Being possessive with your best friend is understandable, but being toxic about it is a whole different thing.
Like, I get it. When two friends are really close, sometimes you feel jealous when your best friend gets close to someone else. You might think, “Why are they talking to them?” or “What happened to us?” That feeling is normal.
But getting mad every time your friend talks to someone else, giving attitude, ignoring them, or getting mad with the people ur friend talks…. that’s too much.
Having a best friend doesn’t mean they can’t have other friends too. Someone talking to another person doesn’t automatically mean the friendship is less important.
A little jealousy? Normal.
Being possessive? Understandable.
Making everything into an issue? Toxic.
Like bro being close is okay, but why does saying “hi” to someone suddenly become a whole friendship problem?
Sometimes people just need to trust the friendship instead of turning every little interaction into a competition.
Nobody is being replaced just because someone else is being included. Be close, be protective, be jealous if you have to… just don’t turn the friendship into a competition.
