How to overcome friends dating...being a third wheel?
Question Posted Saturday June 2 2007, 9:06 pm
15/f Okay. So, I have this guy friend and he's 18. And I have a friend who is a girl who is 18. And well, I used to have a crush on the guy, but he turned me down, and I got heartbroken. So then he started going out with the girl. I was SOOO wicked jealous...OMG. I hate(d) that girl's guts. Even though she's my friend. I like used to block her on MSN and he would get upset at me. So now...I made friends with her again. Like I unblocked her. And now, the guy friend thinks very highly of me for doing that. But he still doesn't like me in that way. And now I feel as they start going out more, I'm going to be left out and they're not going to be my friends anymore :( (I'm more worried about the guy being my friend than the girl). I am truly happy for them, with just a hint of jealousy (there always is) and I even tried to wreck their relationship once. But it upsets me that they will start paying less attention to me. Is there any way to overcome this icky lonely/jealous feeling? Should I just be supportive and very happy for them? And, if I may ask, is it normal in this type of situation to sometimes wish them the worst? (like in my mind) I mean..I don't mean it. But I don't want to lose him (yep, I don't care much about her).
