I never minded but I might not be the most devoted type of friend attention-wise. Actually, I might be the friend that annoys some other people that way since I find it just about as fun to talk to strangers and make new friends as I do in hanging out with my regular ones. I'm always down to make new friends. My whole life philosophy is that every stranger is a potentially new lifelong friend.
I am very loyal to my friends though even though I might be a bit all over the place and seem a bit ADHD as far as friendships go. For example, one of my friends was imprisoned and I visited him every chance I could bringing him snacks and things to entertain him. I do have my friends' backs when they need me. I'm just a bit all over the place.

Yes a little; as long as they lessen my value in my friend's eyes or make me or my friend less available to each other.
Depends on what really matters the value or availabality. But for example if it adds value to my friend then and broadens their perspective then I'd be generally happier.
Just please balance. Or even if my friend would not find me worthy anymore due to that new person, then just let me clearly know. So it is about balance. If it doesn't affect the balance and our relationship, not that I care if they befriend all the earthlings.

I have an ongoing fake rivalry with my best friend's, friends that she knew before she met me. It's so crazy because one of the girls even slightly resembles me, so every time we go to a party and they are there, I always joke with her that she needs to choose who's number one now because we've now known each other 25 years. It's all in good fun though. She's very good about including everyone and not making anyone feel like they are the better friend.
Sometimes, yeah. Honestly, it can be a good and bad thing depending on your perspective: great because my friend has someone new to rant to about things I can't relate to.
Bad in that they usually wind up getting along so well together, I'm left alone or they forget about me until they need or want something from me 🙄

A bit yeah cause I'm not great at making new friends and the friends I did make ended up stabbing me in the back, so it was all a bit over the place. It's less I'm jealous of that friend but more that I'm jealous of the ability to talk freely and to be able to make new friends
No. But the ones I knew from high school are dead by now. :) why I say that? I don't know... but they were my friends and now they're makin' new ones.
It seems that people often drift apart as they grow older and we have to make new friends in different circles. Our children and neighborhoods can influence how our older friendships are maintained as well. I definitely don’t get jealous, but I do find myself missing others from previous stages in my life.
I have never had deep friends as some users here might have had. I changed schools so many times that I never had any solid friends.
Even if the friend went away suddenly without any notice, I think like this "People come and go. That's how it works!"
But I am able to related with a user here.That's a difficult question. Everything may depend on circumstances and mood. I don't mind my friends making new friends, the more less no one has a say about people making new friends. Life just happens to us, and making and loosing friends is part of it.
I got a small crew of family and best friends I grow up with whatever they happy with makes me happy but it don't mean I trust the newbies if they bring them around me and I don't get jealous it's a weakness that's a waste of time it's a pointless feeling that get peeps in trouble :) lol!

no... never been like this
my best friend, has another friend she considers her best friend... lol
never been an issue, the more (good/great) friends my friends have, the better for me... Yes I´m sometimes jealous of people that are easy going and have no problems making friends while it´s harder for me.
For me it takes time and maybe I expect too much but I feel it takes me much longer and therefore I often feel overlooked.Yes off course but in the end, she or he might hate me! He or she isn’t my boyfriend or girlfriend to be jealous of so I need to give him or her some space and other friends and I’m sure I have some too so we can work it out
No I don't. If I don't like the person my friends is friends with I just won't go around when they are there. Nothing wrong with people making new friends
Of course not. Their are RARE instances where a friend of mine becomes friends with another that doesn't accept me. And my friend does not see it. And expects me to just deal with it. Which of course I will, up to a point.
Nope
If my friend makes a friend then their new friend will probably also become my friend and that's always greatDoesn’t that jealously stem from feeling you controlled people? Who wants that type of person as a friend?
Not really, cus I don't care about them, just hanging out with them doesn't mean I can control their life, they are free to talk to anyone else
No, but sometimes I hate their new friends because of who the new person is personality/character wise, and then I just stop talking to both of them and go find new friends myself.
I think it s normal to feel left alobe the only thing is if they are closer than your left a part
Nope never. If anything it gets them out of my hair, LOL
No. I don’t. I’m pretty chill about stuff like that.
No as I am unable to form emotional attachments anymore I don’t care about anyone I only pretend to because Unfortunately there’s about 7billion of you assholes
I’m to the point where I just don’t care anymore. I used to.
