Hey everyone,

I don't know how to put this without making me sound like some crazy freak,I promise I'm not that bad..but I have some major problem..

Well here's the thing I have this problem when someone I love gets close to someone else..suppose I have a friend I love and I see she's getting close to someone else,I make sure things go wrong there so I have this friend to myself..its like I want to be the one that's liked by everyone in the group..

Even when it comes to boyfriends,I find him instantly attractive if someone else has him..its wierd and no I don't try to break them up,its just in my heart that I would date this guy but it only happens if he's taken!!how can I work on these issues??how can I let loose??

No need to worry. It's just insecurity on your part. Perhaps you're afraid that the new person will take them away from you. It's great that you are aware of it, but try not to act on the feelings though, or it could all back fire and they'll pull away for good and that would be terrible for you. Imagine if someone did this to you.

Atsweet1 agony auntIt sounds like you don't want him. And if you can't have him no one else will either. Its the thought of taking him away or being in competition for him. It's a challenge for you a game and they lose you win cause you sabotage relationships and romance. If you don't want him let him be. Fall back!
