Your Type
When jealous, you deliberately close the distance with your partner, transforming your envy into praise and covering that hint of reluctance with doubled support. This behavior of "packaging jealousy with excessive friendliness" actually masks your deep fear of "admitting your dark side and ruining the relationship"; you fear that showing the hostility of jealousy will make you an "unlovable, unkind" person, so you use "people-pleasing and over-giving" to prove you are still a perfect partner. But suppressing true negative emotions long-term makes your love heavy and lack authenticity. Try allowing yourself to show a little capriciousness or coquetry to your partner next time you feel sour; when you learn to accept your not-so-magnanimous side, your love can have room to breathe.
