The definition of jealousy is anger caused by the fear of being replaced or not totally possessing someone. Jealousy, despite what it is believed, is not a sign of love, but rather a sign of insecurity. Jealousy is born from the little security and confidence we have in ourselves. This causes us to think, consciously or unconsciously, that our partner cannot be alone with us, because we are not enough for him or her. We also think that if our partner approaches another person, that person will be better than us and our partner will leave us. Here begins the doubts and uncertainty about a possible infidelity. Therefore, the concern of a jealous person is based more on his self-esteem and belief system than on the behavior of his partner.Jealousy can be very damaging to both yourself and your relationship. For this reason, in Psychology-Online, we have created aJealousy test to check if you are a jealous person. In the results of this psychological test you will find strategies according to your case. This jealousy test is completely free, online and immediate.
The results obtained in these tests are indicative, since the diagnosis must always be made by a professional psychologist.
