am i overly jealous/CRAZY?!
17/F I know I should be happy for my best friend who finally got a boyfriend..like today for the first time EVER..but I'm not. I've never had one either..and I've just feeling very very upset with her that now I have to make room for her boyfriend..and I hate sharing. I know, I sound crazy, jealous and everytime I talk to her, I get really mad because all she does is talk about him now. Seriously, what can I do to stop feeling this way because I don't want to keep feeling like a REALLY bad friend..I'm the only single one now..and it sucks being single all by yourself. Help?

This exact same thing happened to me when my roommate and best friend got a girlfriend this year. At first, he did nothing but spend time with her and I got really jealous. But because of this, I ended up hanging out with her a lot too. And now we are actually good friends while she is still my roommates girlfriend. I dont know, it took maybe about a month for my jealousy to get over (I guess it's not completely over cuz its annoying when I want to hang out with him but he has to be with his GF). Anyway, my suggestion is just to hang out with both of them. You will still be hanging out with your best friend but you might make another friend in the process.

It can be hard being the single friend when one of your friend's isn't. Especially if you guys are close.
Your friend is just happy right now, and this is only a phase. It'll pass, but you need to talk to her about it. Just pull her aside & say "I've got no problem with your boyfriend, or your happiness, but don't talk about him so much because I'm single, and it sorta makes me feel bad." She might not understand, but if she's your friend, she'll take what you say into consideration & do something about it.
If you don't talk to her about it, then it won't stop & she'll forever be getting on your nerves talking about her boyfriend. But don't worry, you'll find a boyfriend & you'll probably be the same way. I get happy just knowing the guy I like likes me back. =) Good luck.

She's probably in a giddy phase right now. She'll tone it down once the phase ends, but if she doesn't, talk to her about it. If you want her to stop it, she first has to know what she's doing. Don't feel bad, everyone gets jealous every once in a while.
