My best friend and I have been friends for about 8 years and we go together like pb and j. Now I'm starting to feel jealous of her because she's got a lot more friends than me and I think she's a lot prettier and skinnier and funnier and all that. I KNOW she won't abandon me no matter how many other friends she has, but I just hate being jealous.

Just make sure you maintane your anger, and don't say anything out of line, because you don't want to lose a friend like that. Not many girls are worth keeping as friends these days, and when you find one it`s very rare. When you feel jealous, try secretly writing a list about all the things you like about yourself. That should make you feel better about yourself. [ xASK_MEAGHANx's advice column | Ask xASK_MEAGHANx A Question ]

cokecap_x21 answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 9:26 pm: Ahh i felt the SAME WAY!! just become friends with her friends and you'll be funny and cool. Do NOT try to turn her friends agianst her. Thats the worst. It will come back to you 10 x worse! Soon you wont be jealous. Get out there and give it all you got! Make plans and invite them to.Soon she'll be jealous ;). Wear make up it works great! Dont ever feel brought down by another person,especailly your best friend! Shes not a threat. And please stick with her! Your you and your pretty and funny and just awesome! You got to have confidence. If your playing a game think "im going to win!!" and most likely you will because thinking good things and thinking possitive will make you feel better and get closer to your goal!! Take your mind off of her and her friends.when you no her friends you'll all be friends!! You have to be outgoing to :).You cant go wrong with haveing a fun sleep over and inviteing everyone! Dont make anyone feel left out because you also have to be WICKED nice to people. Just think of these as guildlines to becomeing noticed :) They really work to! Get everyones phone number and dont be afraid to do risky things!Be a dare-devil :). Live on the Edge! Try not to think about the times she had with her friends,because those things already happend.Make new fun times that you can think about!!
Good Luck and i know your going to become popular wicked fast!!

xXsarahlizXx answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 8:52 pm: hey yea well i have had the same problem. i hate to admit it but i am very jealous of a couple of my long time best friends. both are prettier and cooler than me. its a pretty bad feeling. you may have already heard this but im sure your friend is jealous about something that you have that she deosnt have. And i know its hard with her having more friends but its a good way for you to meet knew people and make a lot of friends. but what is important is knowing that she will be your friend forever. its much more important to have at least one best friend then to have a million good friends.
SAF3xWiiTHxM3 answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 8:36 pm: This is a normal thing, so its alright for you to be jealous mayb in some ways she jealous of you or people are jealous of you...you really cant stop that type of thing [ SAF3xWiiTHxM3's advice column | Ask SAF3xWiiTHxM3 A Question ]
angeleyes9304 answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 8:35 pm: Well, if your looking for comfort in this area then I think that you should talk to her about it. I think that she will make you feel ten times better about this whole situation. She will understand and make you feel more secure about this. And it doesnt matter if she has more friends, you have a great one, and a great friend is better than a million "just" friends...right?
FiNeLiLMaMa92 answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 8:13 pm: look hun i had the same problem a while ago...but the best thing to do is just dont let it get to you..and you should make some new frineds to..its okay to have More the 1 best friend!! I have more then 1 too..and just because she has more friends doesnt mean shes prettier then you or skinnier or anything like that trust me
Julie174 answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 8:10 pm: hey hun, it's normal to feel jealous. I have a best friend who i've been best friends since 1st grade, and she told me she felt jealous of me so I straightend things out by telling her i was jealous of her too (i kinda was by the way) and i told her things like dont feel jealous because the few friends you have are better than all my friends. Just talk to her and tell her your jealous and if something you don't like or if your still feeling jealous, let me know. I'll do as much as i can to help you. Good Luck!
Teza answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 7:59 pm: Its okay to be jelous at times but just remember she will never leave you.. like you said. You could start meeting more people or just meet her other friends. Being jelous is a normal thing but she will always be your best friend. [[ ♥♥ ]] [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
