Digital Jealousy Loop - Sometimes a relationship does not get damaged because of one big fight. It starts with something very small. One night, a person is scrolling through Instagram and sees that their partner liked someone’s photo. At first, they tell themselves, “It’s okay, it’s just a like.” But then the mind starts asking questions: “Why did they like this photo? Are they talking to this person? Am I not enough?” Then they check the person’s profile, then their partner’s followers, then old comments, then online status. For a few minutes, checking feels like reassurance. But slowly, it becomes a loop. The more they check, the more insecure they feel. The more insecure they feel, the more they check. In psychology, this is connected to social media jealousy and electronic partner surveillance. Recent research suggests that social media jealousy can lead to more online monitoring of a partner, and over time, this is linked with lower relationship satisfaction. The problem is not only the phone. The problem is that the nervous system is trying to feel safe through control. Research Sources Métellus, S., Vaillancourt-Morel, M.
