Is it normal that im jealous when my best friend becomes close to someone else

and that i become a little cold, not on purpose but automatically.. to the other person because i feel like they're replacing me?

    I am the same way but with my cat because I do not actually like any of my friends because they always talk bad about my good friend and me. My good friend never talks bad about me and I really like her but we are not that close. But when someone comes in my house and my cat goes to greet them I get sort of mad because I want her to only like me. Lol

    It sounds really possesive, however depending how close two freinds are especeilly best freinds this kindve tends to happen so it is normol it means you care alot and you want them to pay the most attetion to you and basicly its like a untold agreement that they are infact YOURS above any others ,kindve like the bond between a girlfreind and a boyfreind or two poeple dating but without maybe the sexuel attachement . So yup its normol and thier is a chance they proboly do it you sometimes . but best freinds tend to be protective and very posessive too each other auctully I had a freind I was like that with and they were like that with me so it happens Alot wiht freinds like that its normol ... you dont want them to get a new bestfreind and I would proboly keep them to yourselves becuase sometimes best freinds will leave you when someone else comes along and youll feel kindve depressed trust me when I say this " .

    If you are a teenager I can understand. But we need to grow as individuals to mature because this is quite selfish behaviour.

      I'm 22, so i guess it really isn't acceptable. You're right, is it quite selfish behaviour. I think having bad friendships in the past has sort of affected the way i perceive and act towards more recent friendships. I'll try to back off a bit.
