They say that jealousy is human, but is it good or bad? We give you the reasons but you decide.
All of us, at some point in our lives, have felt jealousy, however, it is frowned upon to admit it, because generally are associated with an immature personality and lack of confidence in oneself. However, many psychologists think differently, because, apparently, we are jealous by nature.
According to the psychologist André Didyme-Dome, jealousy, from the ethological point of view (since animals also feel it) are related to the instinct of preservation of the species. We are programmed for the species to continue and to do so in the best way.
In man it has to do with his genes, with the territorial instinct and competition. Y in the woman they point to no other taking away her fertile manbecause when the ideal candidate is presented, they all want him to be the father of their children.
Eye, the specialist clarifies that all this is at the biological level, in the human being the culture complicates it even more. So some degree of jealousy is normal, but is it good or bad? Depends. According to different authors, jealousy could be good for the couple, but bad for women.
In what context can jealousy be good? In fact, the doctor in psychology María Martina Casullo, from the University of Buenos Aires, carried out a study on the subject years ago and concluded that moderate jealousy serves as a defense and protection mechanism for the couple.
Be careful though, because jealousy can be especially damaging to you. The University of Gothenburg (Sweden) conducted a study lasting almost 40 years, which concluded that women who are jealous and often distressed in midlife may be at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
So, in couple matters, It’s okay to be a little jealous, but don’t take it to heart! Try not to think about that (just the same, if they want to put the horns on you, they put them on you) and if you catch him, send him to chop cane instead of being jealous! Well, what do you get out of that other than getting sick in the head ?
