I know that it is normal for us to get jealous if the person we are so close with enjoys the company of others. But I know that it is common with boy-girl as friends especially if you feel something for your friend. My advice to you is try to hang out with the other friends of your bestfriend for sure you'll get along with them too.

hmmm... maybe you're just used to always having your best friend around. you feel like you don't want others to become attached to him because you're afraid that the attention that he's giving you will become less than what he has for you right now. i suggest that you think of your best friend's sake, his life wouldn't revolve only on you. he has his own thinking and his own life. he decides on who he wants to befriend and talk to. besides, he's your bestfriend, not your boyfriend/girlfriend. if you want, you can talk to him, and tell him to assure you that you remain best of friends whatever happens. goodluck!

Maybe you're just used to having your best friend around all the time. Now that he's enjoying the company of other people, you feel left out. Try to get to know your best friend's new friends. Also try to meet other people, hang out with a different set of friends, expand your social horizons. Shift your attention on other things, hopefully it'll remove the negative feelings that you feel about your friend.
