Jealousy takes root in the soil of insecurity.
Insecurity refers to a profoud sense of self-doubt-a deep feeling of uncertainty about our basic worth and our place in the world. Insecurity is associated with chronic self-consciousness, along with a chronic lack of confidence in ourselves and anxiety about our relationships. The insecure man or woman lives in constant fear of rejection and a deep uncertainty about whether his or her own feelings and desires are legitimate.
Insecurity's best cover is perfectionism. That's where it becomes an art form.

Insecurity is at the heart of every rivalry.
