Do you get jealous with the friends of your bestfriend?

I sometimes got jealous with the friends of my best friend, knowing that they've known each other for 10 years already and we for 3 years still..as if i have to struggle to equate the gap i have with them. And they share more interest things than we do.

I don't have a best friend to feel jealous of, but does anyone else get jealous of their siblings spending a lot of time with their friends? I have that problem.

I also feel the way you do when my closest friends got new friends. I think its just normal to feel jealous if your friend has other friends, because we don't want them to be taken away from us.

Yes,I got jealous too when i saw my best friend with their old friends as I'm quite possessive person,but then i think that something is more good in me that's why he/she is my best friend.and about knowing eachother for years then it's does not actually matter because sometime we meet a person for a short time but then also we feel that we know them for years.

I know how that feels. I don't really have a best friend, only a few friends. What makes me feel sad is when I'm out of place, like when they talk like I'm not present and I couldn't chime in their conversation. It feels horrible. I am a very silent person so usually in those cases I shut up naturally. But trust me, it also feels bad to be the victim of that jealousy. Back in high school, I would always cry because of the EXTREME jealousy of my friend. She wasn't even my best friend. Let's just say that the feeling wasn't mutual, lol. She treated me like the best friend of her life to the point that she got overly selfish. We were nine in a circle of friends, and believe me, just me talking to one of my other friends already freaked her out. I was very sensitive so I was the one who noticed that behavior.

I dont know if its just me or what but i do get jealous most of the time too. Its like im too selfish that i want all my bestfriends attention are just mine lol. Maybe thats the reason why my bestfriend and i had a fight lately.But ideally we should not be feeling that way, just like we are our friends have their own world to fit in too. We should try to respect this world as much as we can ;)

i feel the same way too. i like my bestfriend to stick with me at all times. i start to get jealous if she's going to be with her friends..but on the other hand, i must accept the fact that she has to be with them too.
