okey pipol, can u tell me how do you deal with jealousy?

jealousy might as well be my middle name, and i’m terrible at hiding it.. i won’t say it out loud, but yeah.. it kinda shows. i never really have the right words for this kinda question anyway, but maybe i’ll just hold it in till i lose my shit and finally say it... if i could.. :c

My first and most important step is always to communicate with my partner. I won't keep it to myself and I will explain exactly what made me feel jealous.

I usually say it right away, if the setting feels right. Tapi, semisal nggak, akan aku manage sendiri; ingat bahwa aku nggak bisa mengontrol orang dan nggak semua hal akan selalu berjalan sesuai mauku. Last resourcenya rants ke teman dan minta ditampar pakai petuah deh. Kata-kata hari ini, Kak Gem? “Yang bukan siapa-siapa, dilarang cemburu, ya”. 😁

I rarely get jealous, but I tend to just tell them directly when I start feeling that way.

I can't deal with jealousy, honestly. I will, always, tell what I feel to my partner if I'm jealous. After hear some explanation, if that make sense in my head, I will in ease and if not, will watching the gesture.

It’s totally normal to feel jealous sometimes. I just try to talk about it or journal instead of letting it build up. Being honest with yourself really helps. But hold on, sweetie, do you mean jealousy in relationships or the kind you feel when someone’s living your dream life? That could be different…

As someone who gets jealous easily, if someone tries to get with my partner I’d whoop their ass! ..naah, jk haha. I tend to talk it out and set boundaries. If someone still messes with my lover, then I’ll fight. 💥

To be honest I usually just let myself feel it for a bit, then remind myself that it’s normal. Jealousy happens, but I try not to let it control me.
