Am I really worried or is it jealousy?

Sometimes we get overprotective over some people. We just want them to snap out of the &#$* mode they are tuned in at the moment and come back to reality. As I was in a very disturbing conversation with a friend, telling her what to do and what not to do, I stopped to think. Could it be that I am jealous that she is doing all those so called “bad things” without me. Would they be considered as “bad” if done with me? Deep into my thoughts, I screeched… ohmygod, I think it might actually be that I am jealous!!! Never thought of my self as being a jealous person!! Now, I am being all overprotective over a girlfriend!!! …. I stop and think…. I tell my self: But, but… but I do need some attention, I don’t think I should be neglected!!! And, and… and she is living a life that’s not hers anyway. What used to be “naughty but not acceptable” is “cool” now, and what used to be not acceptable at all is a normal daily life routine!!! HMPH... What a way to start a morning and a week. Sitting on my desk at work, trying to concentrate on my work and what I have lined up for this week, I fume in some jealousy. My day has just been shot!!! I force myself out of this mode, and convince my self its 40% jealousy and 60% panic attack on what might become of her…. Or is it?
