Everyone has one best friend with whom we share each and everything. Does not matter whether it's a girl or a guy. I have a really very very good friend or best friend, we hang out together and have a lot of fun. but i dont like it when someone else tries to talk to my best friend, i know i dont own him but whenever someone else talks to my friend i just think that they are just using my friend in anyway. i just get a jealous kind of feeling that why they are stalking my friend , they should make there own. when we make a friend we start caring about them every minute and we try our best to be with them. so is it normal, like when i get jealous that someone else is going to steal my friend away from me. is it ok?

Well, I guess it's normal to be possessive at times, even with friends. I do remember instances when I feel the same but I usually just don't make it a big deal. I respect my friends' decision if it involves choosing other friends to hang out over me then I am cool with that, as long as no disrespect is done between us.

Emotions can sometimes be uncontrollable especially when it involves special people like friends, relatives, and/or loved ones. Best way to deal with this is to treat everyone with respect.

I think it's just uncontrollable , but we have to control our feelings, i should give some space to them also as they give me. Its good to be possessive but i don't want to get over-possessive and that's what i am trying to ignore.

I used to be jealous but have learned it is a waste of time. Who would stalk your friend. Friends have the right to have other friends. It is very immature of people to be jealous. And a grand waste of time. We need to get lives and have other things to do besides hanging out with only one certain person. Makes our lives rathe narrow. Need to open up your bag of oppurtunities and see what else the world has to offer us.

yes i think you are right, every one has it's own space and it would be good for me to stop wasting my time in this instead i should make much more friends.

Yes you are right every one has a best friend I too have one but in my case that is not in that typical boy and girl category but my wife who is my best friend for so long. I can safely say that jealousy does not stand in between we two over any topic. Neither is there any chance some one can take any of us away from each other. cheers.

Yeah..i have had that issue before. I had this female friend that I was really cool with. We worked together so we did everything together. But it got to the point that she started dating this dude, but she used to tell me about him all the time. I really didnt want to hear it, but as a friend I had to listen. But it had to be all good because anything negative, didnt rub me the right way.

I would get jealous some times when my best friend hanged out with some other people I didn't know. I tried to accept it and I was okay after. I know that my best friends will never leave me as I will never leave them.

Yes that's the main fact which we call trust !! if we are choosing someone our friend then we have to trust them and be with them in every good or bad situation and should trust them that they will be with us every time, in every situation !

I think it really does happen. I've experienced the same thing, too with my best friends. Especially when each of them had their boyfriends. Perhaps some of us just tend to be possessive with our friends. It could be good at some point, since it might show that you value your friendship that much. That no matter what happens, we want them to be on our side as much as how we show them that we would stay by theirs, as well. On the other hand, being possessive on your friend might not also be a good sign. Among the billions of other people in this planet, of course your friend may also meet some other new people along the way. What's important here is that no matter how many people they may encounter in each new happenings that they face, they will remain loyal to the friendship they had shared with you.
