Is it normal to feel jealousy?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, jealousy is a normal human feeling. What matters is how you respond to it: you can notice it without letting it control your choices or how you treat someone.

Yes—jealousy happens to lots of people, in relationships, friendships, family, and even at work. It can show up when you’re worried about losing someone’s attention, comparing yourself with someone else, or feeling insecure. It isn’t proof that you’re bad or that your suspicions are right.

The feeling itself is normal; what you do with it is the part you can choose. Try to get curious about what’s underneath it, and talk about it calmly if something needs addressing. Keeping tabs on someone, making accusations, or trying to control them can turn an ordinary feeling into a real problem.
