Your Type
When jealous, you immediately switch to rational mode, calmly analyzing why you are jealous and where the threat lies, then trying to find a solution. This "defense mechanism of over-relying on logical analysis" actually reflects your underlying anxiety about "out-of-control emotional fluctuations"; you fear that falling into irrational emotions will make you seem vulnerable, pathetic, or lose control, so you use "calm analysis" to establish an emotional safe distance. But treating all emotions as math problems to be solved makes you ignore the true feelings that most need to be caught in a relationship. Try allowing yourself to just be a normal person who gets angry and cares for three minutes next time jealousy strikes; when you learn to embrace your imperfect emotions, you can experience the true warmth of love.
