Do you have a posessive friend?

I used to have a friend like that. She was super jealous whenever I talked to another really close friend of mine. They weren't particularly fond of each other but the other friend of mine didn't have any problems with me having the jealous friend as a friend. One day we got into a huge fight over me being friends with the other girl and we ended our friendship. I have talked to her once or twice since then (that happend 13 years ago!). I am still friends with the friend that wasn't jealous.

Thank for for your question. I do not a posessive friend instead, I was a possessive friend. After years of being with friends, I think I have grown up in many ways. My best friend was a wonderful person who helped me in varied ways. We had such great times together. She was very mature, understanding and very patient with me. I appreciate her all the more for the way she taught me things (like an elder sister) and the fun times that we shared together. Do encourage your friend to make new friends (maybe her own set of friends), to develop new hobbies and help her to grow. Likewise, she also should help you to grow as a person. It might be helful if you could continue to try to give her some assurance and appreciation so that she will realize that you still value her friendship and that she is still your best friend even when you go out with other friends. I understand that you need to have your own space and she needs hers (whether she realizes it or not). There is also a time for honest talks. You might like to share your feelings with her and help her to understand the dynamics of friendship. Take care!

Oh, I've had a friend like that! It eventaully ended up driving us apart. She was a close friend, but not my best friend, ya know? She was always super jealous anytime my best friend called or came to see me at college, or if we went out together. I tried to make equal time for both of them, but apparently that wasn't good enough. We still see each other on occassion, but there is definitely tension there. I just wish she hadn't been so childish because she was a good friend when she wasn't being posessive of me.

I don't have a possessive friend at this time, but I have in the past. It was actually very irritating. She didn't want to hang out very often cause she was always with her boyfriend, but would make lil comments when I hung out with someone else. It was kinda funny if you ask me. Eventually we just kinda grew apart. i still talk with her every once in awhile. It's better off us just being occasional friends.
