Dealing with Jealous Friends



Friends are important in your life. They make your life much more fun, are great listeners and are always caring towards you, no matter what the situation. But what do you do if you have jealous ones among your group of friends? Their constant nagging bothers you and you want to stop this behavior of theirs, but don’t want to lose your friendship. What to do in that case? Well, that’s why we’ve come up with a few ways to help you in dealing with jealous friends.
1.understandingBefore making accusations on them, be supportive and understand their situation and find out why they are behaving in that particular way. Get to know what they feel.

2. Face it  with them
The best solution would be to talk about the problem that you and your friends are facing. Communication helps out in such situations as you will get to know why they have a problem and then you can make them understand your point of view.

3. Try to feel them secureYour friends will be jealous about some material things that they don’t possess, but you do. It can be jewelry, shoes, bags or your good looks maybe. So talk to them about it and try to make them feel secure and happy about what they have.
4. Get others to help
If you can’t solve your friends’ jealousy problem, then try talking to others and take their perspective to help you out in dealing with the same.

5. Don't Mind
If their behavior and comments frustrate you, just ignore them for sometime. When they see that their nagging makes no difference to you, they may stop it.

6. Work on their confidence
If they are envious about something, then build their self-esteem. You can share where you got the pretty dress from or which beauty parlor you visit so that they have nothing to be jealous about as they can get the same thing for themselves.

7. Last thing just say Goodbye my dear friend!!
This is the toughest thing to do. You have tried all the ways to make your friends feel good about themselves and not to envy you. But if there has been no change in their behavior or they try to harm your reputation then you might as well part ways with them.
