Is it really necessary for my friend to get mad at me because I'm trying to make new friends?

I know where you’re coming from. It’s common for people to not want to “share” their best friend. I even get kinda bummed out if I find out my best friend was hanging with other people without including me. It mostly has to do with jealousy or fear of losing each other as best friends. It’s a natural human feeling, but don’t put up with it. She needs to accept the fact that you deserve having more friends. Maybe she’ll back off if you guys try making new friends together? Honestly though, letting her know how you feel is the best way to go. You can’t just keep going on, letting her control you, you know? That never ends very good. Just talk to her about this, face to face, and tell her how you’re glad you have her - but you want to make some more friends too, or whatever. Good luck :)

That “friend” should’nt be so touchy.

No, but she probably getting mad because she thinks that if you make a new friend ur going 2 4get about her

Well it might be a bit normal because she might be thinking that you are going to leave her, or ditch her or whatever for someone else, when she really likes to be your friend. Also she might be mad because she does not want to loose you. It’s ok to make new friends, but it’s also not ok to leave her and to let go of the friend that was with you even when you where a “loner” Your friend might even be scared to turn into a loner herself if you find new friends and leave her. So make new friends, but also hold on to her, how about you guys make new friends together? This way she won’t feel left out and not get angry about it.

It isn’t nescessary but she seems like a good friend and that she is just afraid she is going to loose you.maybe you introduce her to your new friends so you can all be friends.

I live with my boyfriend and his best friend comes down every once in a while and im under age up here in canada for drinking and such and my bf and his best friend arent so when his friend comes down hes constantly trying to get my boyfriend to do things he thinks I wont like/cant do with them….. like for example going to the bar or going cruising all the time….. or he pulls things like man we should look at boobs and its like your gf is sitting right here and its a piss off……

I found that if you talk to your friend or in my case freaked on my bfs friend it will give them the security that you guys are always gunna be best friends but you have to have other friends as well and as other people have said try including her

She is not mad at you, just jealousy.

She is not mad at you, just jealousy.

Not at all.

Then the girl that you call your friend isnt really your friend because she doesnt want you to be friends with anyone else but her. She probably feels that way because shes a loner, and she probably relates to you most and if you make new friends you make forget about her. This sistuation sometimes happens often to girls because it is sometimes hard to make and keep friends. But it is so easy to lose friends, and shes getting all pissy because she doesnt want to be alone, and she probably likes your presence. But you should talk to her and tell her how you feel, and if she doesnt understand then go ahead and find new friends.

Honestly, I believe your friends are selfish and jealous. They shouldn’t care if you’re trying to make new friends, I mean the only logical explanation I can think of is that either: A) They think you’re trying to somehow replace them, or B) They’re simply jealous of your friend-making abilities. Some people have alot of friends, some don’t. Just make sure the friends you have and the ones you make are real friends, because nobody deserves to get hurt by a “fake” friend. Best of luck to you :) Hope this helps :)

It is normal. She feels like if you make new friends you would think that they are more fun to be around with and you might end up ditching her for them. Try introducing her to them and maybe you can all hang out. Don’t stop trying to make new friends because she’ll get jealous. Meeting new people is a good way to know different kinds of personalities. You don’t always have to have a friend that has alot in common with you. Make her understand that you want to meet new people and have more than one friend. Just because you have other friends doesn’t mean you can’t be her friend.

No, it’s not necessary; and shows her as insecure. Maybe she thinks you’re going to ditch her for all your new friends so she got mad. It’s better to assure her you’re not going to ditch her after.
