Paranoid about boyfriend and friend/s?

    Any advice appreciated...:) I tend to have jealousy and insecurity problems, but worst is when I introduce my boyfriend to certain friends of mine. My friends have a lot in common with me so I worry that whatever he likes about me, he will like in my other female friends and may prefer to be with them.

    In particular I have one friend who is very like me, though I worry she is prettier, nicer etc. I know her and my boyfriend get along well and can't help feeling incredibly jealous of it sometimes, especially if they run into each other without me. I feel horrible because I shouldn't be thinking these things, I know my boyfriend loves me and I'm close to my friend. I know realistically nothing would happen between them while we are together but I can't help being terrified he would rather be with her, or that he thinks she is just a better version of me. I would be grateful for any words of wisdom.

    You need to work on your self-confidence.

    Let's look at the facts here:

    Your boyfriend has met both you and your friend who you believe is 'nicer and more attractive'. Yet he has said he loves with you, spends his time with you and is intimate with you. I think this is proof itself that there is nothing to worry about. Forget about it altogether and enjoy your time together. Life is far too short to worry about things that are never going to happen.

    Why do you think so little of your bf that you think he would be in a relationship with you but he would prefer to be with someone else?
