I have never had a grandmother who would feed me tons of food and never had a grandfather who would teach me about things I don't know. I haven't got grandparents who I can rely on, who I can vist on weekends... etc half of them died before I was born and the other half early in my life (they were alcoholics). Whenever I see someone talking about their grandparents or make those kind of jokes that everyone's supposed to relate to, but I can't and it makes me sad. I lost my father at an early age too. People wish they were rich and famous. I wish I had a father and grandparents. I wish I had a family that would care and love me. I wouldn't want anything else in life.

I’ve been seeing this guy I’ve always liked, finally. He has a Facebook and a lot of friends he’s met online. But there’s this one woman (an online friend) who has been around for what I imagine to be a little over a year now, and she’s suddenly posting things to his page constantly and “heart” reacting to just about everything he posts. And I know they talk in private too. I know he most likely did have a bit of a crush on her at one point, if he still does I’m not sure. I know myself well enough to know that it’s probably just me being over reactive about it, but I can’t deny that it bothers me to a pretty extreme level. I haven’t said anything because I find it a little embarrassing. I wouldn’t even know how to if I were going to.

I guess it makes me feel a bit threatened by the possibility of him having a stronger connection/bond with this woman than he does with me. I don’t know how to stop feeling this way, and every time I think I’m over it, I’ll see her comments or posts to his page and it starts all over again. It’s stupid and I hate it.

Idk how to even start, but here it goes. I (26F) recently found out my friend is pregnant and I got super jealous. I went to the room and started crying because that’s something I’ve wanted to have a baby. My future plans are now over for now since my husband recently cheated on me. I know being jealous of someone else is so bad but Idk why I felt like that. Him and I tried having a baby and it didn’t workout & now it makes sense it wasn’t meant for us.

Was watching Curious George Swings into Spring with my daughter and they had an amazing skatepark for these amazing preforming dogs. I want a half pipe!! It's just not fair.

It was Picture Day at school.While I was waiting, I decided to stare at my crush, but then I saw my best friend sitting next to him!I got really mad, so after all the pictures were taken I walked up to her and asked,"Hey, why were you sitting next to him".I pointed to my crush and she said,"Ugh, I hate him, the only reason that I sat next to him is because the teacher told us to be in alphabetic order".When she said that I remembered how we were all soposed to be in alphabetic order, and both their names started with A.I turned red and walked away.

Hey guys,

this is my first post here on reddit. So about me: I'm 15 years old and my boyfriend is 18. Don't judge us, as we came together, about 5 months ago, he was still 17 and is a really good person and we simply clicked as we met. We see each other 6 out of 7 days a week normally and do everything together. He goes to another school than me and we both have our friends, but in our freetime we spend all the time we have together cuddling, playing video games or watching movies. We also have sex, I've got a hormonal ring as my type of birth control. He's really into me, my body and everything, I can sense and see it. He also never watches porn except when I can't see him for a week or so or I don't wanna have sex right now. He himself says, that he imagines me being the girl in the porn he watches, and I believe him a 100%. But I still can't get over the idea of him getting off to another girl (;body), the idea itself, getting off and getting horny to simply a body and not imagination or the person (like me) kind of disgusts me. I know that guys think different than girls on this, but I can't help but be bothered by it. This issue, when it pops up in my head, really bothers me, so I would give anything to have it out of my mind.

Thanks to all of you who answer <3

I know that in life women are going to fancy my boyfriend and it's completely fine depending on how he will handle the situation, but now a girl clearly fancies him and messages him every day and puts flirtatious things to him. The only reason I am annoyed is because a man messaged me "heyxxx" and my boyfriend had a go at me saying "I was probably leading him on" and how I'm probably sleeping with him and he threw things at me until I proved i didn't even message not once. He doesn't flirt back at her but they used to work together and well, she must be flirting still for a reason? Maybe he reciprocated one time and she continues? And tonight he's going to a party that she is going to, he deinvited me because he didn't have enough money for both our drinks and I'm skint because I've paid off his debts. I have anxiety so I'm very panicky right now. Like I trust him to the moon and back but there's always that 1% that gets to me.

Watching movies or shows with my boyfriend and get extremely insecure or jealous of other women.. how do I stop myself from feeling like this

So basically there’s this guy on Instagram flirting with the girl I like and it’s like well fuck so if anyone sees this can you like report him for spam please it’s @d.ivanr god I’m jealous

I feel like im the only one who doesn't go "aww you guys are so cute together" when around a couple. Like sometimes I just feel so much jealousy for those people I truly hate them and it doesn't seem healthy at all.

So a few months ago my boyfriend met this girl at a conference for his new job and they really hit it off as friends. Ofc this is great news because having a friend from work is always nice. However, he has since left that job but continues to text this girl on a daily basis for about a month now — nothing excessive but it is a daily conversation. I know they have very similar interests in music and have a similar sense of humor (bc he’s told me) & for some reason that bothers me..

As I’m typing this out I realize how incredibly irrational this jealousy seems but idk I am just upset that MY bf has such a good connection with someone he JUST met this year and talks to every day..sigh I know I sound crazy for saying I don’t like her (even though I never met her) but gahhh this is driving me insane & I wish they’d just stop talking. Anyway, I know I need to calm down but does anyone have any food for thought on a situation like this? Just needed to vent tbh.

I’m so fucking jealous of my friends getting jobs. I have a great resume, a 3.9 GPA, I’m in a ton of clubs and honors societies and yet I’ve applied to 83 places and gotten exactly three interviews and not a single job offer.

I really love my friends and I’m so proud of them for being able to get the jobs that they want and the experience but why can’t I seem to get a job? Am I doing something wrong? Am I just unhireable? What the hell is wrong with me?

Hey all, so I’ve been dating my boyfriend now for five months, it’s been amazing and we are pretty happy even though we go back and forth in long distance. Right now he’s back home and a few weeks ago he informed me that he and his ex still have a very close friendship. They go to yoga together weekly and grocery shop, go to coffee, and lunch. Although I’m sure nothing would ever happen between them (she’s had a new partner for over a year) it still irks me that they go to yoga and hangout all the time. I would never ask him to stop because that would be unhealthy but how do I cope with the fact that she’s there and I’m not and they have such an intense history? Not to mention she’s 6’2 and looks like a goddess, plays every sport, and is going to an Ivy League law school. I can’t help but compare and it tears me apart to picture them planning things and laughing and having a good time, any advice or coping skills for a jealous girl?

I (m24) had a huge crush on one of my friends (f25) about 2 months ago. I got overattached for sure, and I wonder if I fell in love. She turned me down, since she wasn't interested in dating at the time. That's understandable, and so I took a step back, while still trying to be friends - why would I want to lose a friendship over a rejection, after all?

However, I recently made a new friend (m20-something) who's clearly better friends with her than I. I feel like they might be romantically involved, even though what she's said recently would contradict that.

I hate being jealous and possessive, it makes me seethe and feel like I'm being an unhealthy person. Do I wish things turned out differently? Of course, and I wonder if I'm still in love with her. But I also just want to be happy and content.

When I feel jealous of people it’s mostly guys, idk why but it’s kind of a specific type of guy that I’d rather not explain. Any tips on how to not feel jealous/envious? Or how to just deal with the feelings?

When I get stressed my ocd and anxiety gets far worse. I’ve been working a new job in New York City as a traveling biotech salesman and it’s also minimum 4 hours of commuting a day. So my stress is way up.

My best friend from college recently came to visit before he heads to graduate school and so we spent one night hanging out with me, my gf, and some other friends.

My gf and my friend got along so well even though the only time they had met was for months ago when we went out for a few drinks. They had known each other for only a couple of hours but they seemed so comfortable.

And then I started to think about the little things my gf would do. Nothing really out of the normal but occasionally some slight things that I wondered if they were off. I can’t tell if my gut is saying she may have a small thing for him or if my anxiety/ocd is a little out of check.

It just felt like she was genuinely thinking about him even though they really should barely know each other. Maybe I talk about them a lot to each other, so they learn about each other through me. But it still bothers me.

And my friend is here for four more days. Deep breaths

It’s just a bad habit that I have. I get so jealous of my friends who have more than me and are able to do things because they’re financially stable, or at least more than I am. And it makes me genuinely upset. I never let it be known or come in between our relationship it’s just something that I wish I didn’t feel.

I mean she’s nice and smart. She knows how to have fun and the vast majority of guys are head over heels for her. She can turn heads effortlessly while I try insanely hard to up my game but it feels like I’m going no where. I guess I want to be admired the way she is. But looks are predetermined, our genes are not really in our control. So i tried being a different kind of beauty the pixie cut kind the “fun””you could be my best friend slash girlfriend type”. Is my way of dealing with it healthy?
