I get jealous of my friends.. having other friends!?

Question

Does anyone feel this way at all? Like seeing on myspace your friends in pictures with other people. Its like.. why didn't you invite me? Or.. don't you like me anymore? Or I just hate hearing that my best mate's been out with someone else and had a ball. Its like.. where was my invite? I dunno its just like a rivalry for friendship kinda thing and I dunno what makes me feel this way. I've always been like this with best friends. Am I too possesive?

Answer 1

I did all along when younger ! I mean lots and lots, i got so

fed up with people.  Listen looking back i think , you have to

realise , your the leader !  [took me ages] don't wait for someone

to call you ! invite you ! .....you don't need them, if thats their

game, [believe me it gets worse] .

Just spend more time making .............................

new friends of your own and constantly keep yourself busy, with

meeting other people.  For instance if one friend does not get

into going to the beach / or going to movies, then do other things

with them, but find someone else who DOES do the things you

like and don't let anyone stop you from doing it.

My , loyalty to one group of people got me nowhere, exept

simular frustrations, to yours , i finaly realised when i had

children that they just did not care for me the same way.

It could also be petty jealousy,  so find other friends !

Answer 2

wow i feel like that all the time. especially lately. it's is really hard to deal with but it's either, you deal with it or you just cut off the friendship. there isn't really a good way out. but this has happened to me a lot but i'm trying to learn to be okay with it and realizing that my friends don't need to invite me everyone. of course, it would be nice but what can you do? ya know? you could always confront them too. if you want to. i mean i've tried to but it didn't do much good.

so hopefully everything works out better for you!

Answer 3

don't you have other friends as well?  Maybe you could become friends with these other people.

Answer 4

No! actually I like some space u know so that we have something to talk about the next time we see each other.

And maybe you are just a tad possessive  

Answer 5

Don't be jealous - if your friend has other friends,chances are that you could become friends with those other friends making your circle of friends even wider.Its a good thing - so take advantage of it ! I met some of my best buddies through other friends and my social life is so much richer now than before.

Answer 6

I know exactly what you're talking about! It happens to me at least every single day. I just deal with it though,nobody can really give out to their friends for having other friends... it could cause arguements and for you to lose a friend... just bare with it for a while and if it keeps getting worse say something like that you don't feel close to your friends anymore or that you just feel like you're being left out of things.. then your friends will make a little more effort i think!

Answer 7

if you're friends having a new friends and they forgot you "IT'S NOT A TRUE FRIENDSHIP"but if they want to have a new friend and they didn't forget they still you're friend.it's a true friendship.........and i think you are too possessive  because if you love you're friends you have a loyalty too you're friends.............but if you don't have loyalty to them that's not a true friendship..............

HOPE IT HELPS YOU...................!!!!GOD BLESS!!!!^_^

Answer 8

Yes,

Its natural to feel a little jelous, but remenber you have probley done this a dozon time to other friends, who may have thought that they were closer to you than you may have thought.

However concentrate on being a good friend!

Listen to your friends, be a source of fun, happiness draws people to you.

Be confident, not overly opinionated or bitchy about others.

Be possitive not negitive. GL

Answer 9

You are insecure and possessive.

Answer 10

hey,i don't feel like that.the one who feels like that is the other best friend of my best friend.she thinks i'm stealing her attention and that she hangs out with me more.i mean it's not my fault.she gets jealous everytime.and personally,i'm getting anoyed at it.

Answer 11

I think you just have a high expectation to your mate about your friendship and she didn't meet it.

Answer 12

i get like that too. but you just have to kind of deal with it. you could do the same thing so they know what if feels like. that might sound mean but at least your not getting the short stick cuz a bunch of people feel this way.
