Am I being stupid about this...?

Question

I've got these 3 online friends who are all meeting up with each other soon.  And I've been feeling increasingly jealous about it.  I can't help but feel... left out, every time they start to talk about it in conversations.  One time I was excluded from a convo for most of the evening because they were talking about their plans for when they meet up.  The thing is, I know that, at the moment, it's damn near impossible for me to actually meet up with them, what with me living at the other end of the country, not to mention my parents... and yet it still doesn't stop me from wanting to kick something every time one of my friends brings it up.  Plus they keep bringing it up a lot and it almost feels like they're rubbing it in my face, but I don't want to tell them to stop it because I understand that they're excited about it.

Am I being stupid and need to just accept that I will hopefully be able to meet them one day, or should I mention to them how I feel about it?  I don't really want to ruin it by trying to make them feel bad.

I really understand this, I had similar problem. Since I live in little town (about 7000 people), and number of people You can be friend with isn't that big.

Now, since Internet chatting started to be popular, I managed to find lots of on-line friends. We had really great time on line, but after certain time they wanted us to meet together. Since 3 of them were from Britain, and one from US, it was natural to meet whee else but- London! 

When I said to my parents that I want to travel alone to other country they simply said- Forget it! I was 17 back than, and they had problem letting me going alone to some other city in our country, so imagine what it would take to let me go to London.

Of course, guys had great time in London, spent 7 remarkable days, and when they came back they couldn't stop talking about that! I felt really bad about that and after couple days I couldn't help but to tell them what I really felt. 

They totally understood, and they made a promise- Next meeting will be in Greece! It was great plan, cause my parents usually spend their holidays in Greece, and this year I finally met my friends, and I had 10 days that I'll never forget!

I know how important it is to have friends who live near You, guys from neighborhood or school, but when You manage to find people who You really like, and they fill same about You, it's shame to let something destroy it. Tell them how You fill, risk a little, and I think that You will manage to solve this problem.

Well, maybe you should tell your friends how you feel. I'm sure they'll be considerate.
I'm single, so everytime a friend of mine mentions their bf/gf, I get jealous. We're humans, we're like that =)

Its great that you have friends in other places. But its also important to have people in your life where you are. Make some friends around you, and keep your online friendship casual

That's not stupid at all. It's okay to feel left out. 

I agree with you completely.

I think you need friends wherever you are :( Just forget about them..
If you had your own friends you got to see everyday, I don't think it would bother you as much.
