Is my jealousy justified?
21/f.
Right so Ive dated and everything, but I've never fallen hard enough until now to really get jealous in my relationship. My boyfriend always "likes" this girls pictures on facebook and instagram. I trust him, and he's the type that tends to go "like-crazy" in general. But I"m insecure/self conscious and its really messing with me.
Is that normal or am I just being a crazy gf? & is there any way I could kind of bring it up to him withoutt sounding controlling or overly jealous?

I think its pretty normal to feel that way.
You just have to remember and accept that though committed he will still find other girls attractive just like I'm sure you find other guys attractive. Its human nature and It doesn't mean anything. You shouldn't have anything to worry about, unless he has messages and texts from her that he's hiding from you. But that's a different scenario.
Just try to let it go.

It might be common enough, but it's not rational to assume or accuse your boyfriend of doing something wrong for 'liking' photos of other people online.
That isn't justified. It's actually quite disrespectful. Being insecure sucks, but it doesn't make it okay for you to be mean to him and treat him like he is doing something wrong when he isn't. If you can't control your own emotions about him hitting like on photos - especially if you otherwise trust him and know that is how he engages with social media - then you are the one who should log off and take a deep breath. It doesn't sound like he has a social media problem. It sounds like you do.
If you want to talk him about this, talk to him not about his behaviour - which is fine - but admit your problem, and promise to try and be more respectful despite your insecurities.
