Dear Tina,

In your situation it is totally understandable the way you are feeling. This guy likes your friend instead of you and now you are feeling unwanted. Most girls in your situation would feel jealous too. But as you know, jealousy is not a very attractive trait and will only make you look worse in the end.

Usually at the core of all jealousy is some type of fear. So ask yourself what you are afraid of. Is it that you feel that no guy will want you? Or do you feel that you are not good enough? Whatever it is you are fearing, it is not really real…it is just inside your own mind. You are believing negative thoughts about yourself because this guy chose your friend and not you…but it really had nothing to do with you, he just connected better with the other girl, and that is OK. It doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with you…he is just not the right guy for you.

Work on changing any negative beliefs you may have about yourself and try to boost your confidence and self esteem. This will help you get over your jealousy of your friend and this guy you used to like. And if you feel jealousy coming on when you are around them, try to bite your tongue and realize that it will only make you look bad if you react and say anything out of jealousy.
