Is it normal to feel a little jealous?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, feeling a little jealous is a normal human reaction. What matters is how you handle it, not whether the feeling shows up.

A little jealousy can pop up when you care about someone, feel left out, or compare yourself with someone else. Lots of people feel it now and then, even when they trust the people around them.

You don’t have to beat yourself up for the feeling. It can help to notice what’s underneath it—maybe insecurity, wanting reassurance, or feeling overlooked—and talk about that without trying to control anyone. If jealousy is taking over or pushing you toward snooping, accusations, or restrictions, that’s a sign to take a closer look at what’s going on.
