Jealousy can be used as a manipulative tool in relationships, especially by those exhibiting narcissistic traits. They might create imaginary rivals to provoke insecurity and maintain control over their partner or others. This tactic fosters doubt and anxiety, keeping the focus on competition rather than genuine connection. Understanding this dynamic helps in recognizing unhealthy patterns and reclaiming emotional freedom. 💡🛑 #NarcissisticAbuse #EmotionalControl #MentalHealthAwareness
