Hi all,

I believe I have an anxiety issue, but am not really sure what it is. Perhaps it is more of a low self-esteem thing? Here are a few examples of situations that I have trouble dealing with:

1 - I used to coach a certain sport with another instructor. I would sometimes feel that the kids would like the other person more than me.

2 - I get a bit jealous when my in-laws come to town and spend time with my daughter. I know this is wrong, but I feel like they are almost trying to get her to love them more than me. I know it sounds crazy, but it is what it is.

3 - At work I sometimes get jealous and feel that my opinion is not needed or wanted. For instance, I get along really well with my boss who is a woman (i'm male) and we work on quite a few of the same projects. I will sometimes get jealous if she has meeting with others that I work with. I have no idea why, but I almost feel like i'm missing out on some attention or something important when I am excluded from things. This then leads to me believing that she likes my other co-workers more. Normally this shouldn't bother me (i'm married), but for whatever reason with her it does.

Anyway I know this is not much to go on, but I feel like I have some issues that I need to work out. Appreciate any advice. Thanks!
