My friend and i are both in theater arts, and she got the role i wanted, and i tried not to be jealous of her, but i am. i know she's really good, and deserves the part, but i get mad at her whenever she brings it up, because shes almost bragging. I just really wanted the part, and now she thinks im mad at her, and i guess i kinda am. wat can i do?

It's ok if your jealous of your friend. We all do it at some point or another. You should tell your friend how you feel and tell her how you were kinda jealous that she got the part and you didn't. I'm sure she will understand! good luck

You need to tell her straight up that whenever she talks about it it makes you feel bad because you wanted that part so you need to tell her or ask her to try to stop talking about it

Well don't be mad at her just because she got the part you wanted. The teacher/choreographer decided to give it to her. It was out of her control. But if you really think she's bragging when she talks about it, tell her how you feel. Tell her that you really wanted that part and that you'd rather her not talk about it around you. Don't let something like that get in the way of a good friendship. :)

This same thing happened to me, except me and my friend were already fighting alot anyways, and her bragging was the last straw so i know how it feels. Just think of it this way, at least she got the part instead of someone that you know doesn't deserve it. Give her tips on what she's doing wrong and how she can get over stage fright(if she has it). Your teacher or whoever is running the play will notice that you are very kind and helpful, and they probably can tell that you really did want that part. Don't give up theater just because you didnt get your dream part! In the meantime, ask her not to bring it up, because you were really hoping to get the part-- who knows, maybe she will know how you're feeling! hope i helped ya

Dont be mad at her for her talent. But maybe if she didnt try out in the first place doesnt neccesarily mean that you'd still get the part. And if you arent the back up of that role then you werent going to be picked anyways. Just keep trying out for more plays and you'll eventually get to the part you want! good luck!

There's nothing really you can do. Don't tell her you're jealous because she didn't do anything wrong. If you're not worried about losing her you could ask her not to talk about it infront of you. And I'm sure she's not bragging! She doesn't know you're upset about it. So yeah, I'd just keep it on the downlow until the play or whatever has passed and you can move on from it.

You're just going to have to get over it. Explain to her that you are jealous of her so it's an instinct to kind of snap at her. Also, explain that you don't want to be mad at her, but you just kind of are and it would be best if you didn't talk about the part. She should understand and stop talking about the part so that you can get over it.

get over it. and when you are ready to be mature about this you should apologize to her for being a jealous, selfish bitch about the whole thing and then you give her congrats! on getting the part.

Tell her you think you're jealous of her because she got the role you wanted and ask her not to bring it up. Then after the play is over, congratulate her on doing a good job. (and if she sucked, don't tell her, just laugh secretly in your mind... or just still congratulate her) Soon it will be over and won't matter anymore. I'm in theatre arts, and our final exam is doing a play, I'm in a group of four, and I am not the best of actors, I used to be, but it's been about 2 years so I'm just getting into the hang of doing this again. Well the part I wanted and knew I could do well was given to a different girl in the group. But she's doing really good with it, and I'm doing pretty good with my role (It has less lines to remember!!!) so all is good. Most friends get mad at their friends is a friend says that they are jealous, but most likely everone on this site is jealous of one of their friends, I know I am. So just tell her you're kind of feeling jealous that she got that role, and ask her to try not to talk about it a lot, because even though she might not be, she sounds like she's bragging. Hope I've helped!

Tell her how you feel- that way she should shut up. I used to feel the same way about this dance class, I didn't get the place I wanted but my friend got it, I was so disappointed and hated her when she brought it up. Even now a year after it happened its still a touchy subject. She just doesn't talk about it and we get over it. Just tell her how you feel and she will get the message. Shes' not trying to spite you shes just happy about getting the part and its forming probabley a big part in her life at the moment. But you just can't do anything about that except tell her to shut up. If you can't do that, give her some subtle hints that you don't want to talk about it. If she brings it up- change the subject.
It'd be easier just to tell her to stop it- and she will, she will think about your feeligns and stop talking about it. Soon it will be a distant memory and you will have lots of other parts you can have, but in the meantime keep your mind on other things- other things you could achieve with your spare time

just tell her how you feel and she will understand and she will stop bragging. and if she does not stop bragging then just give her the silent treatment. hope I helped!!

All you need to do is talk to her about it and tell her how you feel. Congratulate her so that she knows how much you care. I role in theater shouldn't ruin a perfect friendship.

i am sure she isn't bragging you just think she is bragging...cause i bet she is really excited about it...my only suggestion is this... jealousy is sometimes a good thing cause without jealousy how else would we strive to do better... so i say it is ok to be jealous but DON't LET IT RUIN YOUR RELATIONSHIP... because after your theater act if over you two are gonna be close whether she had this part or you had this part... besides be happy you got a part... so basically it is ok to be jealous just don't let it get to you and don't let it ruin your relaionship because that is what you don't want NO MATTER WHAT!!!
hope i helped

All you can try to do is get over it. sry if it sounds harsh, but tough cookies!LOL. Just talk to her about it. There will be other roles, and other plays. Ask her not to bring it up because it makes you feel bad, and if shes really ur friend, she probably wont. And its not her fault for getting the part. just work harder next time. it might not even be you. it could just be that she had the right "look". Hope i helped!
