The objective of my question is not what I should do regarding to a
specific life situation but what I should do with my habits that I
consider a negative habit in a healthy living lifestyle.

I am 22 years old, and I think I have come along way toward self
improvement. I used to be:
-Shine
-Slightly depressed and feel low
-Hate to exercise
-Eat bad food
-Play game
-Hate reading
-Watch TV
-Lazy
-Angry
-No friends

But now, after knowing and reading about successful people, I improved
myself to become a more ?round? person. Instead of the list above, I
become:

-Not shine anymore
-Moderately to high self confidence
-More exercise
-Read some newspaper
-Read book
-Study hard
-Less TV, no more games
-Go out and enjoy life outside living room
-Make friends
-Very patience
-Active and energetic
-Honest and high integrity
-Like to help other people for no return because it feels good
-Involve in community

I would say I am quite proud of my progress. However, there are some
identified, although may not be complete or correct, characters that I
have a hard time to get over with. I will list them with a specific
example. The objective of this question is how could I improve or get
rid of these habits:

1)	Jealousy
2)	Feeling not being attractive
3)	Feeling of too young
4)	Over-imagination

Situation: I just broke up with a long 6 years relationship few months
ago. Apparently, the girl just went off with another guy. The reason
is that I am ?too young? and ?he is more match with me.? And in the
past few months, I like couple of other girls (they all about my age);
however, none of them like me. The reason: I am too young for them.
But I also personally feel that I am just not being attractive for
some unknown reason. Or is it a plain coincident that I happen to meet
to a similar age group partner?

So in the last few weeks, I like another girl. I did not tell her that
I like her because I can tell from the way she speaks and from her
body language, and I prefer to keep our relationship as good friend.
However, other guys are always attracted to her. I think there are
about almost 4 different guys already in the past few weeks! And I
thought, she isn?t the most beautiful girl, and she is very neat and
conservative, but how come people like her so much but not me? What is
wrong with me? And I always felt so jealous when I saw her in contact
with some other guys. And I wish I am older, yet I enjoy my age now
because I can show to people that I am very competitive even though I
am young.

And after I saw her in contact with another guy, my imagination would
go ?wild.? I don?t like this character too.

I read many messages in Google, and I always try to remind myself that
this isn?t something wrong with me. It is a habit of human.

I broke up with 6 years relationship, and believe me, I thought I am
going to ?die?, but I got through. I KNOW I can get through these
feelings, but sometimes it drains away my energy to do something else.
I want to lower it or be stronger.

Can you help? I am looking forward for a specific technique to lower
these bad characters or get rid of it.

I always thought I would not have these feeling AT ALL if I can find
myself a girlfriend. However, I believe that is not the right solution
because it means I find a girlfriend to prove that I am attractive and
not because some other valid reasons of why people become partner. But
then the paradox is that I can?t ?seem? to find one even if you
challenge me to!

HI 2006person,
Good user name:  look to the future, you are young.

This is just a free comment, not an "answer" to your question, which
only a G-A Researcher can post (the folks with blue names).

It seems that you have spent all your adult social life in one stable
relationship, which is very unusual  - and good, in itself -  but you
missed out on the experiences that most late teens have with being
rejected and starting over; learning experiences about themselves and
others.
You are right in your last paragraph, the solution is not:
"... it means I find a girlfriend to prove that I am attractive."

It is the other way:  you are attractive by doing well what you like
to do, especially if you are helpful in a social environment
(something you mentioned:  "-Like to help other people for no return
because it feels good
-Involve in community"). 
When you are doing something you truly enjoy with other people, you
gain self-confidence, share interests, and meet people who share
yours, a good way to find new friends  - including girls -  who will
find you interesting and attractive.
I hope so.  Good luck, Myoarin

That is a REALLY, nice and correct way to put it. I found that very
helpful and inspiring.

I am totally agreed that I was too long in a stable relationship.
Thank you for pointing that out also.
