Why am I jealous of my friend?

[idk4]

I think that I'm going in a serious depression right now. I thought that I was someone else's best friend which was great because I'm not good making friends. I think that I was until he stopped fighting with his old best friend. Now I know that they have been spending 3 days together doing a lot of fun stuff and I feel left out. My friend has been inviting me to go to his house, but I had to say no 3 times cause I have been busy. Now I think that he is just going to forget about me. I don't know why I can't accept the fact that my friend likes someone else better than me. What can I do to feel good again?

You might try to remember that friendship isn't a competition, and that most people don't keep score/rank their friends. Sure, there might be someone who's better at some things, so they'll be asked to do whatever that might be, but typically, once you're a friend, you're considered warmly, regardless if they're with you or not.

It might be good to make sure to spend some time with him, that way, you'll see he still likes you and values your friendship. that should go ,ong way in making you feel less insecure. And if you're 'busy' make sure you say so, that way he wonlt feel you're blowing him off.

As sam said, friendship isn't (and shouldn't) be a competition. It is true though that I have friends who are better at somethings. Like I have a friends whos better at listening to me when I need someone to talk to, and a friends who's better to hang out with, do my nerdy things with :P
As I said in our PM, try and make it a three way friendship, instead of being a third wheel.

Oh ya, IAM power plus Caleb on this one, your in for good advice.

I would just like to add that you must remember that people change as they mature, not only physically, but mentally. They begin to think differently, take new perspectives on things, and like new things, which also includes people. You need to just relax, stay confident, and don't let this get away from you. Its not like your did anything (or you haven't told us) that would cause him to ignore you or somewhat shun you, he's just glad he made up with his other friend. Just find sometime to hang out with him, call him up, and have at it. Who says a healthy friendship must be serviced every day?

Maybe hes getting revenge,or just needs a break from you.There tones fish in the sea anyways :yes:,or you could talk to him and ask him he wants to sleep over,or something
