Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
Do you think over confident people can be jealous?? My boyfriend is too confident in himself, knows he could get any girl..... and that if I left him he could easily find someone else. But he acts like he is jealous or something sometimes. I wonder if that is part of the reason he is mean sometimes because he is jealous, or would be jealous if someone else was to be interested in me. It would just be so unlike him to me if he was jealous. Do you think it is possible that he acts the way he does because he is jealous or because that is just the way he is???? Because if I were an over confident person I dont think I would get jealous
Don't be fooled, sometimes when someone acts over confident they are really trying to hide their insecurities and will be jealous because they are afraid you'll find someone better then they are because they really don't have a good self image of themselves. Anyone can get any girl or guy it is keeping them what counts. What may look good on the outside isn't always so great in the inside. I know I have been there, don't allow anyone to be mean, it only get worst. My loving husband grabbed me by the throat last Aug and told me he HATED me. It used to be he'd shove me up against something a hold me there making me listen to him, I didn't realize that was abuse only because I grew up being abused by both parents...please watch for red flags, being mean and jealous are 2 flags
Oh, and on a side note... over confidence is foolhardy, will cause one to make mistakes. confidence is knowing who you are and what you can and can't do... confidence is good. Over-confidence is not.
Keep the circle of love flowing and the intellect...
yall are some smart chicks
His arrogance covers his insecurities, his jealousy is actually control. He glosses it up a little differently, but all of us here have seen it so often and so long that we can recognize it.
If this is "just the way he is" it is unacceptable.
Be strong, stay in touch.
