Is it normal to be extremely jealous of couples?

Ok so I'm a 17 year old girl. Everybody says I'm very young and have my whole life ahead of me. But it doesn't feel that way. I'm going to be 18 in march of 2015. Anyway anytime I see couples in public like at a mall, movies ECt holding hands, arms around their shoulders I get so FREAKIN JEALOUS! It feels like I'll never have that one day! Well I did have a bf back in june but he decided to be just friends with me cuz of the age difference. It hurts to see loads of couples everywhere. Anyway is it normal to be so jealous?

  • First of all, being in the RIGHT KIND of relationship is not misery, so don't listen to people who try to put you off wanting a relationship. Yes, you do have your whole life ahead of you but so what? Most mature girls around your age will want some sort of relationship, if not a serious one. When I was you're age all I wanted was to find somebody who was comitted as I was and to settle down with. When I was 18 I met the love of my life and we've been happily together and living together for a year, and funny enough it feels like my life has just started since I met him. We do everything together and I feel like we are one of those couples who I used to be jealous of. I understand how you feel. Don't let people tell you to "enjoy your life now and have a relationship later", because for me I was at my most miserable before I found someone who felt exactly how I did. Ever since I met him I've felt like my life is at its best and most enjoyable. Yes relationships do take work, but if you're with the right person you'll find that its incredibly easy to be with them and not as difficult as everyone makes it out to be. I hope you find someone soon. Don't settle for just anyone just for the sake of having a boyfriend though, you'll get hurt that way. A lot of assholes out there.

    I am a firm believer that there is someone for everyone. We just need to be brave enough to find them.

    Awe.Of course thats normal. I feel the same way to some degree. Not jealous,Just wish I could experience the same in the love department. The people telling you, You have your whole life ahead of you are right. It'll come eventually,Youll be okay Kid.

  • You are being ridiculous and with that attitude you will scare off most guys. I don't remember even getting a hug from a girl at your age let alone a date. There are people who live their whole life without anybody liking them so you have no right to be jealous at 17.

    I had a neighbor who made a lifelong career as a janitor who was a 56 year old virgin 4 years ago.

    You're fine.
