Jelauos

Often we think that what causes jealousy is triggered by external factors. This is a popular mistake. Whilst we are all of course affected one way or another by what we see and hear, the route cause of jealousy is always internal, 100% of the time.

But learning what causes jealousy can be a difficult thing, personally, but there is a systematic approach to learning why you feel the way you do.There are many things that cause jealousy and as many people have discovered often when it's too late to fix it, the cure is not going to happen externally.

The intensity of jealousy differs according to the situation
If you hate someone, you'll be most likely to bemore jealous of him upon him achieving. If you don’t hate him so much then chances are the degree of these jealous feelings will be less intense. On the other hand, if it's someone you like who's managed to highly achieve, then you're not likely to feel jealous at all even if he's achieved higher than you have.
