Two of my close friends recently got boyfriends. I definitely don't have crushes on either of the guys, but I still feel jealous and left out. I end up being mean to my friends when they talk about their relationships—it's terrible of me. What should I do?

Hurry up and apologize because they're probably starting to resent you for acting uninterested in their stories and/or downright rude in general.
Be totally honest about why you've been acting this way—I'm sure they'll understand. That said, they need to be sensitive to you as well.
If your friends have been making every conversation a gush-fest about their love lives, it's 100 percent okay to ask them to calm down.
