Is it normal to be jealous of someone?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, jealousy is a normal human feeling. What matters is how you handle it: noticing the feeling is fine, but trying to control or punish someone because of it can cause harm.

Jealousy can show up when you feel compared, left out, or worried about losing someone or something important. Lots of people feel it sometimes, even when they know the situation isn’t actually a threat.

You don’t have to beat yourself up for the feeling. It can help to ask what’s underneath it and talk about that calmly; just try not to turn jealousy into accusations, monitoring, or rules for someone else.
