I have a friend, Lauren, who kept comparing her friend, Maddie, to me a while back - February, I think it was. She kept saying how much alike we were and that we should meet. Now that I've known Maddie and her best friend Christine for a while and the three of us have become great friends, Lauren has begun acting jealous. Maddie, Chris, and I keep wondering what we need to do about it, but we can't decide. We all knew it would happen, but... shouldn't Lauren learn to share her friends?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
she should share her friends and everything, but don't leave her out all of the time or anything like that. after all there is three of you who are doing stuff and shes the only one being discluded. i relize you may want to do things the 3 of you sometimes but don't always leave her out. She was your friend before you met maddie and chris, don't you want to keep it that way? you're right about the thing where she should share things, but maybe try to get together the 4 of you more. and remember if you guys don't think that you would act the same way if you guys were in her shoes, remember that everyone is different and everyone reacts to certain things differently! hope i helped & please rate!

I think you should pay extra attention to her. Never leave her side, ever!!
An honest answer? Yes she should. But if you want to remain close, you should try to do something. It's very common for people to feel left out. It's a strange feeling, to feel that you wouldn't be missed if you weren't even there. Or that you aren't missed if you're not. Talking to her would be about the worst thing you could do. It's extremely uncomfortable when those types of conversations surface. My advice to you is to keep her involved in your converations. If you see her get bored, try to incorporate her in the topic at hand. If you guys spend a lot of time with each other and not with her, try to include her more. If she still feels jealous, then at least you gave it your best shot. In the end that's all you can do.
