A little jealousy is inherent in almost all romantic relationships.

However, as ADVICE.NEWS reports, sometimes this feeling can become a real problem.

In this article we will tell you why jealousy towards another person may arise.

Why does jealousy arise?

The most common reasons are lack of self-confidence and lack of trust in the partner.

If a person has low self-esteem, he is unable to feel worthy of a partner and valuable in a relationship.

Therefore, lack of confidence in one’s own strength and attractiveness causes jealousy and thoughts about a third, more “worthy” person.

Another reason for jealousy may be some signs of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Obsessive thoughts about what the partner is doing involuntarily come into a person’s head.

Then strong anxiety and jealousy arise.

Additionally, jealousy is often present in those who exhibit some paranoid personality traits.

However, it is not necessarily a disorder.
