Overprotective

[RaeNose]

So, when it comes to guy friends, I am pretty sure that I am way too overprotective. I become jealous of every girl that flirts with my guys friends, unless I know the girl really well.
The strangest thing is, when it comes to girls flirting with my actual bf, no jealousy whatsoever. I mean, the fact that there is no other girl that can make him want her more than he wants me gives me a peace of mind. But, you know, I especially don't want Gurty falling for some skank and ruining his music career.
... I just said that.
Wow, I am going insane.
Or becoming to motherly.
By the way, I also have killer maternal instincts. Like a mother hawk with her babies.
I just said that too...
I am such an overprotective freak!
It probably doesn't help that I had a dream in which Gurty kissed me (and I mean KISSED) and Sam had told me that he was gay and that he wanted me to give him away at his wedding.
Idk. I think I'm just crazy.

hmmm, i know what you mean. i'm very protective of my friends too and i understand how you feel about being jealous of them. all i want to say to you is that being protective, or overprotective is ok as long as you don't act on that overprotectiveness and interfere with the lives of your friend. doing that is a way to lose your friends or cause fights between you which is nasty. the fact you feel comfortable with your boyfriend being with other girls is something fantastic because it means you have total trust in him and there is nothing wrong with that at all. i just suggest that you try not to act, or let the overprotectiveness get the better of you. and as for the dream, it was only a dream, don't read too much into that.

Yeah...
Idk.
It's not that way with girls around me though; mainly because I only have a few really good girl friends. I have that same relationship that I do with my bf, whenever they go of with a new best friend, I know it will only be a matter of time before their backs are stabbed and they need me and a pint of ice cream. I'm just not the one to be left. Wow, that sounded really conceited, but I honestly didn't mean it like that. I just meant that because I'm not terribly pretty, people trust me right off the bat. I listen to them, and they like hearing from me. I'm always second to them, so I make them look better. They keep me around, because I'm a foil.
Thus, I become a mother.

I mean don't take this the wrong way, because it's not meant badly, but people can often get intimidated/scared by what they don't know. This can purtain to people, places, situations, anything. Also, there's nothing wrong with being protective of something or somebody that you're passionate about, whether they're a friend or boyfriend. Don't worry about it :) Your male friends are good friends with you for a reason, they like you.

You have a valid point. Hmm.... An interesting way to think about it, I guess.
