i feel guilty for being jealous of my friend, for she is dating my second biggest crush that ive liked for as long as i was atracted to people. like im not crazy jealous, just a slight sense of i-was-here-first. but i feel guilty because of the fact that i should be happy my two friends are happy toghether, and it isnt like he was ever going to like me in that ways anyhow. sometimes i hate my feelings.

We can't control our feelings

Boy, have I learned that.
Sometimes I get super ashamed how when there are people that are like really fast on the swim team that have a whole bunch of times to enter a meet, and I don't, I have a silent hope that they don't make them, because I want to make them, and if I can't, nobody should be able to.
However, I also truly do feel good for them and what they're doing, and I cheer them on. But inside whenever they make the times and are celebrating, I feel bad. Not really angry, just bad.
But, I accept I can't always control my emotions, and as long as they don't control me, it's cool.

No one escapes from life alive

Although you can't control

Although you can't control your emotions at least it's good you're being rational about things and have thought it through... I guess that's as much 'control' you can have. With time you'll get over the guilt part

It's difficult... I know!

You probably are implying that you know for a fact that your crush is irrevocably destined to remain only as a friend?

Jealousy is a quite normal emotion that you will likely be obliged to endure many times over during the next few years. It's just nature... but displaying it would be a definite error. It is very likely that your friends already have some appreciation for your discomfort...
