In today’s video, I’m going to talk about the number one mental fallacy when it comes to retroactive jealousy.

Read or watch below to discover the number one retroactive jealousy fallacy.

Zachary Stockill: There are so many dangerous mental fallacies that you can buy into when you’re struggling with retroactive jealousy. It can cause you to struggle for months or even years longer than necessary. So many perspectives and faulty logic that you can start buying into that can delay your recovery by months, years, or sometimes even decades.

But in today’s video, I’m going to talk about the most dangerous mental fallacy when it comes to retroactive jealousy.

The term retroactive jealousy basically refers to unwanted intrusive thoughts, often obsessive curiosity. And, what I call mental movies about your partner’s past relationships and or dating/sexual history.

Obviously, when you’re struggling with these symptoms that we associate with retroactive jealousy, it’s easy to lie to yourself. And, it’s easy to lose perspective on what is real, what is not what is important and what is not. This brings me to the topic of today’s video.

I think the number one most dangerous fallacy that too many retroactive jealousy sufferers buy into is the idea that if I’m thinking about something so much, that means it’s important. “If I can’t stop thinking about something, that means it’s significant. If I can’t seem to get certain thoughts out of my head, that just means I should think about them more…”

“..And I’ll arrive at some miraculous conclusion..” As I’ve said, often on my YouTube channel, and I believe in some of my courses as well, stop trying to solve all of your problems with your brain, which is a very strange idea.

But I think if you listen for a few moments longer, you’ll understand what I’m talking about.

When we’re struggling with irrational, constant, obsessive, intrusive thoughts…

It’s all too easy to lose perspective on what is important, what is real, what is significant, and what is not.

And if there’s something that we can’t stop thinking about, there may be a part of us that things “oh, we should think about that more. That must mean that whatever I’m thinking about is super important, super noteworthy, super significant…”

And if you’re struggling with type three retroactive jealousy, which is something similar to OCD, it’s completely illogical and irrational for you to feel like that.

To help illustrate this point. I’m going to draw from a popular example of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

So many OCD sufferers struggle with the thought that they didn’t lock the door at home. So, they leave the house or sometimes they go to bed at night, and there’s this nagging question…

“Did I lock the door? I think I locked the door. Are you sure the door is locked? I’m not sure. Maybe I should go check again…”
