Research Explains the Psychology of Narcissists, Codependents & Jealousy (Men vs. Women - The differences in the psychology of jealousy as it relates to toxic relationships) Why Do Narcissists Try to Make You Jealous? Toxic people have a way of trying to make you jealous in your relationships. And of course, if you have a difficult time dealing with jealousy in relationships, it’s important to identify the cause as early as possible so you know how to handle it. As someone who has struggled with codependency with a narcissist, you might find that, whether you're feeling jealous in your current relationship or you're feeling jealous of the narcissist's new supply, it can help to really wrap your head around the psychology of jealousy and narcissism (or people who have or may have narcissistic personality disorder) I'm sharing 3 research studies that feature conclusions by psychologists and that will support every point I'm making here.

Remember: narcissists put your jealousy to good use. They need you to feel jealous because the way you react gives them the fuel they need to continue their typical cycle of love bombing, devaluing, discard and hoovering.

Narcissists always try to make you jealous to control you and to cause you to feel more insecure in your relationship .. but these jealousy games do not work on people with healthy boundaries. That's because narcissists are masters at creating illusionary situations to make you feel insecure about yourself so you won't feel like you can do any better, to put it mildly.
