Is it normal to feel jealous of a friend?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to feel jealous of a friend sometimes. It can point to something you want or a worry about the friendship; what matters is how you handle the feeling.
Friend jealousy is common, even when you genuinely care about the person. Maybe they got something you want, seem closer to other people, or make you compare your life with theirs. The feeling doesn’t make you a bad friend—it’s just a signal, not a verdict on your character.
Try to notice what’s underneath the jealousy before you act on it. You can use it to figure out what you want or what reassurance you need, without taking it out on your friend or trying to compete with them. If it’s a recurring pattern, a little honest reflection (or a kind conversation) can help.
