Hi guys! So, basically, this rant is in TagLish(English plus Tagalog). Filipino is my mothertongue, so for all my readers who are not Filipino, I'm sorry guys. I just feel like this rant should have a bit of Tagalog. I would translate it, but it's just that there are some terms in my language that cannot be translated into English. Apologies, guys. Please don't bomb my house. Hahaha.
the good: natural jealousy
Completely normal lang kung nagseselos ka. Jealousy in the right doses can be just the perfect wake-up call sa relationship niyo kung feel mo na parang nagiging boring na yung flow ng feelings niyo. If you or your guy have mild jealousy attacks, such as when his ex is in town or kung may kasama kang lalaki sa barkada mo, take it as a cue to make the other feel more secure and special. Sa mga girls diyan, kung feel niyo na you need to get some of 'em vibes going, pwede lang na you spice up your relationship a notch by making him a bit jealous. Admit it, it's cute seeing him na nagseselos trying hard to catch your attention! Pero, kailangan nacocontain din yang pagkakaselos. Never miss the chance to make your guy feel like there's no one else like him. Remember, jealousy in the RIGHT DOSES is okay.
the bad: persistent jealousy
Alam mo na you have a bad case of jealousy when you get jealous all the time. Your feelings could have many triggers: kung nababanggit yung ex niya, a sexy billboard with his favorite supermodel, his pretty kabarkada, or anything that makes you worry you could lose him. Persistent jealousy could lead to ugly trust issues. While pwede lang yung natural jealousy, nagiging unhealthy na yung grabeng pagseselos over things na hindi pa naman confirmed. A conversation with a bestie could help this problem.
the ugly: irrational jealousy
Girls, wag na ipaabot yung pagseselos mo sa ganitong level. Jealousy this ugly isn't based on any real threat - you see red every time your man so much as turns his head. Nagiging ganito ka na, "Who is he looking at? Her? Oh my God! He is so much taller than me! He's gonna leave me talaga, I know it!" Sounds familiar? Listen to yourself. Ilagay mo ang sarili mo sa posisyon niya. What you're really saying is, "I'm not good enough for him, so of course he's looking for someone else." Rather than blaming other girls, or even your guy, you blame yourself for being unlovable. Girls, alam ko na may mga moments lang talaga na we feel overly conscious or insecure of ourselves. Pero gather up naman din some self-esteem! Ikaw nga yung pinili niya eh, so 'bat ka pa kailangan magduda? Magduda ka kung may kutob ka na he's cheating on you. Pero kung nagiging irrational na yung pagseselos mo, it becomes unhealthy for your relationship. In the end, hindi yung other girl ang maghihiwalay sa inyo, kundi yung grabe mong pagseselos sa wala. Love yourself, especially those little things that make you you, because those are the reasons that your man fell for you and chose you.
