Although, It’s best to personally detach yourself from anything that will initiate negative thoughts in your life, some people still thrive upon jealousy.

It’s quite unfortunate that such people will go out of their way to inflict unnecessary stress upon themselves by allowing  jealousy dictate their lives.

Here are N-K's Top 5 Reasons Why jealousy go kill you if you don’t start respecting yourself.

You can’t mind your business

Whether it be within your family, workplace or friends, there are always those certain people who can never just keep to themselves and mind their own business.

Their eyes are always wide open, ears opened, and mouths sharpened and ready to spread the latest gist. If they have no one to talk about, gossip or rumor to spread, they are never at rest.

Constantly comparing yourself to others

No two people will ever be the same. The person you admire, draw inspiration from, or envy is not you and can never be you! Everyone’s blessings come at different times, and for different reasons.

The more you compare yourself to someone, the more negative you will be; not only to yourself, but to the people around you. It puts a sour taste in your mouth and will show in your attitude.

Lack of faith

I’m not just talking about faith in a higher being, I’m talking about faith in yourself. When you’re jealous, you lack self-motivation and encouragement. Your focus on others makes you doubt yourself and hinders you from reaching your full potential.

Time that you should be spending on discovering yourself, passion and building up your courage is spent picking at other people’s lives and experiences.

Holding on to past issues

A lot of times, jealousy stems from holding onto past grudges, arguments and misunderstandings that occurred in the past. Due to all these undesirable feelings, you find yourself getting displeased, angry and frustrated easily.

Peer pressure

There’s always going to be that person or group of people who continuously hound for information, want to show off and can’t keep quiet around you.

They will spread negative vibes and try to advise you with their bad character. You have to do your best to ignore them and not be provoked by their actions or comments.
