I have a friend who gets really jealous?

Question

I have a best friend who will get really jealous of me. She is always saying how horrible her life is and mine is so great (it isn't!) and she often comments on how much more smart I am then her, even though I point out thats just in that subject, she's a million times better at math then I am. We both write a lot and she shares her stories (which are great) and I feel like I can't share mine or she might get jealous, which makes me feel horrible. Its really uncomfortable and makes me feel restrained, like I can't do stuff without feeling that I'll make her feel bad. What do I do?

Answer 1

try commenting her on how great her life is. ? but if that doesnt work you have to tell her straight up.you shouldnt be uncomfortable and restrained. just do it. what if that jealousy becomes obsessed. so tell her how. not really blunt though. indirect approach. " your stories are great too" and just talk about how good it is.
