How can I stop myself from being jealous?

How do I stop myself from becoming jealous? I have never been jealous.. But lately, I can't help myself from being a bit jealous and I don't like it.. It all started some weeks ago.. When me and my bf were walking.. He's very social.. And we had seen a lot of his friends while we were spending some time together, he introduced me every time.. That didn't bother me, but what bothered me was that they were mostly girls?! And most of them were blondes.. I know I shouldn't be jealous about it.. But it just caught my eye and hasn't left my mind ever since.. :/

Another thing is that he has fb.. I haven't got it and I am very against it, he knows.. He told me on our very first date that he only has it because of university and that he doesn't spend much time on it.. Well, I just found out that he has over 300 friends on fb and that he has a subscription to follow two girls? I felt so bad when I saw that.. Like he lied to me from the beginning.. I got such a bad feeling :/

I hate this. I have never been jealous about one of my bf's in my life before.. But I just can't help feeling this way :( I really do love him and I know he loves me as well.. But I just feel bad about these things.. What can I do to stop feeling this way?

Oh.. And another thing.. We both study in the same city, away from home.. We both rent a room for students, but he rents it on the other side of the city.. We skype a lot, and each time we are skyping, there are people knocking on his door.. Asking him to go to have some drinks.. Or to just hang out.. He always tells them no, because he prefers to talk with me.. But it has been bothering me, because they knock on his door pretty late :/

What can I do? What do you think about this? I know it's kind of lame, but I really can't help it :(

Have you ever been jealous? And what did you do in that situation?

We have been together for 10 months. I am 21 and he is 22..

Thanks..

Update:

Thanks AC :) I don't think I'll have the courage though.. But we'll see :)

@ Hamesha: thanks.. :) Don't be silly, it did help a lot.. :) It's good to know it's normal.. :) And that I'm not the only one.. :) So thanks.. :)

Update 2:

@ Spandey: Thanks for being so honest.. :) I haven't mentioned anything about this to him yet, so he doesn't know.. And I'm not planning on starting some drama about this either.. :) It's just that it has been on my mind.. I know it shouldn't bother me and that he picked me.. And I am relatively confident.. It's just that.. It kind of took me off guard, I didn't expect it would bother me as much either.. But it did.. I'll try to work on it.. I really appreciate your honesty.. :)

Update 3:

@ Ax: hey! *waives* You shouldn't be sad.. :) And yes, I guess you are right.. It shows that you care about someone.. I just don't like to feel this way :/ It's like I'm a bit mad at him, but I don't want to tell him why :D Because he will most likely just make fun of meh :/ =') But you shouldn't feel sad.. :) It's not like I'm going to die over this :P Did you see my beautiful trousers? :)

Update 4:

@ Sweety: Wow, that really did help :) Thank you so much.. :) I guess you are right.. There's a reason why he picked me.. And I know he's honest and very loyal.. :) I will just have to get over this.. :)

    Well we both know that he is in the perfect position to cheat almost whenever he wants probably without you finding out and you know that's very possible that's why your becoming jealous and he has party friends, to be honest telling his friends ''no i want to stay here and talk'' isnt something to rely on, i got friends who cheat and use their gf's as backup plans or for sex and company, one time my cheating friend even had a txt saying ''im coming over and without the girls'' and he tagged it in my facebook for his gf to see, its a decoy to ae her think he's being good, and knowing him he was probably cheating that night, guys can be pretty mean huh? he doesnt care about her he has been doing it for round 4 years and she just puts up with it so its kidnda her fault that happens, he doesnt care about her or respect her ofcoarse hw ill be like that if she wont leave him. but Ana your a beautiful great girl and i hope he doesn't do things behind your back, is he hot? i know what some guys can be like and what girls in europe are like, and he is in environments where he could be weak. But in the end of the day, theres really nothing you can really do but ask yourself if you can trust him, its up to you if you want to find way to dig deeper into the situation and find out if he is honest or not, jealousy is wanting something for you and not sharing it with others, obviously you only want him for you! and it sounds like you love him allot and are probably a great girlfriend!

    He could be a good guy like me whos good looking but says no to other girls, when i was with my ex and she was in colombia, i dont if she cheated ecause of her jealousy and trust issues or shes just a ***** but i was always talking to other girls who i am good friends with and she thought i was super guapo and aid for this reason i can easily get other girls, and sometimes i would go to the bar or a concert or nightclubbing two weeks in a row which aparantly annoyed her, but not once did i cheat, i actually got offered a threesome from 2 hot french girls and said no, and a few days later is when i dumped her nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :( its heavenly oppurtunties liek that why i remain single now lol, like not many guys would say no to that, but i never cheated, your bf could be loyal in bars and nightclubs too!

    But in my ex gf'swas far away, same things but i was always suspicious of her and ready to break up but i couldn't do it without proof, i know she added a few guys in facebook who i knew she was flirting with so i decided then just to keep for for 2 more months until i question her and see what happens eventually you know, she lied things went dead i broke up with her turned her first love against her who she was lying to and keeping, she ran too one of the guys she was always talking in FB too, see i know people can get up to some sneaky stuff in facebook, few months later after the breakup i saw photos of her dancing at a party she never told me about. I only know this because of facebook, So in my situation i thought its better to be safe than sorry, and i found ways discover her secrets it took a little effort but my god it was worth it, i could have ended up with a fake cheating puta using me for my visa. I hope this story gives you an idea on things. It's very easy to cheat, you just need to decide if he is loyal or not, have you ever asked him if he cheated before, watch his eyes when he answers you and his reaction, i know you probably don't want to look stupid but sometimes these things are necessary

    So Ana, you got two options, decide if you can trust him and talk to him about this, or deo some research into his life. I been in the worse of this situation as i told you above but in the end of the day anyone can cheat its too easy, some people dont do it because they have morals and seld guilt,other people are just selfish looking out for themself first and not spreciating what they have.

    Goodluck and miss you :) oh and i ask is that aussie guy in your descrion me :O if it is thankyou but i dont remember you doing anything bad by me..

    ummm.. you got to know that it is normal to talk to the people of opposite sex. it is healthy n makes a guy confident about himself. So, to stop being jealous, you need to know what it feels like to be in his place. i bet you don't have many guy friends, do you? i suggest you go out there n talk to guys, chat up, live it up. i'm not asking you to flirt around, just be in their company, slowly you will be okay with your guy talking to girls.

    Jealous is an usual thing and its a Human nature.. Each & Every activities are an effects of Hormones which makes us to act.. But Hormones are not constant.. It may decrease... So don't worry about it..

    Only one thing is True in universe.... That is "True Love"... So Just enjoy your Lovable Happy moments with your Bf and live a happy life with them... Everything will be Okay...

    Best wishes :)

    what you're feeling and in love that happens. you love him a lot which is causing you to act in this way. its normal when you're in love it happens. if its because of those girls well then try to console yourself about that because he loves only you. it happens when you love someone and if its really bothering you about those girls then talk to him about it. you'll feel better :)

    Heyyyyy

    Accept the fact that your boyfriend is good at a lot of things. He prefers to talk with you. Isn't it enough to understand that your are his importance?

    Think of it this way, if your boyfriend is all amazing guy, well... out of all the girls in the world, he has chosen YOU. There must be something about you that floors him :)

    Trust me, you are so special to him from all the other girls who he talks to!

    I've been jealous before, but after knowing the fact that I AM HIS GIRLFRIEND, I eventually stopped being so.

    Having a lot of girls as friends doesn't matter but honesty matters. If he is honest, you need not be jealous.

    Hope I helped.

    :-)

    First off....*smiles (wait..not smile since you seem to be upset by the situation you're in)...*saddens, slowly waves* :(

    How can you stop yourself from being jealous, or overwhelmed with jealousies? Not sure. It's a natural feeling to be or feel jealous isn't it...especially when we find ourselves caring about someone....a lot?

    Isn't feeling jealous a way of saying 'we care'....but at the same time also indicates that 'we are insecure'?

    I know I would never feel jealous of someone that I have no care in the world for? Could be jealous of a friend because he starts hanging out with someone else more instead of me, jealous of a girl that I actually care a lot about and for, etc.

    Oh heck...I don't know. :(

    *sigh* I'm sad now.

    I miss you you know. K...sorry if my answer was pathetic.

    Edit:

    Yes you have every right to ponder...but only ponder and nothing else. Why shouldn't you? Just don't allow yourself to be overcome with feeling like so. When you do you will have slowly dwindle inside...like a part of you is dying.

    I know you don't want to confront him of the situation because you're afraid he might think that you're so full of doubts and then turn around to use it against you. And then again he might just tell you to relax and that there's nothing to worry over about...and be kinda upset that you've doubted him, which he rightfully should.

    Yes I saw the pink trousers. Thought you were going to stop teasing me? :'(

    Really want to hear what I have to say?

    Here's my answer and it's simple. Grow up top bring insecure, your being jealous might make your boyfriend just get over you simply because he's not doing anything wrong except being social. Personally I wouldn't blame him. If he's doing nothing wrong then your overreacting and making drama out of nothing. If this is what your doing then your not worth staying with because all you are is drama and who wants a relationship built on drama.

    Now to be a little more gentle as I was a bit harsh You really need to think before you act, because there will be consequences to your jealousy
