I’m sorry for reporting you, I pressed something wrong. For your question well,I was really close with my dad and my mom sometimes. I remember now. When I was a little girl,I had this childhood friend. She was my best friend. My mom compared me to her a bunch of times. She would always say how smart she was and I would get jealous.sometimes she did pay more attention to o am, I ended up becoming possessive. Anytime when she would come over to my house, my mom treated her like a daughter and I did not like it I thought I was the smartest child in my moms eyes. I did not like how my mom saw her as another daughter. I used my jealousy to try to get better grades so when I did better than her, I felt success.I would say to my mom, i did better than egiya in math, history and spelling. when I was being bullied, some of my “friends” wanted to replace me with someone else. I felt hurt by it and said nothing and kept it all in. Then it started to follow me in middle school. Especially in 8th grade, before I met molly I had someone who was my best friend and her name was Jordan. She was sweet. I also got jealous of her beauty because she was popular and a lot of guys liked her. But I said nothing aND kept it all in. In 8th grade me and her shared a friend. Me and this friend had a falling out and competed for Jordans attention. I always thought that I was number 1 in her heart, so anytime when I would see Jordan and my former friend, I grew more possessive and jealous of Jordan. I wanted Jordan to be all for me. Then in high school, we’ve changed. She grew more popular, I felt more left out and distanced from her. I thought we would be best friends forever but I was wrong and called myself a fool. Anytime I made a friend in middle school,I would feel great joy. But when someone I don’t like try to have fun with them,I grew more and more jealous. I saw egiya hanging out with my friends and I ended up freeing more jealous.I always thought in my head, they like her better than me. She’s going to steal my friends again. I want her gone and out of my life. I didn’t want to hate her but I kept getting jealous. I was a shy quiet girl who people barely know my name and she was the outgoing loud girl popular girl who you can’t help but want to be friend with. In 10th grade, egiya became friends with my other best friend Marissa. Me and Marissa grew apart since then. She also became friends with Laura. She would hang oUT with Laura and egiya all the time, I felt so hurt and unloved. I wanted them gone. Anytime when I made a friend, I thought we would be best friends forever. I thought once I got out of elementary, I would have friends who truly cared about me. Earlier today, I cried. I cried because I felt that none of my current friends love me nor do they appreciate me.but I know that is not true but I don’t know why that made me cry. With molly I feel like that ever since her bf came into her like, I felt that she cwould rather be with him than with me. I thought that she wants to be with himbecause he is able to travel and I can’t. I fear of being replaced. I don’t want to lose someone I care about anymore. It hurts being replaced. I ended up getting depressed when I was 15 because of it and my self esteem was at an all time low. (Alo NV with my ex breaking up with me) I can’t help but get jealous of her bf because I keep having this fear that one day molly will cut me out of her life for him. I told her this and she told me that she’ll never do it and that she wants me to be in her life. She told me that she wants to see me get married, have kids and be happy. She doesn’t like seeing me get all sad.
