Re: major jealousy
You're right. The world is full of attractive people. And I'm especially conscious of it when they live right next door! I guess I have this idea that if we all become good friends the opportunities for cheating increases.
I do define myself overly through the attractiveness factor. I always have had pretty friends, and always compare myself to them and others. I think a lot of my problem has to do with pride. My pride is hurt when someone else is more attractive.
Actually, I asked my fiance what exactly he loves about me. He answered that there were so many things it would be hard to list them all. And if I didn't realize how much he loves me, than I must be really insecure.
He's right, I hate being insecure. I'm about 5lbs over the suggested weight for my height, and that is something I've been working on for a long time to change! He fell in love with me though, and calls me voluptuous and beautiful. I don't want to be voluptuous, I guess. And he does get annoyed that I need reassurances all the time. Or at least, when things like this happen. I do need to learn my own value and love myself, I just wish I knew how to go about it.
Thank you for the post, by the way. It has been very helpful.
