What kind of friend is that person? Being friends is like a sacred bond, you stick together, you have each others backs. THAT is not cool for a friend to do. I would NEVER do that to a friend.

Its a disease but not yours! Alot of my friends are fake and get upset when me or some of the others are doing well for themselves. It really gets to me cos I thought you are supposed to be happy for your friends. They are really competitive and always try to outdo me. I think I annoy them cos Im good at alot of things and have loads of different hobbies. Dont let people wear you down. True friends will stick by you and you WILL find them sometime. People can be sh#t but feck them and know that you are a good person.

Just live with it.  Later in life you will notice your friends dont matter all that matter is the person u go to sleep with at nite and the one you wake up with.  She loves you and you love her so who cares what they say they are jealous cause they wish they could have that type of relationship.

It can be hard to stay friends with someone like that because you can get jealous. If you find yourself paying much attention to their behavior and either getting jealous of the attention they get or annoyed by the way they act, you two are probably going to end up fighting about it. She gets so much attention from others she will probably drop you out of your life.\n\nThis is just what I see as a possibility, because I've had experience with it with a few friends like that. Their behavior annoys me to the point that I was disgusted with it and we couldn't be friends anymore.

you can be jealous of a friend just like you can of a loved one\njust because he is spending time with another , and this makes you feel left out doesnt mean that you are in love with him

It depends on how deep the friendship is. Friendships between three people can last a lifetime if they are true friends. Neither jealousy nor guilt shouldn't rear their ugly heads if the friends are comfortable with each other. Being friends doesn't mean you have to be 'joined at the hip'. Everyone has the right to go off and do their own thing without feeling that they have to invite their friends to every event. \nTrue friends are there when it matters and that's what counts.

Because some people have issues with themselves and take it out on other people. And sometimes people do things to be seen and also don't rule out jealousy!

I believe jealousy is a wasted emotion. Just because your upset about something doesn't mean the other person still isn't going to do whatever you dint like. If you love someone, you try to be open to their likes and feelings too. If you give ultimatums, it will backfire on you.

It's more or less just that they crave attention.  Sometimes it can be funny, but in the sense when friends are joking with friends (i.e. you make fun of how your friend's hair looks like he/she stuck their finger in an electric socket).  Unfortunately (and it's been this way for years and years) the status quo is such that (and has been such that) when one makes fun of another it boosts his/her self esteem and morale (and that of his/her friends) at the cost of another's.  Most times this behavior is conducive to a lack of self confidence and a need to prove oneself to his/her peers.  Also, it indicates a broken history (even if the person in question comes from a prestigious background).  They just don't get enough love, so they've got to be a*holes...  It's just a fact of life.

Chumps\nThey're chumps\nand they're jealous...\nJealous chumps who don't understand that friendship is the strongest foundation upon which to build a real relationship...\nMired in their own crappy, loveless situations, they firmly believe that love and friendship are mutually exclusive.  You, of course, know better.  The friendship you and her have developed over the years is the glue that binds- it's the very reason you're together.  You guys look out for each other, and as long as you remain friends as well you will avoid the standard bullsh*t like taking advantage of one another, etc.\ncongratulations, sir

Personally, it doesn't wound like shes a very good friend then if she punched you. Do you guys fight alot? If so, when did all of this start. What was the reason for her to get in his face like that? Does she have a bf? Maybe the jealousy thing is correct, but she's just putting her anger on him to hide the jealousy. It's one thing for your friend not to care for him that much, but another if she's going to let him come between you two; especially since he didn't even do anything to her. My whole life I had 3 best friends: Sue, John, and Kate. Sue and John hated each other, but never affected the friendship between Kate, Sue, and I. And the same with Jon, Kate, and I. If anything, give it some time, and see what happens. If she doesn't come around after 2 weeks, try going to her, ad if she still wont come back, than she wasn't a true friend to let a fight over a guy break your friendship.

People can be so mean, why can't they just worry about themselves. I think when people make fun of your friend it is because they are jealous of her confidence.

jealousy is a lack of trust...
