I actually want to be free of jealousy of her other friend and bpyfriend because they get to physically spend time with her. I’ve never met her, I live in Georgia. So I immediately feel jealous when they get to hang out with her knowing that I never met her. Along with me being too attached to her. I want things to change for the better between us. I know how hard it is to keep a friendship healthy and successful along with it being balanced. She does want to still be my best friend, but she doesn’t know how to have a healthy friendship because all of her former friends just used her but she only has 1 friend who she’s been friends with for 6 years who shes always been too depended on until she met me. Yet her friend doesn’t like me because she was jealous of me. My best friend still wants to try to make things work for us and I understand how difficult it can be. So sometimes I think that when I am jealous, I try to place so much expectations of her to be my friend. I just want to stop being jealous of them but I don’t know what to do about my jealousy

Now this is all making more sense…It all started when I was 8 years old. I was a very sweet and smart little girl, I would always get in the teachers good side. Some of the other kids started to bully me because of my ethnicity..(I am half american and Ivorian) They would stop bullying me unless I gave them answers to the homework,tests,quizzes and would do most of their projects. In 4th grade, I met a couple of the popular girls and became friends with them. But they were bullies. Anytime when I wanted to say no to them, they would either stop talking to me or pressure me into doing whatever they wanted. I had this friend who was dear to me but I chose the popular friends over him. He was really sweet and he protected me against the bullies. We got into an argument and he told me these words that Ill never forget…”You said I was your real friend so why hang out with people who dont care about you”. I felt sadness and regret. The last time we spoke was when I said goodbye to him. He had to move.His name was david and to this day I still remember him. I was also used in 5th grade by some other people, but this time I started to stand up more of myself. Some of my classmates kept wanting me to stand up for myself against the bad kids. So the day I did, this person who I thought was ny friend insulted me in front of everyone and I burst out crying. I was 11. I have been used again in 6th some of 7th a little bit of 8th and 9th grade. In 10th grade, I met my best friend from scotland whose name is Molly. she was one of the very few friends i have who has never used me. The last time I have been used for someones own personal gain was this girl name Callie. She told me she was shizoprenic and bipolar and she had very bad anger issues. I didnt want to believe that she used me,but I realized it that she never saw me as a friend. I rarely quwstioned with how she treated me. She would cuss me out and became verbally abusive to me if I did not like what she was doing. one time i told her I didnt like that she kissed her ex in front of me(she knows I am uncomfortable with Pda) she told me excuse the fuck out of me i can kiss whoever I damn want and that it wasnt any of my business. I felt deeply disgusted by her and told her yes it is because whoever you kiss in front of me is my business. Then she cussed me out even more until I apolgized. I thought it was very unfair because I always let her do whatever she wants and the minute I say or do something she doesnt like, she would not talk to me until I apologize or cuss me out. When I told her I was going to cuss her out, she threatned to physcially harm me. She said horrible things to me that I think im so tough, I lose friends too easily, I am too sensitive and other things. I wanted to cuss her out by saying that she was a horrible bitch who is so hypocritical and that she should go and kill herself and no ones likes you because you always threatned to harm them and that you have no friends at all. I didnt say any of it, but instead I stood up for myself and told her that my friends understand me, I lost 2 friends and you know that. along with me apologizing. I got mad and stressed over her because she would only be satisfied with me when I would do things her way. I wanted her to die or at least have horrible things happen to her. But the reality was, I was so mad at myself for being used again. I hated it so much. I am truly a nice and good person. I do care a lot about the current friends I have now. I guess when I see Molly(my best friend) is still friends with her friend of 6 years, i think the truth is is that I want her to stay away from her. She even told me that she thinks that her friend was using her before. I also want her to leave her boyfriend because I believe he’s using my friend so he wont feel lonely. I do not trust him or her friend. I do not trust her boyfriend because when they were dating for 2 months and he came to stay at her house , he told her he wanted to live with her and that he loved her. For some people, thats sweet but for me it was like what the hell! You are lying to my best friend because not only have yall barely dated but you’re promising my friend something that will never happen. His ex gf cheated on him. and when he was heart broken and molly kept comforting him,he decided to date her. I do not believe he loves my best friend.Even though they have been going out for 10 months, i do not believe they love each other but its more of they are staying with each other out of fear of being lonely. my best friend molly has always wanted to date an asian and she keeps dating from guy to guy.She wants to feel love from a guy because her father never accepted her nor love her. Which explains why I do not want her to be used by some guy like her boyfriend or from her friend of 6 years. I do not want her to get her hopes up at all thinking that she’ll be with them forever. I do not want her to cry over them when they hurt her. I just dont want her to be used like I was. My ex boyfriend never loved me(we were 15) I comforted him and accepted him and he took advantage of my kindness then broke up with me. I do not want my best friend to be hurt like I was. She told me that every guy she dated except for 1 has used her and never accepted her. Even the guy she is dating accepts her peircing and tattoo, hes just rushing the relationship with my best friend and she wants to marry him and have his kids and they are only 17. I do not want her to be unrealistic like I was. I learned to deal with reality,but for her she wants peace and no arguments. I am sorry I wrote so much. I feel better getting this off my chest

After reading what you said, I understood the big difference between me and my friend. She hates arguing so much and would say I am sorry just so the person can forgive them. I do say I am sorry when I argue but at the same time,I make sure I at least say how I feel or what I want. I also realized that she still has a very hard time saying no to people and that she cant stand up for herself. After being bullied, I have been saying more what I want and how I feel( but I also think about it first before doing) I am also realizing that anytime we argue, she rarely tells me how she truly feels about my actions. So I think that she is afraid of me getting angry and taking it out on her again. Better yet, I think she is still afraid of me leaving her. I have taken care of my anger issues because I took it out on her when her bf came to visit her because I felt replaced. Since then, i have been going for help to deal with my anger. One time she broke down in the bathroom. We barely spoken to each other over a year ago because ever since her friend of 6 years broke up with her bf, she took all of her time! I felt abandoned and felt the distance and jealous of her friend. That was when I started to develop anger issues when I was 17 years old. I sent her a text and it sounded like i didn’t want to be her friend anymore.(It was a misunderstanding) She came to me crying and said that she wanted to still be my friend and that she was sorry for hurting me. I felt so ashamed and hated myself for making her cry, and I apologized to her a lot. We forgave each other,but her friend of 6 years messaged me saying I am just someone who lives in america and that I have been friends with Molly for 1 year while I have been friends with her for 5 years and that I was the one who helped molly go back to school. (Molly told me I was the main reason for her going back to school,because I showed her so much love and that I believed in her and that she is at her happiest when she is with me). As I am writing this, I am beginning to understand that I have no reason to be jealous of her friend of 6 years nor her bf. It is just having a friend who lives in a different country can be difficult from time to time. So sometimes I can’t help but get jealous when her friend of 6 years gets to hang out with her every single day and go to the same school along with her bf who gets to travel to Scotland or have his parents meet Molly taking time from me. I do spend time with my other friends. It is also not fair that her bf is saying stuff like I want to live with you knowing that people can change. Molly still wants me in her life,so how can I be in her life when he wants to spend every single minute with her? If we were in our late 20s, I would understand her getting married and not talking to her a lot. But he wants to spend every minute with her. So i can’t help but wish that he would get out of her life for good. The moment his ex cheated on him, he just wants to spend every minute with him and it annoys me so much that she does not know how to balance her time. I even have some other best friends who still find the time to want to talk to me and actually spend more than 10 minutes to want to talk to me. She knows how much Ive missed her, she always says Yeah I know. but I want to tell her no you don’t if not we wouldn’t be having this argument. I think that I expect too much from her to stay in my life. But I usually get like this when I rarely talk to her because it hurts when I miss her and feel that is very unfair that they get to spend more time with her. I appreciate you reading this 🙂

Also what should I do to stop feeling jealous of them? I am a little bit scared that he is going to take her away from me. I do want to see molly get married and have kids,but I dont want to hear her talking about it so soon knowing that he will change and so will she. SHe is going too fast with him and, i feel left out. I just want him gone. I have spoken to him before and he seemed like a nice guy until i found out that he did not want molly talking to other guys months ago. She did tell him to trust her, but I still do not trust him. I want to stop feeling jealous of him.

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.

I know she loves more more than those two but I have a hard time accepting the fact that she doesn’t love them more than me. I don’t want her to keep reassuring me because it’s not fair to her or to me.
