Is it normal to feel jealous in a friendship?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to feel jealous in a friendship sometimes. It often comes from worrying you’ll be left out or that the friendship matters more to you than it does to your friend.
Friendship jealousy is a pretty common human feeling, especially when a close friend gets a new friend, makes plans without you, or seems less available. It doesn’t make you possessive or a bad friend by itself; feelings aren’t the same as actions.
What matters is how you handle it. You can notice what’s underneath the jealousy—like missing your friend or feeling insecure—and talk about it without demanding that they choose you or drop other people. Friendships can be close without being exclusive.
