Jealousy is a universal emotion—uncomfortable, complex, and often misunderstood. In this episode of The Psychology of Us with Professor RJ Starr, we explore the roots of jealousy, from its evolutionary origins as a survival mechanism to its manifestations in today’s modern, comparison-driven world. Learn how cultural norms, attachment styles, and social media influence jealousy and why it affects our relationships, self-esteem, and mental health.
But jealousy doesn’t have to be destructive. With insights from psychology, case studies, and personal anecdotes, this episode offers tools to manage jealousy through self-awareness, resilience, and stronger connections. Join Professor Starr for a thoughtful, relatable, and empowering conversation on how to turn jealousy into a force for growth and self-discovery.
