Is it normal to be upset and angry when you're jealous?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. Jealousy can bring up hurt, fear, and anger all at once, even when you know those feelings don’t necessarily mean anything is wrong.

Jealousy often shows up when you’re worried about losing someone’s attention, feeling compared, or unsure where you stand. The upset and anger are normal feelings; they aren’t proof that your partner did something wrong or that you have to act on them.

Give yourself a moment before confronting anyone, then try to name what’s underneath the anger—maybe insecurity, hurt, or a need for reassurance. If it keeps coming up, talking about the specific situation calmly is usually more useful than blaming or trying to control someone.
