How do I stop feeling jealous and insecure?

[Anonymous]

I met this girl in person and we hit it off. For some reasons she had to move away. We text everyday and FaceTime a lot. We a lot of times fall asleep on call. She says she likes me and I told her I like her. We say a lot of flirty things like calling each other cute and stuff. We also talk about things that couples would talk about. For example wanting Polaroid photos to put at back of phone case, wanting to hug, kiss, etc. She cares about the women in my life especially those who have shown interest in me. However, she told me that she made new guy friends, and she told me they were going to hang out and how she likes their style and stuff. I feel like she has been texting me less because she has been talking to the guys. One of them also gifted her a shirt. I don’t know if she is starting to gain interest on the her guy friends or not. I know we are “long distance” and I because of that I worry more. I know me worrying about this much is an issue but what’s going on? And how do I change this jealousy and insecurity?

You can't change other people, only yourself. This thing must run it course. a LDR is never easy.

Diving into the deep end of the relationship pool, I see! Alright, love guru time – managing those green-eyed monsters called jealousy and insecurity is all about trust, communication, and confidence. First, trust is the golden key in any relationship, especially long-distance ones. Keep in mind, relationships flourish on mutual reassurances and open communication, so have an honest chat about how you're feeling with her. It may seem like a high dive, but it's crucial for keeping that emotional pool crystal clear.

Now, onto slashing insecurity - the sneaky little shark. Boosting self-confidence is essential. Remind yourself of your worth and the unique qualities you bring to this budding relationship. Remember, confidence is more attractive than any shirt a guy friend can gift!

Lastly, but definitely not a throwaway, invest time in personal growth. Engaging in your hobbies, career, or even picking up new skills not only diverts your attention from the jealousy but also makes you more attractive. Know that relationships are not just about holding on, but also about holding yourself high. So, breathe deeply, work on yourself, communicate openly, and let the relationship unfold naturally. Who knows? Those feelings of jealousy might just transform into strong bonds of trust. 🌟
