be biologically wired and reflects our distant past; but biological and distant explanations are never sufficient to explain obvious psychological experiences. “Biologically adaptable” does not necessarily mean “mentally healthy” or “socially acceptable”.

Evolution has the business of making genes move forward, not the business of making people and relationships thrive. And so, the conflicting research on whether jealousy helps or harms relationships still requires explanation.

In the early 1990s, Robert Bringle of Purdue University in Indianapolis suggested a possible explanation by suggesting the existence of two different types of jealousy.

The first type is suspicious jealousy, which tends to be chronic in nature and primarily involves distrust, suspicious brooding, and snooping behavior that occurs in the absence of a real or significant external threat. This type of jealousy is essentially neurotic because it is primarily a reflection of inner turmoil and relates to individual characteristics of the jealous person, such as fear and low self-esteem.

In contrast, reactive jealousy tends to be episodic in nature; it arises when a concrete external threat to intimacy is introduced (someone punches your husband). Reactive jealousy is most often an emotional response to real, current outside threats and overt partner behavior; The reactively jealous person is more aware of their behavior, takes responsibility for it, and considers their partner’s intent when assessing the situation.

The two types of jealousy can overlap, and one can morph into the other. Catching your partner with someone else can turn your reactive jealousy into suspicious jealousy as you worry about your partner’s overall trustworthiness.

On the other hand, suspicious jealousy could turn into a reactive one. Constantly pestering and nagging your partner with unwarranted jealous accusations and suspicions, this very behavior can make you a less attractive partner and therefore more likely to actually be abandoned for a more worthy rival. Minor jealousy can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, as your partner may decide that if they’re already doing the time, they might as well commit the crime.

This framework predicts that suspicious jealousy will be associated with negative attributes and outcomes, while reactive jealousy will be associated with positive personal and relationship attributes. Research appears to support this prediction.

For example, a recent study by social psychologist Mark Attridge found that suspicious jealousy, characterized by anxious brooding thoughts and surveillance behaviors, was associated with lower life satisfaction and more compulsive and playful love styles. Reactive jealousy, characterized by a strong emotional response, was associated with greater relationship commitment, higher satisfaction, and greater closeness.

The take-home message that emerges from the research is that jealousy in the context of romantic relationships should not be greeted with surprise, nor necessarily alarm. Your answer should depend on the nature and source of the jealousy. If you are the recipient of suspicious jealousy, it should warn you to examine your partner’s character. If you get reactive jealousy, examine your own actions.

Conversely, if you are experiencing suspicious jealousy, chronic rumination and obsessive nagging, or surveillance behavior with no evidence of genuine relationship threats, then self-examination is in order, as you are likely to be haunted by “ghosts” – unresolved issues in your personal history that may be changing your perceptions in the relationship Distorting the here and now and causing you to see the world as you are, not as it is. If your jealousy is emotional, reactive, examine your partner and their actions.

If, after reflection, you both decide that your relationship is worth protecting, nurturing, and saving, then it seems that open, constructive communication is a key to dealing with jealousy.

However, honest communication about jealousy is not easy. Because jealousy carries a social stigma and disclosure to a lover can complicate relationships, people are often reluctant to speak openly about it.

Still, secrecy, distrust, and insecurity are not solid foundations on which to build a relationship. When it comes to jealousy, misplaced worry and rumination can lead to counterproductive coping strategies like threats and manipulation.

At the end of the day, when trying to solve the problem of jealousy, we would do well to remember that while good communication, like in other human affairs, does not guarantee success, its lack practically guarantees failure.

A woman in your life whose behavior strikes you as odd or rude can make you feel angry or even disturbed.

To find out the cause of her behavior, you might want to watch her for signs of jealousy in a woman.

She may have decided that you are jeopardizing one of her relationships or her position in life.

When this is the case, their insecurity may prompt vindictive or passive-aggressive behavior.

Why would a girl be jealous of another girl?

Everyone is prone to jealousy when they perceive that a person can take away something or someone important to them. Romantic relationships are a classic example of jealousy between women.

A woman realizes that another woman has caught the attention of her boyfriend. The competition from the other woman makes her jealous and fears that her boyfriend will leave her for a more attractive partner.

Common situations that provoke female jealousy are:

She catches the attention of your romantic partner.

She spends more time with your best friend.

She develops a strong friendship with your sister.

She outperforms you in the workplace.

She beats you in a competition.

A woman doesn’t have to be successful or even want to break up your marriage, take your best friend, or get the promotion instead of you. She just needs to be perceived as capable and likely to do those things.

A girl about to dethrone another woman from an esteemed position or status could be showing overt or covert signs of female jealousy.

15 signs a woman is jealous of another woman

1. Act defensively

Few people will readily admit to being jealous when asked about it.

The jealous woman will deny that she was thinking of the other person or motivated by insecure feelings. She will insist that only innocent reasons motivated her actions or comments made to the other woman.

2. Phone snooping

A jealous woman may not be able to resist snooping on someone’s phone when the opportunity presents itself.

She wants to know if her boyfriend or best friend is communicating with the woman she considers a rival. Her suspicions drive her to violate the privacy of the person whose relationship she is trying to defend.

If you’re trying to figure out how to tell if a girl is being intimidated by another girl, pay close attention to what she says about the other woman’s looks.

Jealousy can make her feel intimidated because she fears she won’t be able to keep up.

As a result, she may try to belittle other people’s opinions of the girl by saying negative things about her appearance. The intense emotions triggered by jealousy can lead to sarcastic or critical remarks about a person’s appearance.

4. Applaud failures

If she is jealous, she will really enjoy it when the other woman makes a mistake or fails in some way.

She’ll be sure to gossip about her unhappiness and strive to undermine how other people see her.

5. Feigning physical or emotional distress

In trying to keep a boyfriend, sister, or girlfriend away from another woman, she may find reasons to keep someone close to her. She can invent reasons like:

“You have to go with me because I get restless in large groups.”

“We can’t go to this party because my stomach hurts.”

“I sprained my ankle and need you to drive me today.”

6. Debt Release

A jealous girl may openly confront the boyfriend’s interest in spending time with the other girl.

She wants that person to feel bad about taking the attention away from them. She will remind her boyfriend that he should value her over others because of all the nice things she does for him.

She may complain to her best friend about being left out, which hurts her feelings.

7. Disparaging success

This is a behavior that is common in the workplace when a woman is jealous of another woman.

She will try to tone down how people view the other woman’s success. She can encourage the idea that her rival has not achieved success through hard work and skill.

Instead, she was only successful because of her good looks, sexual behavior, or appreciation for the work of others. The jealous actions are designed to defend their position in the workplace hierarchy or win a promotion.

8. Upping their game

How can you tell if a girl is jealous? You will see how she changes some things about herself. Jealousy might inspire a woman to suddenly improve herself, like wearing nicer clothes or getting a new haircut.

9. Exaggerate your success

Jealousy can make her try to win back the limelight from her rival. She will put a fantastic twist on her achievements to make them seem like a lot more than they are.

10. Abruptly changing moods

If there are no other signs of jealousy in a woman, she can instantly become sulky in the presence of the girl who makes her jealous.

Even if she doesn’t say or do anything hostile, or treat a friend suspiciously, she can’t hide the fact that she’s officially in a bad mood the moment the other girl shows up.

11. Without the woman

When a jealous woman is planning an event or organizing work assignments, she may banish her rival. She won’t invite you to the party at all.

13. Expressing open dislike

Not everyone is subtle. Sometimes a jealous woman decides to make it clear that she hates someone. She will say mean things about her rival and try to sabotage her every step.

14. Getting clingy

She can monopolize the time of a romantic partner, sibling, or friend. She wants to get together every day and do things as “just the two of us.”

She remains physically close and maintains frequent telephone contact when she is unable to be present. Her plan boils down to making it impossible for the object of her affection to interact with her rival.

15. Trying to find allies

Some women are very adept at manipulating social forces. A jealous woman might spend her social capital on a campaign to isolate and expel her female rival.

To achieve this, she can persuade other people to share her negative opinions about the other person. She may ask them to exclude her from social or professional functions.

4. Make it seem like she’s not your top priority

If you’re occasionally busy when your girlfriend calls you or has plans with friends when she wants to meet you, that’s totally normal. She doesn’t mind if she has her own social life.

7. Show off your talents

It may sound counterintuitive, but it can play an important role when it comes to jealousy. If you have an ability or quality that you don’t often display, flaunt it around other women or in social situations and make them jealous. It could be that you are an excellent musician, a great cook, or even something as simple as a great sense of humor.

Everyone needs some alone time from time to time. But if you show your girlfriend that you’re happy without her, she’ll be jealous in no time. Express how pleasant it is to hang out with your friends, spend time with your family, or spend a long time with colleagues in the office. Since she wants to be the person who makes you feel good, she will be jealous.

10. Have a close friend

Platonic relationships between men and women could exist anywhere. But if you have a close friend that you can confide in and she’s your go-to person, it might make your girlfriend a little jealous. However, you have to be careful in this situation because it can get bitter if you are not able to keep your balance. You can play pranks and make her jealous, but show it before it goes overboard.

Do it casually and don’t go to extremes that might cause her pain. Remember, you want her to be jealous, not hateful.

12. Show affection inconsistently

You can change the dynamic between you and your girlfriend and make her think. For example, be loving and infatuated one day and become passive and indifferent the next day. On the days when you don’t give her the attention and love, she might wonder what has changed and if she is doing something wrong. If there is no readily available answer, she would be jealous and think that your emotional needs are being met by someone else.

13. Pay attention to others, not them

When you attend a social event, laugh and compliment others’ stories, jokes, and experiences, and be more considerate of them. Try to ignore them all the time. It works better if you enjoy your girlfriend’s girlfriend’s company. While it may seem like you are making an effort with them at first, she eventually becomes jealous of the attention they are getting from you.

14. Make it your mission to show how self-sufficient you are

During a long breakup, it’s normal to show that you miss your partner or that you wish you were with them. If you want to make your girlfriend jealous, don’t do it. Let her be the one who calls or texts you first when you are not apart. To make it funnier, you can even appear nonchalant when she tells you she misses or loves you by responding politely and saying, “Me too,” “Yes,” and “Okay, sure.” The key is, Showing disinterest and not being outright rude.

15. Being close to an ex

Even in the healthiest of relationships, ex-boyfriends are a touchy subject. If you suddenly become close to your ex by meeting or calling her often, your girlfriend is likely to get jealous. If she’s convinced it’s platonic, you can increase the frequency of these visits/conversations to see how she responds. Make sure you don’t cross boundaries as the goal is to make your girlfriend jealous in a healthy way and not hurt her.

16. Compare her to other women

Comparing partners to others is not desirable in a relationship. However, you can do it playfully. For example, if she is late for something or forgets something, you can indicate that your girlfriend’s friend is on time. When she accomplishes something, you can playfully say that someone else did better. Such things can make her even more jealous as she will not like it.

17. Comment on women’s attractiveness

It’s perfectly natural to notice attractive people of the opposite sex, even if you’re in a relationship, as long as you don’t act on it. To make your girlfriend jealous, you can comment on how pretty someone looks. Compliments like “She looks good in that dress” or “She got fit” can make her jealous.

18. Get fit and brag about it

Regardless of your fitness level, if you manage to get noticeably fitter and post about it, people are sure to take notice. It is prevalent in the social media age. You can casually upload a vacation picture or post-workout picture to get a lot of attention from people. It can make your girlfriend jealous that other women find you attractive.

19. Rush about your celebrity crush

We all have that one actor, model or celebrity that we are attracted to. This is natural. You can talk about it in front of your girlfriend as long as you don’t overdo it. They can make harmless comments about how fit they are or how the outfit or hairstyle suits them. While this can make her jealous, being attracted to celebrities is just as natural.

20. Be sensitive to other women, within acceptable limits

Platonic relationships exist and are normal. But if you are often physically involved with a girlfriend, it will induce jealousy in your girlfriend. Even if you don’t intend to flirt or make her jealous, gestures like patting on the back, hugging, playing with each other’s hair, or adjusting clothes or glasses can appear intimate to others, especially your girlfriend.

21. Connect more deeply with friends

We often confide in our friends things that we don’t confide in our partners. It happens when you have a close or old friend. Sharing your deepest secrets, fears, and ambitions with them doesn’t have to manifest as competition. But showing her that your boyfriend is more reliable and that you trust him more can cause jealousy.

22. Don’t get into a long-term relationship

Not committing too quickly is a completely normal thing and within your rights. It’s okay to take your time deciding whether to move in together or get married, as these are big steps in a relationship. However, if you’re ready to take those big leaps and make your girlfriend jealous, you might avoid talking about it or change the subject if she brings it up.

23. Seek attention on social media

It’s something most people do, and not necessarily to make their partners jealous. But in a relationship, it’s an unspoken rule that you shouldn’t flirt on social media. If you do, your girlfriend will be jealous as she sees you seeking validation and compliments from obscure or even random people on the internet.

Targeting jealousy is a tricky balancing act. If you cross the line you may lose your girlfriend as she would like to be with someone who appreciates her. And if you make her feel too secure in the relationship, she might take it for granted or your relationship might become boring. Finding the middle ground between the two requires good judgment and moderation.

Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I make my girlfriend jealous? If your intention isn’t to hurt your girlfriend, but just to annoy her, then it’s okay to make her jealous. However, don’t overdo it. If you feel that your girlfriend is too upset or worried about the relationship, it is better to disclose your plan. 2. How can I make my girlfriend jealous over texting? You can change your display picture, tell her you’re busy, or keep talking about another girl to annoy her. You could even send her a text or emoji and delete her before she sees it. Still, make sure you don’t hurt her feelings. 3. How to Make Her Jealous on Social Media? One of the best ways to make her jealous on social media is to post an unusual status or picture with an interesting caption. For example, you can post a painterly view and mention, “Reminds me of someone.” You could even try liking other people’s pictures or commenting on girls’ posts.

In an ideal relationship, you want your partner to feel safe and loved. However, if you want to stoke the fire to rekindle some sparks in your relationship, it can help make your girlfriend jealous. All of the above suggestions, including talking and complimenting other women and forgetting about the plans together, can help you figure out how to make your girlfriend jealous. But be careful and don’t go too far to make sure it doesn’t backfire.

Important Notes A little jealousy can make your girlfriend grow closer to you.

It might be enough to ignore her or praise other women in her presence.

But overdoing these tricks also risks damaging your relationship.

She likes you and she knows that you like her too. Why on earth would she say “no” to going out with you? Why would a girl reject a guy she likes? It doesn’t make sense, does it?

Being rejected by a girl who you know likes you can be painful and confusing — as if it goes straight to the core of your manhood. If that’s how you’re feeling right now, trust me – I sympathize. I was there too.

Still, there’s good news: we know exactly why women reject men they like. And when you understand the reasons for the rejection, things become a lot less painful and confusing.

Better yet, if you know what’s really going on, you can start making adjustments so more women will say “yes” to you. And this article will do that for you.

So let’s get the girl. Let’s start at the bottom:

Why would a girl reject a guy she likes?

There are many reasons, but they all boil down to five main reasons. Later in this article, you’ll learn how to adjust your strategies to deal with these reasons, but for now, it’s best to familiarize yourself with them first.

Why would a girl reject a guy she likes? First of all:

#1: She is not available

Here’s a fact that’s both sobering and reassuring at the same time: 80% of the women you approach won’t be available to date. The reasons for their unavailability may be different:

They may not be interested in dating and relationships and instead just be there for dates.

You may already be taken and therefore have no interest in meeting and dating new men. (Up to half of them will be married.)

Maybe their lives are too busy and they don’t have time for love.

You got the idea right? It could be anything. All in all, a sobering statistic. You may be very fond of women, but only one in five of them will be available to date you. So if you approach them, they will inevitably reject you.

Still, here’s the reassuring part: if you’ve been rejected many times in the past, four out of five of those rejections weren’t your fault. So don’t push yourself too hard.

That means it still remains the one in five rejection that was your fault. And while it may be uncomfortable to keep imagining that rejection over and over again, remember: with the right knowledge, you won’t make the same mistake twice.

So let’s get that knowledge now.

#2: You moved too slowly

Here’s the second reason she rejected you even though she liked you: You didn’t make your move on time. Either you didn’t touch her at all, or you hesitated and waited too long.

As a result, she stopped liking you — or more accurately, her attraction to you decreased. If she did her best to get your attention and you still haven’t moved in time, she may not even like you now because you left her efforts in vain.

Here’s the big lesson: gravitation wears off quickly, so from now on you’ll want to strike while the iron is hot. If you’re having trouble spotting the signs a girl likes you, read on – you won’t want to miss the tips later.

#3: You screwed up your first impression

Here she may have really liked you, but you screwed up your first impression. There are many ways to do this:

You didn’t smile enough and instead seemed distant

You didn’t flirt enough and came off platonic instead

You didn’t make eye contact and that’s why you seemed unsure

Etc.

You gave her the impression that you are not manly and attractive. You made her think you weren’t interested in her. And when you asked her, you caught yourself off guard and she said no.

Do you somehow keep messing up your first impressions with women?

#4: Your approach was wrong

Why would a girl reject a guy she likes? She may have liked you – maybe even really liked you. Unfortunately, your approach was cumbersome, needy, or confusing:

Maybe you were too nice a guy and not nearly manly enough

Maybe you did too much for her and didn’t let her return the favor, which made her feel like you owed you

Perhaps you followed their preferences instead of taking the initiative and guiding them

As a result, her attraction to you turned into insecurity. In some cases, insecurity can increase their attraction to you. But in this particular case where you completely missed the mark, it doesn’t do you any favors. In this state, it’s much more likely – almost 100% certain – that she’ll reject you.

#5: She felt too much pressure

Finally, if women keep rejecting you, it could be because they feel too much pressure from you. You may have the following bad habits:

Ask her to be your girlfriend out of the blue

Push her to answer a resounding “yes” or “no” to a date with you

She asks for her number, but it sounds too suggestive (“I think you’re beautiful. Can I have your number so I can get to know you better?”)

In such cases, a woman is likely to be quick to say “no” to avoid the pressure. It doesn’t matter if she likes you — embarrassing her like that is a surefire way to get rejected.

You will soon learn more about the solutions to these obstacles. You’ll get tips on how to adjust your looks, personality, and strategy to attract more women and be less rejected.

For now, think about the times you have been rejected in the past. Now that you know the five reasons why women reject men they like, which one applies to you?

It helps to focus on one sore spot in your strategy at a time. Fix it, get good results, then move on to the next one.

What to do if women keep rejecting you

Now let’s talk about solutions. BeyondAges already has a guide on what to do after you’ve been rejected – it’s here if you need it. In the meantime, if you need guidance on how to minimize and manage the rejections that keep you moving forward, keep these tips in mind:

#1: Don’t take it personally

You know how some men still meet new women even after they’ve been rejected hundreds of times? What gives you confidence? What keeps them from becoming discouraged and jaded?

Very simple: You know the 80% rule. They know that most of the time when they get rejected, it’s not their fault – it was a dice roll that didn’t go their way. So deal with rejection in a healthy way and keep going, meeting new women until you find the one who’s worth it all.

That’s the first big change you can make in your game: stop taking rejections personally. They almost never are. Dust yourself off and try again.

#2: Master of making a good first impression

We have a guide on how to turn the game upside down and get women to approach you. Luckily, the same tips in this guide are a good framework for making a good first impression on women too, such as:

Always look good

Be healthy and fit

Have perfect body language

Be open and welcoming

Offer an open position to approach and talk to

If you’re struggling to make a good impression on the women you meet, this is a great way to get women to approach you instead of the other way around.

#3: Move fast

It must be repeated: the attraction wears off quickly. The moment you sense that a woman likes you (and you like her too), talk to her, chat with her, get her number and set up the one-on-one date – in as little time as you can.

Within 2-3 dates at most, you should know if you want a relationship with her — and if so, what kind of relationship you want. If you wait too long to move, you’ll never get a chance to find out.

#4: Adopt a no-pressure approach

Finally, drop the flashy suggestions. Stop trying to impress women and just be cool and relaxed instead. If you invite her over for coffee on the weekend and she says yes, great. If she says no, don’t worry. There will always be the next girl.

Instead of saying, “I think you’re beautiful. Can I have your number so I can get to know you better?” Say, “I like you. You’re funny. Give me your number.” It’s a lot easier for a woman to say, “Sure!” to such a cool, relaxed request.

Go get the girl

Why would a girl reject a guy she likes? Now you know – there are five reasons. While you can’t do anything about the first reason (it’s unavailable), the other four reasons are entirely within your control. All you have to do is:

Learn not to take rejection personally, even if it hurts sometimes. Master the art of making a good first impression. Proceed quickly. Proceed without pressure

Again, it’s best to fix one sore spot in your game before moving on to the next. Now get to work and get the girl.

Something went wrong. Wait a moment and try again.

Try again

The signs that one woman is jealous of another are not always easy to spot.

You might assume that someone doesn’t like you when in reality she is an insecure woman who is just jealous of you.

Blaming someone for responding to their jealousy is difficult. There is no guarantee that the person will live up to their envy.

Here are 20 signs a woman is jealous of another woman.

1. She tries to be the center of attention when you’re around.

You can tell another woman is jealous of you if she tries to steal the spotlight whenever you are around.

Some people thrive on being the center of attention. If she has a strong personality, chances are she can’t help it.

However, if she’s trying to be the center of attention, it could be a sign that she’s jealous of you.

2. She’s condescending to you.

Jealous people often put others down in hopes of making themselves feel better.

Close friends should celebrate your successes and inspire you to make the most of your failures.

If she does everything she can to make you feel bad, it could be because she feels threatened by your beauty, your success, your talent, and so on.

3. She downplays your success.

It’s normal to feel insecure, but when people feel the need to take it out on you, you should draw the line.

One of the other signs a woman is jealous of you is how she handles your accomplishments.

When you get a promotion at work or have a wonderful first date, does she try to make it seem like it’s not such a big deal?

4. She’s happy when you fail.

You can tell another girl is jealous of you when she seems happy when you fail.

When you share disappointing news with her, does her body language seem more relaxed? When you get up on a date or break out in hives, does it seem like she’s enjoying it?

5. She gossips about you behind your back.

Ah, gossip. Even if you do your best not to participate, you can never fully trust that others will not do the same.

If you hear through the rumor mill that she’s talking trash, she might be jealous of you.

Sometimes jealous people think they can talk their jealousy away. I’m sorry, that’s not how it works!

6. She copies you.

Is she copying your poetic voice, tearing down your art, or trying to emulate your style?

There’s a difference between taking inspiration from someone you love and trying to imitate someone you treat badly.

If she really disapproved of you, she wouldn’t think of copying you.

7. She says you don’t deserve any good.

This one should be obvious. If a woman feels like you don’t deserve happiness at all, something else must be going on.

8. She brags about her achievements.

You can tell jealous women by how much they brag about themselves.

If you’re sure, you don’t have to prove it. Least for your friends.

9. She avoids gatherings in your honor.

Let’s say you’re getting married or your BFFs are throwing you a party to celebrate your promotion.

Does she always have a reason not to show up when something honors you?

Pretending to be busy is a sign that a woman is jealous of you.

10. She praises you when she can benefit from it.

Jealous people are more calculated than you would like to believe.

Notice how she treats you in front of others. When your professor compliments your work in front of her, does she immediately start gushing?

Beating up on you in a professional context would only reflect negatively on her, so she could pull herself together to come across as a positive, safe person.

11. She drops hints on social media.

When in doubt, trust your social media accounts.

If someone is jealous of another woman, they can reveal their behavior online.

Do they constantly subtweet you or purposely lash out at things you love to upset you?

12. You’re dating someone she used to have feelings for.

Unfortunately, romantic relationships can be a huge source of jealousy for some people.

She might be jealous of you if you’re with someone she has her crush on.

13. Or she’s dating someone who used to have feelings for you.

Conversely, if you have a history with her current partner, she might be jealous of you.

People tend to be jealous of another woman when they fear that their partner will leave them because of it.

14. You received more recognition in their field of study.

Do you both work in the same field? Have you received more fame or recognition in your career?

People feel insecure when they don’t get enough recognition. If that’s something you’ve had, it could be one of the many signs a woman is jealous of you.

15. You have something she wants.

Ask yourself what that person’s life is like.

Maybe she’s struggling to make new friends or got rejected from a university you got a full ride to.

People hit out at other people who have exactly what they want.

16. Your friends notice.

Reach out to your girlfriends—or any other friends—and ask them if they notice anything odd about their behavior.

If they notice the signs of female jealousy, it’s definitely not on your mind.

17. They give insidious compliments.

A safe person wouldn’t make fun of your hot selfies or give you sneaky compliments.

When someone is jealous of you, they enjoy your pain. Don’t let them do that.

Post the selfie anyway.

18. There’s a disapproving look in their eyes every time you speak.

you know the look

It’s almost like she’s going to write off everything you’re going to say before you even say it.

You can tell if a girlfriend is jealous of you, or any friend regardless of their gender, if they stiffen when you speak.

19. She compares herself to you.

Does she measure her successes against yours?

If she can’t stop bringing up your accomplishments to downplay herself, it’s a sign she wishes she had what you have.

20. She admits she’s jealous of you.

Listen to people when they say who you are.

If she jokingly admits that she’s jealous of you, it’s not a joke.

Proceed with caution.

There are a few things you can do if you think another woman is jealous of you.

1. Distance yourself from this person.

If you don’t need to see this person at work or live with them, it can be beneficial to take some distance from them.

You shouldn’t feel pressured to hide your accomplishments or deliberately play dumb so that this person can have a better day.

2. Spend more time with people who support you.

Distancing yourself from someone is a good opportunity to make real connections with other people.

Instead of focusing on the negative, appreciate the positive.

You did yourself a favor by looking for new relationships. Enjoy it!

3. Mute them on social media.

If you see them subtweeting you or trying to get your attention on social media, just do yourself a favor and mute them.

Remember that this is a person who wants to see you spiral, so the spiral will only bring her satisfaction.

4. Laugh with them

If they say something rude to you, just laugh at it. If you take it lightly, they will be confused or embarrassed when they lash out.

5. Avoid being vulnerable towards this person

They just won’t support your achievements. If your partner’s best friend or co-worker is jealous of you, you may not be able to escape their anger as easily as you would like.

However, you can think better about what you want to reveal.

If you win an award for your novel or get a promotion, you don’t need to consult them.

You may find out from other people, but it doesn’t have to be a topic of conversation between the two of you.

If you have a jealous girlfriend, chances are you’ll hear non-stop questions and sometimes accusations about things you don’t even know about. To avoid heated arguments, it’s always good to keep a calm head and try to solve the problem without raising your voice.

It will only make the situation worse if you reach your girlfriend’s energy and get mad at her for being jealous.

2. Don’t be too defensive.

Sometimes you feel bad because of all the questions and accusations. You’ll feel like you haven’t done anything, so defending yourself is spot on. Of course that goes without saying. However, for a girl who is emotionally overwhelmed with jealousy, it just creates the idea that you’ve done something horrible – and that’s why you’re doing your best to get clean.

It’s best to stay calm and just talk to your girlfriend. Let her know that you have nothing to hide and she doesn’t have to do anything.

3. Let her know she’s loved.

One of the many reasons your girlfriend is jealous is because you don’t show her that you love her enough. Do things for her and shower her with your attention so there is no room for jealousy.

When you often appreciate your girlfriend by telling her how beautiful she is or that she cooks so well, she can feel like she’s the most extraordinary woman in the world—especially because those efforts come from the person she is loves.

Sometimes women are jealous because they don’t feel confident or unrecognized. Your role is to make her feel enough by being there for her and making her feel very special, especially when she achieves something big or small.

8. Introduce them to your family and friends.

Suspicion arises when you don’t do what normal couples do in your relationship. An example of this is introducing your girlfriend to your friends.

Finally, be patient. If your girlfriend asks too many questions about small things, be patient enough to answer them. Your girlfriend needs you to have all the patience you can give because she is jealous for a reason. She just wants you to tell her and reassure her that she is good enough and that you love her no matter what.
