The first step in overcoming jealousy is admitting and accepting your feelings. Denying or ignoring jealousy will only worsen it.

Learn new skills, travel to new places, volunteer for a purpose, or join clubs or groups. These activities will distract you from jealousy and increase your confidence, self-esteem, and happiness.

Talking to someone who understands what you're going through can help feel less lonely and more excited. Consider joining a support group or seeking help from a therapist if necessary.
