I see through the transparent and cast u to the side like discarded garbage Negropeans only use in war is to be sacrificed We are only concerned with predicting and controlling human behavior. Subjective mental states are not objectively verifiable; only behavior is objectively verifiable. Assumptions about unobservable mental states represent unnecessary hypotheses which contaminate and unnecessarily complicate the behavioral data, which is the only data with which we are concerned. Therefore, we should eliminate all non-behavioral assumptions and subjective observations, if we are to develop a true science of behavior. Jealousy It is very common for people in similar fields to get jealous of each others accomplishments. For example, if youre an actor who just landed a great role, your actor friend is probably going to feel a twinge of jealousy - who wouldnt? This type of jealousy will usually pass fairly quickly. Another common source of jealousy is attention. Your sister might get jealous if youve been spending a lot of time with your new best friend. This type of jealousy is often easy to remedy. Some forms of jealousy run deeper and can take much longer to pass. If the jealous person is having a difficult time, he or she might find it impossible to be happy for you until things are looking up. 2 Put yourself in the other persons shoes. People who are jealous can be hard to be around. Jealousy is a negative emotion that can cause people to cry out for attention and behave in annoying or selfish ways. However, if you want to preserve your relationship with the jealous person, you need to put yourself in that persons shoes. Think about a time when you were jealous. Did you feel powerless? Insecure? Inferior? These are the feelings the jealous person is experiencing, and they arent easy to deal with. Try to approach the situation from an understanding, empathetic point of view.[1] Think about what ultimately made you feel better after a bout of jealousy. Is there a way you can help the jealous person by applying what you learned? 3 Beware manipulative behavior. When jealousy gets out of control, it can lead people to act selfishly to make themselves feel better. The jealous person might try to pit you against someone else, tear you down at work to make you look bad, or subtly wear down your self confidence by being critical and mean. Having empathy is great, but its also important to recognize if youre being harmed by the jealous person, and act accordingly. If you have a jealous significant other, he or she might become controlling. This can quickly get out of hand, so its important to nip this sort of jealousy in the bud as soon as possible. Dealing With It 1 Dont brag about your accomplishments too much. Its possible you are feeding the jealousy by talking up your big raise, or how you aced your finals, or how you have a perfect relationship with your husband. Its perfectly fine to share positive news and achievements with your friends and family, but try not to take it to far. Be sensitive to what is going on in other peoples lives, and if necessary, censor yourself a bit to save their feelings.
