I can't think of any tricks for you to shake these feelings of jealousy. Just try to be happy for them. They are your friends ya know? Exercise as much will power and self control as you can in how you act around them. You can't always control how you feel, for instance an intense feeling of jealousy, but you can control how you conduct yourself around them. Now you start cashing in your 'friend favors'. Have one of their boyfriends set you up on a date.

I'm guessing you're in your teens, and it's hard not to feel jealous when friends are with someone... but, the way I always thought about it was (and I NEVER had a boyfriend in high school) If I get married by the time I'm thirty and live till I'm 80, that's fifty years of being with the same person... I want to be young and be single and have options. Plus, I learned the sooner you stop looking for a boyfriend, the sooner a boyfriend finds you. Good luck, don't worry. Your friends will come around when they have broken hearts.

Have you told them how you feel? My best friend was in your position a while back and one day she just exploded on me and two other girls. We were so shocked and surprised by it because we were all so into our guys that we never realized it was bothering her. She didn't talk to us for a few days and we deserved it.
I don't want you to have the same thing happen to you where you just start ranting and raving on how they're all selfish and obsessed, but I think you need to sit them all down and tell them, "Yeah, I'm happy for you all, but it'd be nice if you could take a break from talking about them or hanging out with them to spend some time with me, I miss you guys." If they don't listen to you, take some time off from them, don't be rude or mean, just let them know that you shouldn't be treated that way by your friends.
Just remember, us girls are always going to act this way and sometimes we need to be reminded that our friends are always going to be there, guys might not. And at some point, you will get a guy and ignore your friends as well and you'll have to remember what you're going through now.
Good luck hun and remember, deep down below the boys, they still care about you.

There is no need to be jealous. Even though having a special someone is desirous, not having one at any time is definitely not the end of the world. Just relax..your time will come soon enough. Take your time and be selective. Don't rush, and by no means run out and get one just for the sake of having one too. Enjoy yourself and have fun. Do not depend on having a man in order to be happy. Just make sure that when sparks do ignite for someone you don't go into it blindly. Love yourself first and "to thine own self be true".

It's obvious to be jealous but then there r advantages in being single, too.
Think-- when they will start disputing on every point and every now and then. When there tastes do not match. et al.
Will u feel jealous then abt their relationships?
But it's a part and parcel of life to be in and out of relationships.

Is this how you measure how importent your life is? There is more to life then a relationship that will probally get nowhere. Don't worry about your friend's boyfriends. Just live and have fun.

Jealousy will get you no where. You need to focus on yourself. Get a make over. Ask a big brother to give you pointers or a hip uncle.

Relationships lead to marriage & babies..not necessarily in that order..enjoy your time & live your life to the fullest. One day it won't be about just you. You won't ever have just yourself after that. LIVE :o)
